Red-eared sliders are masters of hide-and-seek… except when the sun’s out. Then it’s spa day.

Moe 🐢 most of the time: “Let me out!! I want to adventure!!!”

Moe 🐢 when I take him out for adventures: “I am a statue. I’m invisible 🫥 and you can’t see me!!”

#turtle #redearedslider

Moe the red-eared slider turtle in his above tank basking area while it was in the process of being assembled. The enclosure is make with black metal cube shelving components which have approximately 1” wide openings between the metal grates. He is right against the front with his head & two front legs all sticking out of one hole, trying to will his 3x wider & 2x taller body through the opening. Moe is optimistic about what he can fit into. I feel his pain.

Moe the red ear slider turtle is standing perfectly still on the hard wood floor of a kitchen. You can see his two front legs slightly sticking out & his head is out a little but his hind legs and tail are curled up and tucked in. Moe is braver about adventures in theory than in practice. I mean, relatable, buddy.
