Map Turtle Loving Attention, and Being Pet

This is Tucker, my map turtle letting me pet his head. He was my first turtle and is now about 6" from front to back of his shell. Great personality.

This particualr night he actually let me pet his head instead of taking off into the water.

Great video! Are those live plants that fall into the tank? Or are they growing inside the tank?

@eHalleyb08 No the plants are just the plastic plants you get at the pet store.

thats quality your turtles must really trust you :)

@deanthompson88  I've had them since they were about silver dollar size. They are now out in the back yard pond - they still let me feed them and pet them.

Hi, this was filmed about 2 years ago - they did outgrow this 55 gallon - and are now in our backyard pond. They love it.

@15neesh lol they can but if theyre 2 females you'll have big problems :p 10 inches range size for females, you'd need bout 150 gallon tank if it are 2 females!
