IT’S A TURTLE—NOT A TOY!
You buy a little green turtle with red jellybean patches behind its eyes, a cute “plastic lagoon” bowl with a little palm tree, and a little “turtle food” in a box or bag. Maybe you are “told” that the turtle will grow to fit the bowl and live its life there; maybe that is what you think—after all, the turtle is so small. It is so cute. So trouble-free. An ideal pet for you, your child, your family? Red-eared sliders can live up to thirty years. Only individuals willing to commit time, energy and money should consider a turtle for a pet.
