This is not random, it is a thought out discourse that went through my mind this morning:
Our pet red eared slider turtle is still in semi-hibernation. We've had him for over 8 years, his shell was about 3 or 4" long when we got him, now he's almost 12" long. We worry about him a little, and check him often. My kids keep asking why he's not eating or moving much "dad, is he dead?" but he's done this for about the last 7 years or so, I believe it to be normal ...for a turtle named Franklin. Wake up soon, Frankin; we have good tasting bugs waiting for you. He loves to tear cicadas apart so when we catch one, into the tank it goes buzzing around and Franklin aggressively attacks; he seems to be the antithesis of slow and laid back, he's very aggressive when not hibernating so his chances of getting a job in those comcast commercials is zilch. Big earthworms are his favorite, we dig them out from under our cut grass/branches/weeds pile, plenty there for our fishing needs plus his dietary supplement.
