My turn
Alex wants a turtle for his bday. We were all set to buy a kind of a box turtle called an ornate wood turtle but the people at the pet store told us we need a minimum of a 40 gallon aquarium plus heating pad, heating lamp and a special night lamp (or something). By the time we added up the cost it was ~$350 (so Alex is NOT getting it right now!). Does this all sound right to you? What do people with turtles DO when they go out of town for a week? Do people have to...board their turtles with the vet?
Can you make a diff. turtle suggestion? DH doesn't want to do a water turtle because of Salmonella...........
