George and Avalena

When I got home, the seller called me (I just got home like for 5 minutes) and told me that the Istar babies have come to the mall and ready to be sold

I was shocked and little bit upset because I just got home, so it's impossible for me to go back to the mall and choose them

So I told the seller to pick the one that is good and healthy and ready to be my pet, and he said okay and he will mark it and keep it for me

Again, I can't wait for tomorrow

The next morning, I woke up and quickly get ready to go to the mall and choose my pet

By the time I get there, there were only a few Istar (like 10 or 12 I forgot) and they are small like 4cm - 5cm (of course, they are babies)

I asked the seller which one is good for my pet, and he had marked some of the turtles which are good so I can choose between them

First one that he recommended is this one

 It has a nice marking, not too light and not too dark and it's clear marking so it is eye catchy

Its body is red (brownish red), not usual like other Istar with yellow color of body

and it is adorable

When I saw it, I fell in love with her

I love her face and her marking so I decided to take her with me (yes, she is female - based on what the seller said by looking it's tail, well, I don't know the different and I can't tell)

I named her George, based on my nickname on World of Warcraft (yeah, girl with nickname George, problem? :D )

 She cost me $50 and I said, it's okay, I ever saw the one with higher price

I went to the ATM to take my money and pay the seller

And, you know how a good seller behave, he offered me another one with cheaper price.

So instead of buying $50 for 1 turtle, he offered me to pay $85 for 2 turtles.

It's so tempted because usually, I can only get 1 Istar at that price but now I can have 2.

I don't want George to be alone so I decided to choose another one for her friend

And choice fell to Avalena

She has a yellow color body (not like George) and a High Dome (like a higher dome compared to George) carapace

Her marking (yes, she is a female too) is good with big lines so you can see the mark clearly

Well, I admit it that she is not as Gorgeous as George but one thing I like from her so I chose her instead of others

When I was looking for the perfect one, I hold her on my hands, looking at her mark and face ( I love turtle with a moron face..so cute)

She suddenly poo in my hand, I was like, WTH with this turtle.. She poo on my hand, how dare she is

Because of that, I chose her as George's friend and she is adorable too

So, that's the story how can I got both of them as my lovely pet right now

They are so adorable and cute (cuteness level over 9000)
