Bren, cool turtle, love the coloring!

The pink-y red has been a new addition to her colour scheme since she came of reproductive age.

Not bad for starting out life the size of a nickel... she's now the size of a small dinner plate and lives in a 70 gallon tank in the rec room.

She's also of a species that has no actual life expectancy, they die only of injury or illness, I don't remember the $10 word for it, but she could well outlive me. Kind of neat to share your living space with a direct dinosaur descendant... especially one with the brain the size of a pea that still maintains quite a unique personality.

p.s. negligible senescence is the term, I believe... thank you, Google.
