1 Oh, John. No offense my friend, but that's nastier than watching Pamela Anderson bounce up and down.

2 But isn't the little guy cute? Hardly bigger than a half-dollar coin (that's why I scratched his shell at the end of the clip -- for scale). We hand-feed him fish flakes and slices of strawberry. We've never had a reptilian pet before, and this guy has at least as much personality as a bird. He's 1.5 years old and should live for another 100 years or so.

3 He'd be cuter if he was eating fish flakes. Sorry

4 very samll but looks very strong.

5 That is the coolest. thing. ever. I have always wanted a turtle; what's it like being a turtle owner?

6 Sarah - glad you liked it. Being a turtle owner is easy so far. We place him in a separate container once a month and thoroughly clean the gravel bed in his cage (rinse, bleach, neutralizer). We mist him a couple times a day, clean his water dish daily, feed him every day or so (worms every few days, fish flakes and fruits or vegetables in between). He needs a special UV bulb that cost about $30 but otherwise he has been one of the cheapest pets we've ever had. And he has lots of personality, for a reptile.
