One of Eli Kamaka’s favorite pets growing up was a pet turtle named Kahuna. He was a box turtle with dark grey and yellow spots and small pink eyes that seemed to protrude out of his head like he was always stunned by the world. Kahuna and Eli were inseparable from the time Eli was age 7. Kahuna lived outside in a large 50 gallon tote, but Eli would take him around the house and play with him while taking regular beach trips. Kahuna loved to swim and hang out in his tote, but was very found of a kiddie pool that Eli got Kahuna for his 15th birthday. That turtle loved to swim in the kidde pool and would soak in it for the entire day basically. His favorite foods were broccoli, lettuce, and eggs! Kahuna would eat eggs for days if you let him. To this day, Eli still takes care of Kahuna and has a regular pet sitter for when he’s on the road.
