sorry to hear. this is probably going to happen a lot of stores like dollar general and the dollar store start carrying these guys like some kind of grab and go novelty gift. very similar to the ones you see going to the beaches.

Awe, I'm very sorry to hear that. I'm pretty sure that the employees we aren't trained on how to take care of them or house them properly :( I wish some people would learn the proper way to take care of aquatic turtles...
