Penny's from Heaven

I realized the other day that my turtle Penny and I have been living together for over 7 years. So it's about time that I introduce her to everyone.



This is Penny. She's a box turtle. She eats worms and bananas and strawberries and tomatoes. She doesn't bite. Penny lives in an aquarium in our computer room and she's very happy there because she can watch Elliot play video games. Penny is the best turtle in the world.

Penny is so cute! Is she called a box turtle because she lives in a box?

Penny is really cute. You must take good care to her - seven years is long time for a box turtle to survive in captivity.

They are called box turtles because they have two shells and the inner shell has a hinged flap that allows the turtle to hide when frightened.
