I came across a good article about turtles as pets. They can be amazing, but they can also grow very big and live very long.
If you are considering a turtle as a pet you need to know what kind of turtle you are getting. You need to think about whether you can really meet the turtles needs.

The guy with the snapping turtle is lucky his pet is so tame. Those turtles are wild in my area and they are very big as adults. They are not really suitable as pets.
I am sure the turtle is illegally in that country. He has done well to keep the turtle alive and healthy.
I love turtles, but for the most part I love to see them in the wild.
