The Arrival Of Two New Turtles In My House

My mother's friend met a person in Ancol who didn't want to keep their turtles anymore, and they wanted to release their turtles in a swamp in Ancol. Of course their turtles cannot survive in the swamp because they are used to being fed and it means that they cannot find their own food. Those two turtles are bigger than my three turtles. My mother's friend asked my mother if I wanted to adopt them and I said yes, because my mother's friend doesn't like the look of their head; they look like snakes. Of course they looked like snakes because they're reptiles, the same like the turtles. I named the biggest one Novie, because she came on November, and the smaller one Emma.

 

From those turtles, I can learn that they have different personalities.

Sam / Samantha: kind, cheerful, friendly, and doesn't like to attack other turtles.
Sol / Solann : likes to attack, has difficulties in making friends, and fierce.                                    
                                                                                                                                                      means sunshine but rarely used.    

At first I thought that those two turtles are male, so I named both of them male names (except Sol, because she's naughty, and I just gave her a not really good name that popped the first into my mind ).

Rainy: likes to play, and can spot things easily.
    
She arrived at my house when it was raining. I adopt it from school, because my school only gave her a small aquarium to live in and with a small space like that she cannot grow well.

Novie: always stays cool and calm, and has no difficulties in making friends.                                                    
Emma: always feels shy with new turtles. While the other turtles play (of course without Sol ), she'll stay alone in the corner. If she's with Novie,she's fine, but with Sam, Sol, and Rainy, she's still shy, although it's less now.

Even if they're the same species, my mom and I noticed that Sam, Emma, and Rainy have slanted eyes, while Novie and Sol have round eyes.
