I am sorry to say that I like turtle as a food and not as a pet. There are two type of turtles in my place. One has white color in the below part whic touches ground and named as white turtles. Anotehr type has black color in the down part and known as black turtles. We have a belief that if you keep a turlte in your house, it will increase the life expectancy of people at home. So, keep the turtle and live for a long time.

You eat turtle? Awww that saddens me. I think they're too cute to get eaten. Cause.. Well they do look quite innocent and kind. LOL. I won't have the heart to eat them but I'm curious how they taste like.

Wow,so surprise me!you eat turtle?...maybe i think there are several kind of turtles in your country and some can be eaten legally...but you know the animals are our friend and in a sence we should protect them in stead of eat them...they are innocent and cute...

I agree with you jimmysun, i'm also a pet lover and aquatic pets are my favorite to0 tame such as fish and turtles. I also have a turtle at home i keep them as pet not food but no offense in my own opinion turtles are not comfortable to eat coz their kinda cool creature specially the red eardslider their beautiful.

I had one of those when I was a kid. It's true that turtle is a good pet. But it actually requires hard work, patience and time to enjoy the companionship. Turtles can live for a long a time so it's a big commitment once you get it. Sadly I didn't really like my turtle. I was a kid! My pet was quiet and boring! annd slow. LOL. I gave it back to where I bought it. Somehow I believe with some hard work and a lot of affection, turtles can make perfect pets! Happy mylotting, jimmysun! :)

Hello,jimmysun! I have two little turtles--a female one and a male one:) and i love them. I bought them about 3 months ago. Hoping they can grow bigger quickly and can give birth to a little baby. But now I have a problem that, the male one--as i call it "Taylor", seem to have some rot in its head for some days. Well,I am not sure if you can understand(My english is poor).So, could you please tell me how to treat Taylor? is isolation from the other one necessary? Thank you ,have a good day!

Turtles are a very nice pet indeed. They do require a lot of care. Well, the turtle itself is actually easy to care for but you really have to maintain the habitat that you keep him in. They are very beautiful creatures and are pretty to look at. Turtles just seem to have a look of wisdom about them. Do you have a name for your pet turtle?

Yes, I love to have turtle as pet. I want those getting big. But my bf didn't agree with me, he don't want me to have turtle. I think he has belief that turtle has some jinks. Do you believe in it?

I love turtles!! They're sooo cute, they snap, and they bite!! Hehehe... Just joking!! We had a turtle once... its name was Turtie... and man, Turtie grew!!! He really grew heavy!! We had the little thing for 4 years, and then we moved someplace else and couldn't take him with us because the airline company was sooo fussy about bringing a turtle on board the plane!! Ugh! So we had to leave Turtie behind with a friend, and I haven't seen him since!! Huhuh! (sob, sob, sob). Turtles make wonderful pets... they live long, and they're not fussy!!! Hehehe... and you don't have to take them out for walks!! Oh, but our Turtie was pretty fast on his tiny feet! He could DART at 80 miles per hour!!! Well, not really, but he was pretty fast!! Makes me wonder how he did that!! Hahaha... and turtles, well, they can live on fish food for 4 years and not complain about it!! Wonderful!!! You just have to clean their tank, hmm... every month, since it gets kinda stinky and dirty, and then! that's the time that you get a little snap, or a little bite... Hehehe... They love to bite!! Our Turtie nearly bit my brother's tongue off!!! Hahaha! You can bet he never kissed our Turtie again! never!!! Hmmm... I'm even thinking of getting another turtle here... Hehehe... Have a wonderful day!!! =)
