Painted Turtle Essay

Satisfactory Essays

My brother Broden has a turtle, his name is Sam. Sam is a painted turtle, a painted turtles are the most widespread native turtle of North America. Sam eats about 12 to 15 pieces of food twice a day. My brother has to feed him when he eats breakfast and when he eats supper. Sometimes Broden takes Sam out for a walk on our driveway, other times Broden puts Sam on the trampoline and lets him walk around on it. Broden got Sam from a pet store in Iowa City, and he is not very good at feeding him so often times I have to feed him instead. You can tell if a painted turtle is a boy or a girl because males have long tales that are wide at the base like Sams, and females tales are thin and short.
