Meet Petunia, a red-eared slider, the most common pet turtle.
Turtles are often mistaken as 'Easy Pets'. Nothing could be further from the truth. Unlike puppies, kittens, hampsters, and birds, turtles need more. The links below talk about the many needs to keep a turtle healthy and happy. Below is a video, produced by the Mid Atlantic Turtle and Tortoise Society. It is powerful and completely true. If you are thinking of getting a turtle, it is a must watch and if you currently have a turtle and doubt what the 'experts' say is needed, doubly so.
In the information age, there is no excuse for ignorance. Read, learn, and take good care of your pet... It is never too late!
