petsmart classifying african sideneck turtles as "beginner" is crazy i can't think of a single reptile i would classify as a beginner pet but turtles would be one of the least beginner friendly i could think of

You seemed interested so... sorry for this

Back in 2022 i made four more turtle babies for rise specifically and I fell in love with making ocs and never went back to self insert but anyways

Picasso "Pick" Hamato, the eldest alongside his twin sister Renoir "Ren" Hamato. Pick is an African Sideneck Turtle (Pelomedusa subrufa) and wears a lime bandana, and Ren is a Leatherback Sea Turtle (Dernochelys coincea) and wears a cyan mask. Then is Monet "Mona" Hamato, and she wears a pink bandana and is a Mississippi Map Turtle (Graptemys Pseudogeographica kohni). Finally there's O'Keeffe "Keef" Hamato, and he is a Pink-bellied Side-necked Turtle (Emydura subglobosa).

Essentially I decided on plot and went "Hey what if after the events of the movie Huginn and Muninn somehow accidentally combine Lou's DNA and Draxum's DNA and make four MORE turtle babies wouldn't that be something?" and so they're all part goat Yokai.

Anyways I gotta go IRL rn so um final bit of info; Pick and Ren are about a year old, Mona's 8 months old, and Keef's about 5 months old, and I will talk more about them later thank you for letting me rant mutual cuuno

oh my god.. the skrunklies

Aww how cute!! How big is Frankie?

frankie isn't all that big tbh but she's not small either.

She's pretty old (Like I've had her for ten years and she's been alive before that) but I think she's like an african sideneck turtle or something so like this:

[jamtav]

i measured & weighed stinkie for her 2 year anniversary with me, and she is now 1 lb and 0.5 oz! she is 6 inches in length and 4 inches across 😭💕💕

Everyone say hello to Mikey, my sister's new African sideneck turtle. He has a permanent smile!

Also (anon from the last ask), the african sideneck will sometimes shake his head, is that normal, the others dont do that

Whoops missed this part! As long as it’s not a super regular occurrence (like if he does it every day multiple times) I wouldn’t worry too much. If he’s doing it a lot it could be something’s bothering him, maybe an itchy spot on his head or neck, some shedding skin, or possibly even an ear abscess

If you’re worried I would just keep an eye on his head and neck for anything out of the ordinary. Maybe discoloration of the skin or skin that’s a different texture, shedding skin, or swelling (in the case of an abscess).
