She’s great. I knew she was a keeper when the turtle didn’t scare her away.That’s funny, she new you had a pet turtle and married you anyway, good woman!
And I always thought “turtle flipping” was putting them on their back and watching them right themselves. Man that was a bad joke!I have a littlestory too
While studying nursing in Cleburne Texas about 24 years ago I found out that the local pet store would buy red eared slider turtles ( they had to be under a certain size for some reason )
We were newlyweds and finances were tight lol ( and I did not know any better ) . So I caught a few, maybe 5 or 6 at a pond and they payed me $5 dollars for each.
I found out later that they were selling them for $ 25.
I so dislike "turtle flippers" to this day
I think that’s a pretty rare find, can you imagine how old that guys was.She’s great. I knew she was a keeper when the turtle didn’t scare her away.
I was on “a walk in nature” a few months ago and found this next to a creek. I didn’t realize until I picked it up it was just a shell. Now it lives on a shelf in our house.
Do cows count as nature?

This place is full of cow tippers and turtle flippers.

A few years ago we came upon a turtle with my kids while bicycling and made this silly video.

I'm enjoying everyone's contributions.
Good for your son for doing well and good for you for following through!Cool thread, Dan!
My son has a pet Herman's Tortoise. We promised him if he did good in school he could have one. End of the year, he did great, what could I do but get him one? The person at the pet store says, "he could live 50-100 years"
Here's Linus at Hitchcock Nature Center in the Loess Hills near Crescent, IA, just as we got locked down- April 2020.
They make great pets.
Maybe it would have been more interesting if you would have been given a Racing Turtle Jack . they might be 25 to 33% faster .I'd think a tortoise was pretty cool today, but as a kid, it was definitely a disappointment!
