Anyone Know Anything About Turtles
A neighbor across the street from me found a turtle about
a week ago. He said he didn't want to keep it as a pet or anything, but was afraid it would be run over by a passing car,
so he's been keeping it in an old fish tank on his front porch.
I noticed the tank from my front porch the other day & thought
it was a gerbil or hamster. I went over to ask him about it & he
told me how he found it walking down the sidewalk.(the turtle).
Anyhow, the turtle has a flat shaped shell & red & black strips
on it's underside. He said it might be a "pippen".:confused: He's
feeding it bread and baloney. I 'm thinking about asking him to
let me have it & then releasing the turtle in one of our state
parks. It really bothers me to see it in this tank day after day.:(

If for some reason he doesn't let you have it, please tell him to feed the turtle Veg. and more natural things. Not a sandwich,
It's a turtle not a kid. LOL And have him fill the bottom of the tank with sand so the turtle can dig.
But my hope is he lets you have him and you will do whats right for the turtle.
