well i have had many pets over the years about 50 some in counting. turtles,fish,birds,dogs,frogs,spider,etc so i just got some new turtles its not easy taken care of them so my first turtles were box turtles they dont get that big the 2nd 1's got so big about 4 feet i remember i could ride them as a kid.. but then they got stolen (it was kinda a favor we kinda needed to sell them) the others were small but killed all our grass so we sold those and now we have a 4th gerneration of baby turtles i wonder if they get big like the ones in the zoo... anyways i just kinda got bored so yea

Interesting,i got one of the snapping tutles but it got attacked by a raccoon when it ran away..

Good luck with the turlte though and many more!!
