Siegfried is alive and well and having his shell polished nicely.

Voilá!



And ostriches are cute.



That is all.

*pattles Siegfried* That has gotta be the cleanest (and consequentially the cutest) tortoise I've ever seen ^____________^~*

People back home aren't too big on cleaning their tortoises/terrapins. They believe the animals can snap their fingers & hold on for a really long long time.... So they seldom touch them =/ They just leave them in a cage or a tub of murky smelly water for their entire lives... =(

Meooooow... poor tortoises! T_T They are endangered, how can people mistreat them like that? *sniffs* And they only snap you if you're very slow and if they hate you. My Siggy loves me, he has no reason so snap me. Although, he once got my finger accidentally and that was a nasty cut. Their beaks are sharp like scissors, seriously!

That's what I thought - that they won't bite you if you've been nice to them, based on the tiny baby terrapins I used to play with.

Yeah... =( They're really badly treated back home T_T You know, once I knew this man who kept a huge softshell turtle - freshwater kind & almost a metre in length (about 60-70cm being the shell) - in a tub in an unused bathroom below his house. Later on he slaughtered it & ate it T_T It's terrible!! Sometime after that when my dad tricked me into eating turtle meat I absolutely yelled at him T_T
