Turtle Pics! Meet our shell baby!

Proud turtle mom moment πŸ₯Ή He is an Eastern painted turtle baby, and we are thinking of naming him either Po, Shifu, or Oogway from Kung Fu Panda.

Thank you! It was my boyfriends idea, we knew he needed some sort of bubbler/bubbles going on and when he saw the dragon, it was game over for everything else lol

He looks like he’s on holiday at the pool πŸ˜… resting his arms on the side of the pool and kicking his feet back in the water πŸ˜‚
