Freaky! I've got a normal one, and people think it's strange enough. You know what's really weird about yours though? It's letting you hold it! Mine goes mental.

i got mine as a hatchling from a guy who didnt want them anymore (i originally got two but the other was in a bad state and died) so they were free, im not too sure about the standard price for them and tbh i havent seen too many in shops.

yea Brain does try to kill you when you handle him/her BUT has the occasional calm moments.

wicked turtle with SO much personallity.

Brain, theres a story behind it...

Basically when i got him/her (for arguments sake lets say he) i was living in halls and had no proper tank but he was better with me than left where he was so i kept him in a large sweet tub for a few months until i got out of halls and got a proper aquarium for him. The sweets were called Brains and were little jelly brains which as a youngster he kind of resembled, naturally when i got the ill now deceased one from the same guy he was named pinky

Crap story i know
