My Pet Turtle

by Helmy Fauzi from SMAN 5 Bandung


I want to tell you about my pet. Its name is Plue. I named it Plue because I think it is ...... well I don’t know why, I just like to call it Plue. Plue is a turtle which is more precisely. It is a Brazilian turtle. And I think Plue is a male and about three years old. I calculate it from the day I buy him in a pet shop.

Plue Is very unique for me, he has a shell on the top of his body, green scales, long neck, small tail and he has claw in every fingertip he has. Oh and he also has red stripe on his head. His size lies about 8-9 cm.

It always comes closer to anyone who gets near him, I think it is because he thinks that he wants to feed him. Oh yeah I forget to tell that I feed him with turtle food that I buy in the pet shop and sometimes I also feed him with little fish and he is very excited when I feed him with fish. It catches it too very quickly. And the aquarium is very crowded because they chase on another.

But there is something scary about my turtle. When I buy another turtle .... Looks, they are very strange, he always stares at my new turtle. First I think that he is happy because he has a friend in his aquarium. But suddenly he bites my new turtle and I don’t know when it happened. When I came back I saw my new turtle almost lost half of its legs and .... he still bite it. Poor turtle, after that incident that turtle died and I don't want to buy any turtle again.

Despite that he has an unusual habit. I still raise him because he is my first turtle that I have ever had.
