My Painted Turtle

My Painted Turtle, Oscar

My turtle is 2 years, 5 months, and 8 days old.

My turtle’s name is Oscar.

Oscar likes to lay in the sun and sleep.

Oscar sheds little bits off his shell.

Oscar`s shell bits are hard and see-through.

His toe-nails fall off and grow back.

Oscar digs up rocks and puts them into a pile,

so that’s why we had to get rid of the rocks

that were on the bottom of his tank.

He eats little turtle pellets and dead mealworms.

We feed him 2 times a day.
