Turtle 5

I got a red-eared slider for my 10th birthday, A week later I was cleaning out my tank, set him out side and he died. : ( a hard lesson for a 10 year old to learn.

Overall, I think it depends on what kind you get. Aquatic or Land.
Aquatic turtles are cool, but a lot more work. The kind of work you would put into a well-maintained fish tank.
Land Turtles are easier, but space can become a problem. For those of you here who remember the 70s and the bowl full of turtles...BAD IDEA!! You are just begging for salmonella, a problem that is ALMOST -not completely- non-existent with proper husbandry.

Additional problems: turtles can live a long time and can be illegal in some places.

If you can over come these problems, turtles make fascinating and rewarding pets.

I had quite a few turtles in my day from the time I was a kid. They were one of my first pets so I always loved them. I've raised them from very tiny babies to get pretty big at home but then I gave them to a zoo because I thought it was cruel to keep them indoors in a tank.

Bought a pair of small Red Eared Sliders when my kids were relatively young.  Unfortunately, the little buggers grow pretty quickly, and we wound up, ultimately with a very large tank for them.  One died, and the other grew to the size of a dinner plate before succumbing to some turtle disease.

When they get big, the cuteness factor wears off pretty quickly.  They bite, if you give them a chance, and can take a fair chunk out of you.  Their tank gets filthy quickly, and can overwhelm a normal filtration system with ease. 

On a final note, CS observes that they won't fetch.  They are, however, quite aerodynamic if you toss them like a frisbee.
