What does it mean when two turtles look at each other and they flicker there feet at the other one?
I'm not sure what kind of turtles you have. I am assuming that they are aquatic and probably the common Red Eared Slider. The males of the species have especially long front claws (nails) that they flicker at a female. If you have two that are doing it to each other, I suspect that you have two amorous males. The females have much shorter nails and shorter, wider tails.
