Post 4: My pet

This is my turtle called Siba, it belongs to a species of semi-aquatic reptiles known for their red ears, their shell can reach 25 centimeters, they can live between 20 and 30 years.

My father gave it to me when I was 7 years old. I took care of it and fed it since I was a child, I think I did very well because now it is giant, it measures almost 22 centimeters and weighs 240 grams.

My little turtle Siba is 15 years old, she has lived most of her life with me, her favorite food is dried shrimp and pellets. She also loves to rest in the sun and to be taken out of the aquarium, believe it or not, turtles like this are very fast, they like to hide under sofas and beds.

Siba is like a sister to me, she is part of my memories as a child. She used to be very small, but as the years went by, we had to change her aquarium more than twice to make her comfortable.
