Just for reference, turtles are mostly aquatic, and tortoises are land-dwelling. I learned that because.. well I got tired of not knowing which was which!! Hehe. But yeah that's a HUGE Alligator Snapping Turtle!! They get huuuge!!

I used to own some Red Eared Sliders but gave them away because they outgrew their tank way too fast and I couldn't keep up with them, and it was unfair of me to keep them in a small tank. I've also owned numerous random tortoises. The one I really want is either a Greek or Russian tortoise. They're soo cute!! ♥
