Posted: Sun May 29, 2016 11:59 pm Hellllloooo ~ I am new to this turtle community
Hi turtle people! My name is Katie, and I live in Chicago with my baby red eared slider Pan who I adopted about 7 months ago. They're still only about two inches or less long. They're (he's/she's) a very energetic, expressive lil guy. Whenever they see me or one of my roommates approaching the tank, they paddle frantically and do their little turtle smile, and respond if we mimic their paddling movements with our hands. So charming and clumsy.
Also every morning they sit on their basking log, balanced on one foot and their belly, with the other three feet extended out, just stretching them. Sometimes they close their eyes and do this for countless minutes. I like to think they are a meditating yogi.
Anyway I love my baby a lot, and am excited to have found a community of other turtle parents.
Gonna attach a glamour shot of Pan.

Art student living in Chicago with my 2 inch, 1 oz. red eared slider Pan, named after the Greek god of the wild. Pan loves basking, doing yoga, watching videos of fish, and nibbling on my finger.
