Turtle Thursday: Nap Time '08

Most days I get home to see Silent Bob, the dark phased Texasdiamondback terrapin sprawled out on his floating log soaking in some full spectrum rays. It's a nice life. But what I love most is the fact that he's so comfortable in his environment that he has no fear and is able to relax and nap with humans moving about. That's when you know you've taught your turtle well. However, he wouldn't last a second in the wild. We've completely eliminated his instincts of fear and caution.
