Just a memory:
I remember I used to watch this one turtle my high school biology teacher had in the classroom. I think the tank was just 10 gallons but the turtle was at least 6 inches probably. It was a Pleurodira turtle (not a Cryptodira like the RES) is all I know... the water would evaporate to just a few inches and it would just kind of stick its neck real high up and look around and try to climb up the side. It was so sad. He had a bunch of of animals/reptiles that he didn't treat too well. I think the frogs dried out and his pigeons had a pile of **** that looked like a mountain. He treated his snakes better. Oh well. Just sort of a sad memory that came back to me after I got my two little turtles the other day. I wonder what happened to that turtle? I know people would call him to come get snakes out of his yard. I imagine that's where the poor turtle came from (I can't picture him buying it somewhere).
