Marshes and ponds, I suppose. But this one is an aquarium turtle. After we got him, he wanted out of his aquarium and started to roam the place. Whenever he wants to be placed in water, he'll try to get into the sink! (Mission Impossible IV!!!!!) But he's very perseverent, and won't stop until one of us gets annoyed (he falls down with a loud BANG! that can be quite irritating if going on for too long) and gives him what he wants. That's how he "opens" any door he wants and gets his little tail wherever his hart desires. I can't belive how smart, expressive and loving he is (his brain must be smaller than a pea, but when he looks at you with that LOVING look!....OMG!)
