Tortuga (Tortu) and Cheripaxa (Cheri)
These guys are our resident greeter turtles. Dr. Lindquist acquired them in 1994 after a WEZAM(Wild, Exotic, and Zoo Animal Medicine) conference that the UW-Madison hosted. They are believed to be Melanistic Sliders. Tortu is the friendly one and would gladly follow you around for a walk. Cheri is a bit shy but warms up to you pretty quickly!
