>>well i am against taking wild turtles out of the wild >>_nate

Im not against taking turtles out of the wild. Im against supporting people that sell hatchling turtles on the street corner. Im against people owning turtles that have no idea what they need or even what they eat.

If people would take the time to observe turtles in the wild and realize they live in large bodies of water, perhaps they would understand that a 20 gallon tank inst sufficient.

I am against people taking reptiles from the wild to sell them. But for my own personal pet, I will always go to the wild rather than the pet store.

I spent over $500 the first year on my wc turtle. I think people see a $5 or $10 turtle as a cheap pet. They dont realize that it will cost hundreds of dollars (or a lot of ingenuity) to maintain them properly.

I know I post some angry posts here sometimes, but it really irritates me to see so many people say- I bought a turtle in the city- what does it eat? or I bought my kid a turtle- how do we take care of it?
