Terry the Terrapin says hi from Ireland!

[TerryTerrapin]

Terry is a male mississippi map turtle, roughly 6-7 months (I unfortunately don't know hatch date)
He loves food and nosediving off his basking rock and knocking down the 'No Fishing' sign in his tartarium.

I've already had loads of help on this forum and look forward to talking turtle some more

Recently I was concerned about shedding which I wasn't sure was excessive or not, but it's mostly gone now and I think I can see some scutes starting to lift so looks like he's growing normally.

Turtles are about €20-€40 depending on breed/size/shop. I don't know too much about torts! A few people have them but I think generally they're an unusual pet

Okay. I keep thinking someday I might find a relative joining here. My family came from County Mayo. McGuires, Murrays and the like.
