I think turtles disapprove just as much as bunnies do.

Kyle
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 01:34 PM

Oh my. There is nothing cuter than a teeny turtle.

I propose they form a street gang: Teeny mutant ninja turtles!

Yay for UglyKitty's turtle being pictured! Over on Etsy we're trying to decide what to name him :).


BTW, UglyKitty is her Etsy shop name--I'm not being a jerk :)

I've always been fond of the name Sheldon for turtles...you know, either that or Vindicator.

Meatcup
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 01:54 PM

*girlish squeel* I'm so excited! He's going to be our office pet and right now we're all arguing over a good name for him. :)

Thanks so much for featuring the little guy!!

Renee
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 01:56 PM

I love turtles! Especially tiny ones like this.

Eastie
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 01:57 PM

I want to put him in my pocket and abscond.

This cute lil guy reminded me of this picture. Found it a while back, no idea where it originates from:

I cannot withstand his delicate turtle cuteness! . . . must..have..oxygen...

Kritter
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 02:04 PM

He's so tiny! I want to put him in a glass of water and watch him swim around in it. Like it's a full size pool.

Kit
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 02:05 PM

I want him...now!
*reaches to grab cuteness but bonks head off screen instead...ouch*

Post title = perfect. Teeny, tiny turtle going "ehn" = perfect.

I think this is the most perfect of Cute Overload posts.

my dad's nickname for me when i was little was "turtle". i am quite humbled by this picture, as it's clear that i never was, nor will ever be, nearly this cute!

anner
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 03:39 PM

I'll show my ignorance of turtles by asking, do teeny toitles like this grow up into big huge toitles? or is this some kind of pygmy breed of turtles (so to speak) and he won't get maybe a LOT bigger?

Mary
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 03:51 PM

Wow, that turtle's not too much bigger than the ladybug! Teeny tiny turkle! ("Hey! Put me down! How would YOU like to be held way up in the air by something squeezing your belly, huh?")

Can I have one of those tiny baby turtles? He's so sweet.. Is he kissable?

TEENIE TINY TURTLE!!!

Rosy Marie
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 04:50 PM

now THAT is the definition of "bite sized"!

maltese parakeet
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 05:06 PM

great thing about sea-turtles (or just turtles) is that they stay cute even when they get big and old- or in the case of tortoises huge and ancient...

noizfonoil
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 05:06 PM

Turtle! *dies from Cute*

villy
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 06:19 PM

Seeing this little guy reminds me of when my mom and her girlfriends had a crafts/collectibles shop. About this time of year, they were digging up the dirt to plant flowers, and up popped up all of these little painted turtles! I guess they must have been hibernating and were woke up by the digging! My in-laws still have one!

Kate B.
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 06:45 PM

oh my gosh, could he BE any more smaller!

carmen
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 06:46 PM

Holy crap!
It took me a minute to even figure out what that was! That is an unfathomably TINY turtle. Eek!

Alex
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 06:51 PM

That is a flying turtle. Renee (or whomever's hand that is) has just caught it in mid-flight.

Aubrey
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 07:29 PM

It's a TMNT, Squeeanardo!

Surfrock66
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 07:30 PM

But I think you need just few more turtles to form a proper gang,( sorry to much british tv) Cute as a bug in a rug, what does one so little eat ?

leah

EEEEEEEE!

Bahahahahha

OMG. The cuteness! The CUTENESS!!!

::head explodes::

Gillian
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 10:05 PM

I am pretty sure that is a (Northern?) diamondback terrapin. Size ranges from about 5"-8". They are pretty cute! Not cuter than a midland painted turtle, though... which i have :)

Laura
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 10:10 PM

Hey Renee - I just hope you all know that teeny widdle turtle-nugget will grow... A LOT. :)

As long as someone in the office is willing to be obbsesive about keeping this lil' guy/gal's habitat up to par I say: good on ye!

So Mary the answer is YES! Almost all species of turtle will grow much bigger tan that, if properly looked after. They need the water and good basking space etc...

ALWAYS wash your hands thourghouly after handling even a teeny turt. :)

Evidently, Laura knows her stuff *KUDOS* :D

Dang, I'm a downer eh.

I sowwies.

 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 10:33 PM

I had a little turtle called Om, but I had to sell him on because I culdn't look after him. I admit it was a dumb thng to do..... :(

darkshines
 |  Mar 29, 2007 at 11:42 PM

That would make such a great desk pet... but how big would it get?

Idiot Celebrities Blog
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 02:31 AM

Oh my goodness, Darkshines- did your little turtle named OM formerly belong to Brutha? If so, congratulations on your good taste and discretion.

cutebabyfix.com
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 04:16 AM

Good eatin', them.

Mmmm, salmonella snacks. Crunchy!

Hathor
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 05:03 AM

Har de har, Hathor. And CBFc. Maybe you've never played with a real baby turtle?

Theo
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 05:07 AM

ICB, if you take really really good care of it, the turtle may someday BE your desk. :)

good old whatshername
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 05:09 AM

No no no, I am not being cruel, it was a small very obscure reference type joke for darkshines from a book called small gods by Terry Pratchett which is about a tiny turtle named OM. That is all. I would love to carry this turtle around on my shoulder all day!

cutebabyfix.com
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 05:13 AM

Always with the Pratchett in-jokes when turtles be showin up on Teh Qte™...
;)

Theo
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 05:21 AM

i was going ask if it was a terrapin. yay!

i love how my dictionary.com widget describes the terrapin this way:

"A small, edible turtle with lozenge-shaped markings on its shell. Found in the coastal marshes of the eastern US."


excuse me? EDIBLE TURTLE? i don't think so. . .not this lil guy.

nadia
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 05:39 AM

You're not actually allowed to own very small turtles in the state where I live :(
My dad claims it's because when he was a child they sold tiny turtles at the 5 and dime, and kids put them in their mouths and there were consequently turtle-related salmonella outbreaks. Stupid boomer kids, keeping me from possesing a teeny turtle!!!!

katherine
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 06:13 AM

PS, teho, I understand congratulations are in order!!!! YAY!!!!!

katherine
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 06:14 AM

When I saw that yesterday, I did a silent squeek and crashed my computer!!

*cling cling cling cling* I WANT ONE. my cats would eat it but still OMG

Allie

I have a 3 year old Mississippi Map Turtle named the Baron who lives in a 55 gallon tank, if you're willing to care for them no matter how big they get they're awesome pets, he took a long time to socialize but I firmly believe they're trainable, and they have tons of personality.

For example, we used to feed him goldfish but one day he started doing the "mating dance" to them, he's had the same little goldfish for a year and spends about 40% of his time trying to mate with them. Also, he has a view of the TV from his tank and he only comes out of the water (onto his rock) when the tv is on, and he points right at it. Way too often to be coincidence.

Surfrock66
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 07:00 AM

That teeny tiny little turtle is adorable! OMG! I'm dying to know that little guy's name.
That picture really cheered me up!

OMG, so adorable. I'm speechless.

Subhangi
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 09:00 AM

Surfrock: the same fish thing happened with my painted turtle, except without the mating "tickling"! I think he just wanted to be friends and keep him around.

ICB: This guy will get btwn 5"-8". 5" is a male, 7.5" is a female.

Tur/tort LOVE! :)

Laura
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 09:26 AM

Laura: The best part is my roommate has a female of the same species, and of course he couldn't even care any less.

Surfrock66
 |  Mar 30, 2007 at 10:01 AM

I just...I can't...why are you doing this to me? First the spa sloth who made me want to break out into hysterical sobs of longing to the tiniest of turties...I just keep coming back for more. I'm going to upload a vid of my box turtle Gus (formerly known as Gwendolyn) eating. They stay cute their whole lives. Little old man faces and prehistoric jaws. Hee.

Awwww!!!! We named our teeny baby turtle Godzilla. He's not as itsy bitsy as this little nugget anymore, but still pretty darn small.

Karen
 |  Mar 31, 2007 at 10:50 AM

Since I've already referred to Pratchett (along with everyone else), I'll refer to another book series.

Spoilers for Brian Jacques' "Rakkety Tam" follow;

*SPOILER WARNING*

*SPOILER WARNING*

Now we see why Gulo the Savage was out ravaging the country, killing looting 'n' burning to get his pet tortoise back.

Oooh! CUTE! I used to have a baby red-eared slider but I had to give it to my cousins because they were more experienced with turtles. I love holding them, they try to swim in the air when you do. xD
