Description This is Franklin the day I found him on the beach and took him home. It's been almost 7 months since this photo was taken, and he's as big as my palm now, but this is just such a cute photo that I had to show it.

He's so teensy I just want to *carefully* hug him!

Oh, I'm a guy, I'm 31, I don't care. Franklin is boss.

oh wait, I lied, its only illegal in georgia, kansas, maryland, minnesota, oklahoma, ontario, vermont, and west virginia. Most other states you just need a permit, or nothing at all... I'm in VT so I assumed it was illegal anywhere NVM!!!

Flameshadow117 [2010-03-23 19:35:42 +0000 UTC]

aww, it IS a map!

......also, that's kinda illegal. But I'm sure you know that so I guess I shouldn't bother you with complaining >_<;;

Very sweet. Almost tiny as dime size. It gives me a message itself that resembles as "Life is tiny" or "Life is so short". Great interpretation friend.

Aww, cutey cutey.

My Pongo was even tinier when I bought him. Now he's bigger than a plate and it's so hard for me to take care of him. ;_;

Goodness, even smaller? I'm surprised you didn't lose him!
I'm hoping Franklin is indeed a boy because I hear the females grow to be twice as big as the males. I don't know what I'll do if he gets as big as a dinner plate.

Actually the females don't always grow... Bindi stopped growing and she is half as Pongo, altough she is 11 years old too. Someone told me that in captivity they may not develop properly, poor darlings. I suffer so much for my turtles. I try to feed them properly and offer them fun things to do, but they're still in captivity. :<

Really? Huh. Well, that gives me hope, even though it's for a selfish reason. My parents' house doesn't have a yard big enough to make a pond for him when he's older, and I'm going off to college this fall, anyway. I do plan to save for a 100 gallon tank for him in a couple years so he'll have more room. And, he's certainly socialized! Haha, I take him out of his tank to run around for a while everyday, and he'll run over to the cats to mess with 'em.

I never planned to have a pet turtle years back, but Franklin really is a joy.

There's a nature reserve about 15 minutes away from my house. All I have to do is grab a ride down the street and tromp through the woods.

Wow, double size comparison! I didn't think that sea turtles would make pets! What a gorgeous photo.

cadydid In reply to Diesel-McCool [2010-02-08 04:12:56 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I doubt sea turtles could ever be pets. My turtle's a freshwater Northern Map, so he's much easier to handle/maintain.

Thank you very much.
