Courting Turtles

Big big discovery--My two turtles are courting!!! 

It's yesterday afternoon, after a full meal, they were enjoying their leisure time and it seemed nothing unusual. Suddenly, Pumbaa stretched out his "electrified shivering arms" towards Timon--the typical movement while turtles' courting!!! Only few seconds though. Timon showed no interest at first. While, moments later, it's Timon's turn!!! She stretched out her neck towards Pumbaa, sniffed through his neck to his nose and looked at him with the eyes that is full of love!!!!!! Then the same "electrified shivering arms"!!! Haaa~~~ They are in love!!!


Sadly, I didn't catch that moment. I supposed they would do that again today. But it seems they have no mood after the breakfast. So, this afternoon is expected to be the time. And I will put them in a big container with plenty of water dotted with leaflets--an ideal environment for courting!!! And, of course, the camera must be standby.^^


They failed me!!! Maybe it's the leaflets distracted their mood!!! They were toying with those leaflets--bite them, and spit them. Only photos bellow were captured.
