I've been wanting a turtle too ever since I pet sat for one. He was so cute, he was a rescued desert tourtise and he only had three legs. He lived in a huge outdoor terrrarium, they live out in the middle of nowhere so they fenced in a big area of desert for him so it would be just like his natural surroundings. He was so cute when he ate, I would give him cactus berries sometimes and the red juice just looked so cute all around his mouth.
