this is 50 cent. our most treasured turtle, an international traveller named both for the rapper and for the fact that he used to be the size of a 50 cent piece. now he's a tank.
-this picture (circa 2005) shows how tiny and precious he was, a size i naively thought he would stay.~ sorry i cannot for the life of me get this picture to rotate.
He's been with us throughout our entire marriage, and despite his occasional stink and the catlike noises he's started to make in the middle of the night, i think he'll be around for a long time. hopefully he stops growing.
This weekend we took him outside for the very first time, and let him wander around the yard. he was quite the explorer! we also tried to get a picture of him eating out of mckay's hand, something he's done before. we're convinced it would have worked this time if we'd tried feeding him something else besides a juicy pineapple.
Some may think its silly to devote an entire post to a reptile, sorry, but he's our baby. plus he's super awesome.
oh my gosh, when i saw the title of this post i thought fifty had died- heaven forbid! i am so glad to see he is doing well :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he was still around either! Crazy, he is huge!
