[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 694260, member: 19522"] My work friend has two turtles. One is about 50 pounds! They eat lettuce and hibiscus flowers. She also said that in order to relieve themselves, they have to be in water....... There is some info on the web. Of concern is this warning "The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says: [URL='http://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/pets/reptiles/turtles.html']Do not have a turtle[/URL] in any household that includes children under five, the elderly, or people who have lowered natural resistance to disease due to pregnancy, cancer, chemotherapy, organ transplants, diabetes, liver problems or other diseases." [URL]http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/exotic_pets/facts/thinking_of_getting_turtle_012609.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/[/URL] That being written, wash your hands well! They are fascinating aren't they? Maybe this is a sign to slow down.......;) Good luck with Mr./Mrs Tortoise? Turtle? Leafy [/QUOTE]
