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.

pretty fun..I like tortoises better cause you can actually pet them and they are more friendly
Lena 07/15/2008
I think they're pretty to look at. Another pet that falls into the category of cool if its not mine to take care of.

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.

is it a snapping turtle??

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.

That would be kinda sweet, but they'd be a bit boring.
CanadaSucks 06/25/2008
