ELMER--THE LAST WOOLWORTH TURTLE

 

Bite this


Hi, I'm Elmer, I am a Red Eared Slider.  Here's a picture of me doing what I do the best...biting.  I'll bite your finger or some meat,  just the same to me.  I'm  28 years old. I'm a girl.  They never bothered to rename me even after I laid some eggs. I was bought from a Woolworth's in 1972.  Baby turtles were no longer sold after 1973 and now there are no more Woolworth's.

I love to eat prepared turtle foods like Reptomin, Pretty Pets and Zoo-med. I adore crickets and mealworms.  Occasionally I like to eat chicken or turkey.  You should see me trying to eat a grape, it's like you trying to eat a basketball without your hands.

I love to bask on my branch in my tank.



Happy Birthday to me!!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 


Finally, the humans took a new picture of me.  Is this my better profile?  More mature?  More new pictures are coming.  Stay tuned.

When I was young, the only schools were for fish, not turtles, so I didn't learn to read. But if I could, I'd read these stories.

Speaking of which, did any of you catch the Todd Mundt Show from Michigan Public Radio  in March? Did they talk about little old me?

I won a Turtles and Tortuga's Turtleriffic Award!


I was one of the lucky ones. I got to live. Many of my brothers and sisters died horribly because they did not get the proper foods or housing. 
My little friend, Casey was not as lucky.  This is his Memorial.
Poor little guy had pneumonia and Metabolic Bone Disease, two of the problems that can happen to pet turtles
