Genesis

Charlotte was born sometime in the late spring of 2014 near the Florida Panhandle on the Emerald Coast waters of the Gulf of Mexico. In the few weeks since her existence came to be, she has become an astounding traveler and quite spoiled in the realm of obtaining more than a few new habitats over the first course of transfers from the petstore bedding initially provided. Trust has created an immediate bond between she and her human in that she has learned to eat directly from the hand and has since grown to prefer taking her meals this way. Occasionally she pretends to be shy and skitters off as the food is put to the water, but eventually she comes back and pokes her cute little head out as if to say “okay, I forgot you’re not going to hurt me, may I have that meal now please?”. Surprisingly, the little slider does NOT like strawberries OR bananas. Thus far these are the only two treats she has had an opportunity to sample. Furthermore, the intricacies in the design of this tiny life are the driving motivation for her story to be told. A life which may outperform many of you. Here, you may witness the genesis of a new era, told day by day or week by week from the perspective of one of the oldest living species on planet earth. Methinks we might should pay attention.
