[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 694266, member: 19522"] Ugh, the "elderly" word........age is just a number. Anyway. The turtles are kept outside but in the cooler winter months, in the house with a little heater on (yes it is too cool for them even in Hawaii, I guess?) If I were you, I would give him to my friend. Too much [I]maintenance. [/I]I have so much on my plate taking care of another animal just would not do. I have dogs and they have a [I]job[/I] to warn us that strangers are near. I have cats who catch vermin and chickens who lay eggs. My animals work for their food....lol. My kids had a jackson chameleon once and that was a lot of work catching crickets and bugs for him to eat. It was cool for awhile, but the novelty ended as soon as the kids realized what a chore it was. I would probably call the Humane Society, or even try the Turtle Society. But that is me. If you have bonded with this turtle, it is not impossible to keep him in your yard. Then there is that kismet factor of who the heck swerves to avoid a rock and it is a [I]turtle[/I]? Hmmmmm. I guess an understanding of what kind of turtle it is, how big it will get and just what care it needs, then a pros and cons list will help you decide. Turtles, they are so cool. This is a tough one..... Leafy [/QUOTE]
