Did you know that turtle enjoys massage just like human?
Our massage is a bit different to human. We used the easiest and cheapest massage tool in the world…our water filter!!!
Mommy noticed that Kroten and Kame (R.I.P) used to love clinging to their basking area and let the water from their water filter hit their back. She thought it was nothing special….and maybe all bigger turtle did it.
…but!!!
I can tell you that NOT only bigger turtle enjoyed the cheap water massage…this little me also enjoys it

The water sprouting out of the filter
I hope the photo can give you a glimpse of how strong the water current from the filter is.
This next photo, I think, can give you a better perspective
When I feel that the current is too strong, I move a way a bit and still enjoy that refreshing massage
I consider this as a good mischief












gotta tell ya…years ago when I was a lifeguard there were water jets that shot out into the pool. EVERYONE used to use it as a back massager (among other things that we won’t mention here) lol ….
Eh?? what other things? You made me curious Aunt Caren
Hey Paope,
You learn super fast buddy!! That looks great!! Do you have to hold on really tight?
Enjoy your massage
Your pal Snoopy
Not really Snoopy
I have good claw, all I need to do is use my tiny claw among the ramps
I sure am enjoying it
Have fun Snoopy
Hang on, Papoe! Don’t get washed away! But I guess if you did, you really wouldn’t end up getting lost or anything, like what might happen in a strong river current.
Yup!! That’s the benefit of living in a tank
Be careful Papoe! You’re still a little turtle, climb if the water sprouting too hard!
Don’t worry Donna…I am a great climber
Good, good! Keep at it babies… nothing like a good dose of mischief.
Thank you for the support aunty Debo
