christmas tango

-merry christmas. when i was little i would always ask for a turtle and my mother unit would always say NO THEY STINK AND CARRY DISEASE and i would do joking about brothers but anywayanyway so i never got a turtle and that was always stuck in my head that THEY STINK AND CARRY DISEASE and plus i did not want the responsibility well for christmas friends amanda and tanya thought bitch and i were ready and got us a BABY TURTLE!!! its a red ear slider and he is super super cute and i think it is a he or it could be a she i do not know and i do not care but i named him tango. i spent most of yesterday watching him. he is tiny and i am afraid to play with him just yet but i will. he finally started eating this morning because maybe he was not as scared shitless as he was the last two night. anywayanyway TANGO is the shit and i am fully going to take this on and if he dies i will kill myself. he will not stink because i will change the tank all the time and stuff. just you wait i will be the best turtle dad ever.
i do not have pictures up yet but i will when i go into work on wednesday. he is sooo cute. he does this thing where he swims to the water filter and goes in front of it and just thrashes about and i am not sure if he does it on purpose but it is cute and funny to watch. if anyone knows some good tips on turtle love let me know... i am new at this.
that is all for now. merry christmas.

update: here is my favoritestest picture of tango


when i originally posted i had not done much research and then i did and i will honestly say i was all like OH SHIT these things are high fucking maintence and not because i can not handle it i thought i would not have time to deal with it so i almost said we had to give it back because i did not want him to die and then ya. like A he should not be in gravel like in the picture because they eat like everything and needless to say gravel does not do friendly things to turtle digestive tracks and so ya we cleaned all the gravel out and we need certain type of lamps and ramps and heaters and shit and so ya. but i looked at him when i came home and i can not give him up. he is too cute. i love him. more than bitch. in that turtle way. seriously. i do. its quite sad....
