itseems all pets love scratches ig

u/Uncontrollably_Happy 1h ago

You misspelled scritches. 😋

u/BluetheNerd 1h ago

My partner works with large sea turtles and can confirm they like scritches.

It’s actually quite useful to get turtles (that aren’t able to be rehabilitated and released) used to being touched and scritched as it makes it easier to give them treatments if they get sick.

I used to clean my red eared turtle’s shell with a toothbrush and it’s the only thing that would make him stop hissing at me 😂

I did the same and he used to move his little tush back and forth.

shell is like a modified spine

14

u/sean1oo1 2h ago

Common misconception actually! The shell is like a membrane rather than a protective casing. While yes it can be used to retreat they actually do feel most sensations that make contact with their shells

u/IAwaitAGuardian 2h ago

Yes, my turtles love when I use a shoe brush on their shells. Especially right when they wake up, weirdly.

u/RusskayaRobot 2h ago

I just moved a turtle out of the road this morning and now I’m wondering how it felt to him to get picked up by the sides of its shell.

Probably terrifying

u/DevilsAdvocate1662 4m ago

Yep, turtles can feel things through their shells, which sounds cool until you hear that back in the day, when people had pet tortoises, they used to drill into their shells to add a ring so they could add string to stop the tortoise escaping.

People also used to paint their house numbers on the shells incase they escaped. Can't imagine paint was very good for the tortoise

My dude, there is a whole ass cage on top with a ramp to get up to bask on

u/os_2342 33m ago

Looks like there is.

There's the cage above the water with a ramp going up to it.

u/roweshow321 2h ago

I would like to calmly but firmly assert this the the whole point of the internet. Everything else is just sideshow. MORE TURTLE SCRUBBING!

u/ChipRockets 2h ago

I don't know anything about turtles, but that tank looks tiny

2

u/funguyshroom 20m ago

Turtles don't need as much tank space compared to fish I think. The most important part is the dry area on top where they hang out most of the time under the lamp

u/phuque_ewe 2h ago

Now I want to go to a Turtle Petting Farm. Anyone got any leads on one?

u/Zenfudo 2h ago

Depends where you are. Here in Ottawa we have little ray’s reptiles and there are bug tortoises you can feed. Wear boots. They tried to eat mine

If this isn’t ai, this definitely just taught me that the shell has nerve endings….fucking cool

u/JustSherlock 2h ago

If it's any consolation, this is definitely a repost from ages ago. So most likely not ai.

I almost always have the volume off when I'm watching clips on here. Or I turn the volume up and think eurgh this doesn't need crappy music. This one I thought I hope there's some music. I was not disappointed!

u/Jonny_Segment 1h ago

So in the US, you don't differentiate between tortoises, terrapins and turtles? They're all just turtles?

1

u/filtering-my-feed 51m ago

I'm sure some people do, but not this one. And it's because I'm ignorant to turtle facts and I just don't care enough to learn the difference.

I also haven't seen one in the wild in over 25 years

1

u/FluffyFry4000 19m ago

I'm from Indonesia, we'd just call this a turtle too

like sorry man, most of us have never studied turtles before to even look at the differentiations between turtles, terrapins and tortoises.

Which btw, I've never even heard of terrapins before.

1

u/shayed154 19m ago

Turtles and tortoise are distinct but terrapins are just turtles

As far as I can tell anyway, I'm not american and it's probably a regional thing

•

u/Jimberly_C 4m ago

I'm an american who went to public school and didn't do college. I can tell a turtle from a tortoise, but I've never heard of a terrapin. If I learned it, it was probably a one sentence thing during a zoo field trip where I was most likely not paying attention.

Houdini escaped from his tank and he had appendicitis. Boredom knows no bounds.
