Jacques (named after Jacques Cousteau) is my new juvenile Mississippi mud turtle!!!!
I got him Saturday (12/5) and he's still VERY spooky. The lady I got him from says he's very shy. Part of the reason he's shy is he was being bullied by the other juvenile mud turtle in their tank- that one got most of the food. So far he only ate a little bit on Saturday, and hasn't eaten since (I count the number of pellets and dried shrimp I leave him).
We seldom see him move, but we keep finding him in different areas of the tank: sort of like "Elf on the Shelf" but with a turtle!
