Question

I love turtles(龟), but I haven't cared for them well. So please read the following before deciding on buying one.

You don't have enough room. Turtles need a lot of room to live happily. But this doesn't mean you should let them play freely across your house.

You can't give your turtle enough food. Most turtles eat both meat and plants. Whatever you do, don't think you can feed your pet the only food from a pet store, which is a death sentence(死刑)．

If you own a dog or a cat, don't risk buying the turtle unless you can keep them 100% separate(分开的)! One day, my dog ate a box turtle and about a month later the dog died. I've read that many box turtles carry toxins(毒素) in their bodies.

You can't offer right temperature. Once, I bought a turtle that was not put into a box. It died a few days later. In fact, the box can give it a good temperature.

You want an expensive pet for a status(身份) symbol. This may be the worst reason to buy a turtle. It means your heart is not on it, and you will not be taking all the steps necessary to care for the pet.

You will find different information in some books. You need to read more books to begin to understand the high level of care needed.
