LPS Turtle #008 is olive green with brown and blue eyes. Its shell is dark green with brown and orange spots. Its underbelly is a light cream color. A pink magnet is contained on the bottom of its foot.
==Production==
LPS Turtle #008 was available in 2005 and 2006 in eight different releases. Its first release was as a Pet Pairs set with Turtle #007, which included sunglasses and a food dish that could be opened with the pet's magnet. This set was also part of a Pet Pairs multipack. 
A Portable Pets set was then released with a fabric necklace and aquarium carrying case. The package said, "Carry case for on-the-go fun!" Turtle #008 was also included as a pet in both the Whirl Around Playground's and Little Lovin' Pet Playhouse's bonus packs (see playsets' page for details). Its sixth release was as a Target exclusive Singles pack, and came with a sandcastle, goggles, and cardboard surfboard. 
The pet's seventh appearance was with the 2008 Desktop Calendar; oddly enough, the back of the package shows the image of LPS Turtle #149, despite clearly containing #008. It's possible the calendar had different variations and therefore included different pets. Its final appearance was part of the Littlest Pet Shop Board Game, which also contained Rabbit #003, Shorthair Cat #005, and Boxer #025. 
It is the second of 30 pets to use this mold.

The pet was portrayed as one of the Jumbo Plushies available in 2006.
