Sleeping turtle 🐢✌️

Tartaruga li torqod 🐢✌️

🐢🐢🐢

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!

Kien qed nixxi fi triq kampanja u waqft biex ngħin wieħed jaqbeż it-triq u hu super turbo ħasra l-ġins tiegħi b'ħarba (mhux tinkle) ta' urina. Kien qed inżommha fuq il-lat iżda xorta waħda ħaditni tajjeb! Dak kien l-ewwel darba! M'hemmx sentimenti ħorox, probabbilment kien imbeżża' għall-mewt mill-pickup tiegħi, ġeneralment meta nħalli lilhom, kont fil-karozza żgħira tiegħi.

Ħares lejn il-mutuanti ninjas tal-adulti!

World Turtle Day 🐢

Jum Dinja tat-Tortoli 🐢

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:

huma relattivament faċli meta niġu għall-tortożi, u adattati biex jinżammu f'klimati iktar friski fejn il-ħażna barra ma tkunx dejjem possibbli. Bulb UVB huwa meħtieġ ukoll biex jgħin fil-proċess/ħolqien ta' vitamina "D3". Fil-daqs, it-tortożi huma żgħar sa medji minn l-Ewropa tan-Nofsinhar. Aħna nsejħu lilhom "il-Greċ", peress li xtrajt lil Toby għal mill-inqas 200 €, meta kien 3 ġimgħat il-kbir. (Ara l-immaġni :D)
Madankollu, din is-specie taqa' fil-kategorija l-iktar vulnerabbli fil-lista tal-Ktieb Aħmar 3, għalhekk taffettwa ħafna l-importazzjoni/esportazzjoni. Ħaġa ċerta li tista' tkun tossika minkejja li jiekol dawn - legumi, tomatijiet u kabbċi ... Anke pelleti pre-preparati għandhom ikunu magħmula bil-kura. 
Peress li l-autunno huwa hawn, Toby jiekol il-fjuri u l-ħaxix bħal lawnmower minkejja li huwa tant żgħir għalina.

Who knows this turtle?

Min jaf din it-tartaruga?

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: magħruf ukoll bħala t-tartaruga tal-għadira Ewropea - misjuba fl-Ewropa tan-Nofsinhar, Ċentrali, u tal-Lvant, l-Asja tal-Punent u partijiet mill-Afrika ta' Fuq tal-Mediterran. Iżda l-aktar post nord li jgħix fil-wild, huma l-Istati Baltici, il-pajjiż l-aktar fil-quċċata. L-aħħar darba li ġie osservat fil-wild, kien waqt il-gwerra dinjija l-ewwel. Matul is-snin sovjeti, sidien ħarġu popolazzjoni lejn il-partijiet tan-Nofsinhar u tan-Nofsinhar ta' Estonja. Minħabba li l-popolazzjoni hija tant żgħira, ma jaqgħux fil-"ktieb aħmar" tal-ispeċi f'riskju, iżda jiġu osservati mill-ix-xjenzati.
Din is-specie hija mfaħħar li tkun estremament intelliġenti, peress li huma mimlija personalità tajba, hekk kif ifformaw rabtiet qawwija mal-sidien tagħhom.
Huma attivi ħafna u jħobbu tank b'għadira baxxa u fonda (b'post ta' basking aċċessibbli ovvjament) id-dawl uvb huwa meħtieġ peress li huma ħafna dipendenti fuqu + din is-specie hija omnivora, iżda tleanja lejn 75% veggies u 25% proteini (pellets, ħut ta' feeder, ants, crickets u worms). Lehte tħobb il-fjuri u l-frott, anke naqsmu l-pistacchi.

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

Peress li ma kelli xejn sat-tv, l-iktar viċin li nista' naslu għal karattri barranin tal-kartuni, kien xi drabi bil-kompjuter, fejn tgħallimt dwar dan il-karattru.
Illum il-ġurnata, l-iktar esklussivi huma l-kotba li nistgħu nieħdu b'kera u dan huwa dak li qiegħed naqra :3 🐢
