I was driving down a country road and stopped to help one cross the road and it super turbo power washed my jeans with a blast (not a tinkle) of urine. I was holding it to the side but it still got me good! That was a first! No hard feelings,  it was probably scared to death of my pickup,  usually when I've moved them i was in my tiny car.

Watch out for adult mutant ninja turtles!

Ech sinn an der Mënschheet an der Strooss gefuer a sinn gestoppt fir eng ze hëllefen d' Strooss ze iwwerqueren an et huet meng Jeans mat engem Blast (net e Sprëtz) vu Urin super turbo gewäsch. Ech hunn et un der Säit gehal, mee et huet mech trotzdem gutt getraff! Dat war eng éischte Kéier! Keng haard Gefiller, et war wahrscheinlech deet angscht virun mengem Pickup, normalerweis wann ech si beweegt hunn, war ech an mengem klengen Auto.

Passt op fir erwuesse mutant ninja turtles!

Testudo hermanni:

are relatively easy as far as tortoises go, and suited to keeping in cooler climates where outdoor keeping might not always be possible. A UVB bulb is also needed to help process/create vitamin "D3". In size tortoises are small to medium-sized from southern Europe. We call them "the greeks", since i bought Toby atleast 200 €, when he was 3 weeks old. (See the pic :D)
However, this specie belongs the lowest vurnable cathegory in the Red book list 3, so it influences the import/export alot. Certain foods may prove toxic despite they do eat these - legumes, tomatoes and cabbage ... Even pre-prepeared pellets are needed to be careful with. 
Since autumn is here, Toby eats leaves and grass like a lawnmower despite it being so little for us.

Hermann's tortoise

Testudo hermanni:

si sinn relativ einfach wat d'Schildkröten ugeet, an si si gutt fir d'Haltung an kälteren Klimaten wou d'Ausserhalung net ëmmer méiglech ass. Eng UVB-Bull ass och néideg fir d'Veraarbechtung/Erstellung vun Vitamin "D3". An der Gréisst sinn d'Schildkröten kleng bis mëttelgrouss aus dem Süde vu Europa. Mir nennen si "d'Griechen", zënter ech Toby fir d'mannst 200 € kaaft hunn, wéi hien 3 Wochen al war. (Kuckt d'Bild :D)
Allerdéngs gehéiert dës Spezies zur niddregster verwundbarer Kategorie an der Rote Buch Lëscht 3, sou datt et d'Import/Export vill beaflosst. Bestëmmte Liewensmëttel kënnen toxesch sinn trotz datt si dës iessen - Hülsenfrüchte, Tomaten an Kohl ... Selbst virdru preparéiert Pellets sinn néideg fir virsiichteg ze sinn. 
Zënter de Fuesse sinn hei, ësst Toby Blieder an Gras wéi eng Rasenmäher trotz datt et sou wéineg fir eis ass.

Who knows this turtle?

Wien kennt dës Schildkröt?

Emys orbicularis: aka european pond turtle - found in southern, central, and eastern Europe, west Asia and parts of Mediterranean north Africa. But the most northern range to live in the wild, is Baltic States the most upper country. Last seen in the wild, was during ww1. During the soviet years, owners released a population to the southern and northern parts of Estonia. Since the population is so small, they will not fit in the "red book" of endangered species, but are kept an eye open by scientists.
This specie is praised to be extremely smart, since they're so full of wholesome personality, as they form strong bonds with their owners. 
They're very active and love a tank with both shallow and deep water ( with accessible basking spot of course ) uvb lights are a must as they're very dependant on it + this specie is omnivore, but lean towards 75% vegetables and 25% protein ( pellets, feeder fish, ants, crickets and worms). Lehte likes leaves and fruits, we even share peanuts.

Meet Lehte

Emys orbicularis: och bekannt als europäesch Pond-Schildkröcht - fonnt an südleche, zentralen an östleche Europa, westlech Asien an Deeler vun der mediterraner nordege Afrika. Awer déi nördlechst Regioun, an där se wild liewen, ass d'Baltesch Staaten, dat ass dat héchst Land. Zu leschter Kéier an der Wildnis gesin, war während dem 1. Weltkrich. Während den sowjetesche Joren hunn d'Besëtzer eng Populatioun an de südleche an nördleche Deeler vun Estland fräigelooss. Zënter der Populatioun esou kleng ass, wäerten se net an der "rouder Buch" vun der bedréit Spezies passen, awer si ginn vun de Wëssenschaftler ënner Observatioun gehal. 
Dës Spezies gëtt gelueft, extrem intelligent ze sinn, well si sou voller gesond Perséinlechkeet sinn, wéi si staark Bindungen mat hire Besëtzer bilden. 
Si sinn ganz aktiv an hunn eng Tank gär mat souwuel flache wéi och déif Waasser (mat zougängleche Sonnenplazen natierlech) UVB-Liicht ass e Must, well si ganz dovun ofhängeg sinn + dës Spezies ass omnivor, awer tendéiert zu 75% Geméis an 25% Protein (Pellets, Fëderfësch, Mënschen, Kricketen an Würmer). Lehte gär Blieder an Uebst, mir deelen souguer Erdnüssen.

Since i didnt had sat-tv, the closest for me to get into foreign cartoon characters, was sometimes by computer, where i learned about this character.
In nowadays, most exclusive are the books to borrow and this is what im reading :3 🐢

Among childhood gems

Sinn zënter ech keng Sat-TV hat, war d'äusserst Nächst fir mech fir an auslännesch Cartoon-Charaktere ze kommen, heiansdo duerch de Computer, wou ech iwwer dëse Charakter geléiert hunn.
Heiansdo sinn déi meescht exklusiv d'Bicher, déi een ausleihen kann, an dat ass wat ech liesen :3 🐢
