My Pets: Aquatic Turtles

Hi dear readers!

 

This week I’m going to tell you about the my pets. I like this term because I love my pets and I enjoy when something question me if I have pets and how they are. I have two aquatic turtles, called “Tuga and Tuggi” of species “trachemys scripta elegans”, or popularly called like “Red ears”. They are ten years approximately (I don’t know their years exactly, because I adopted them when they already were adult) and measure about 20 centimeter. They live in an aquarium because I don’t have a place bigger for them, like a courtyard with a pond. In this place, they have water and a dry zone because they need to take sunbath for their metabolism (It’s necessary for they be able to eat, move, remove waste, etc.) 

My pets are with me since 2015. One day, my dad arrived with them in a container because they lived in this place (they lived in bad conditions). My mom and me were frightened and we didn’t want to have them because we didn’t know how take care of them, but then we adopted, loved and learned how take care of them.
