I am here to announce that my red-ear slider, David, had been pronounced dead. He was named Godzilla last week with the belief that it will start growing as big as its buddy, Goliath. It hasn’t been eating for about a month and it seems like it was sick. Weak, vulnerable and anti-social, it had finally leaved its sadness and sorrows behind. When we first got it, it was the monster. Ripping live prawns into shreds and accidentally biting Goliath’s hand. I thought it was abusing its power, as it was stronger back then. Unfortunately, David did not kill the giant Goliath, as it goes in the bible story.

No, I wasn’t trying to make my terrapins fight. I just happen to name them David and Goliath. I’m guessing Goliath is female so it grew big faster. It’s a giant, compared to David.
