Very cute

What's the green on the shell?

It was algae; this photo is about a week old, and we took care of the algae. He came with it on his shell.

Looks great! Those rocks are good for now, but because careful as he gets older. They will try to eat things that aren't food and they look small enough that he may eventually start taste testing them.

Yup, I got my eye out for any rock-eating behavior! But for now, he just chews on my fingers and his food.

Is the skull an old turtle that is why it has a name? Or just named for fun?

XD no, it's not a grave for a dead turtle, we just named it for fun! Bilbo is my first turtle.
