Does my turtle have rabies???

Jade4u

It's been good to know ya
lol (kidding)

But he has gone nuts he is in the aquarium and he is banging his head against the thermometer. The bottom part became unsuctioned and is still stuck by the top suction piece so what he is doing is causing it to bang constantly against the glass of the aquarium. lol It is only sticking out just a little bit not by much. WTF did the thermometer ever do to him. It is sooo funny though watching this guy going spazzy over a thermometer. He must be bored.
 
It sounds familiar. If you could find a female turtle SP for him it might clear his head.
 
Turtles cant get rabies, thats a mammal thing. Turtles are pretty smart and can go stirr crazy. Fill up the bathtub with room temp water make sure there is no soap on the surface of the tub and let the poor little guy get a little turtle workout. Dont get in the tub with him and wash the tub well after the workout. Turtles carry some very nasty bacteria under the shell where the legs tail and head stick out. If this doesn't chill him out talk the guys and girls at the menagerie on parliement st. they know their turtle shit.

Yes, that may be it. But don't watch them mating...have you ever seen a turtle's face when he's having an orgasm? I have - it's not a pretty sight! :p Actually it's pretty funny.

Btw, Esco, I like your sig pic. I have a friend whose cat sits on the couch like that and watches tv (without the remote and the beer of course, lol).
 
ha ha of course I know he cannot get rabies. I think he was just pissed at the thermometer for coming unstuck and his home being different. But it did surprise me when I heard this tap tap tap coming from my kitchen. :eek: When I saw what he was doing I just had to watch how ticked he was. lol I did eventually put it back for him and he has simmered down. But, now I am thinking maybe he enjoyed it like a toy. hmmmmmmm
 
Maybe he had a fever and was trying to take his temperature?
 
Maybe he's trying to tell you the waters too fucking cold!
 
Let him out of the tank once in awhile. Or get a bigger tank. Does it have a perch to rest on so he doesn't have to swim 24/7?
 
He is still tiny enough for the aquarium that he is in when he gets his new aquarium next week he will have way too much space. Yes, he has his platform that he goes and gets heat from the lamps on. I also do have a plastic container that is his that he can walk in. Don't worry he is taken care of.

Be very proud, Jade. The turtle is actually training it's Ninja moves all day and all night, getting ready to save our world.

Yes, you've got a Ninja Turtle. And in no time it'll grow into something like this

Jade, if I was the turtle, I'd be thinking to myself, "I'd love to tap your ass. But since this damn glass is in the way, I'll just bang on the thermometer thingy here" :D

You've got to think like a turtle. Why rush like a rabbit, when you can have a long slow comfortable screw.
 
Turtles have saminella.
