Red Eared Slider

Ahhh... one of my favorites.  I love little turtles.  In fact, I used to have one.  His name was Tucker, and he was the funniest little guy.  We don't really think of turtles as having a personality, but I kid you not, Tucker had one.  Tucker was by far the most social turtle I have ever been around.  Instead of diving in the tank to get away from you, he would try to swim towards you.  And when I took him out of the tank, he would follow me around my apartment wherever I went.  When I sat down, he would stop right by my feet, and when I walked away, he got up and followed me, albeit at a slightly slower pace.

Well, here I've painted a red eared slider.  I think it turned out really nice, and this guy looks totally at home sitting there among the grasses sunning himself.

Anyone wishing to try this out will find it fun and rewarding (and it was easier than I thought it would be).  Check out the video below to see how I did it.  Thanks.
