Peninsula Cooters
I have a hieroglyphic river cooter and he has only ever tried to bite twice in the year that I have had him. I believe this is because the first time my brother was wiggling his finger in front of his face and the second was just before feeding time, because I have them on a feeding schedule they know when they are going to eat...that might be why he tried to bite. It didn't hurt at all, it was just a bit surprising.
Well, my cooter's don't have a heater and they are super healthy. Just let them bask in the sun if you need them to get warm or if you don't have a heater like i do. c:
"Cooter" is a widespread regional term for a turtle or tortoise, especially among African American speakers. It derives from an African language through the Gullah dialect that was widely spoken on the sea islands off South Carolina and Georgia.
