Anyone have a turtle? (1 Viewer)

[Rohn Jambo]

2.5 year olds don't need their own pets IMO.

We all know fantasycurse42's wife will end up taking care of it.

For 2 1/2, I say go with sea monkeys. He'll love the way the "powder" comes to life.

True story that my mom likes to tell:

When I was about 5 my parents got me a dime store turtle. I think it lived for about a month.

My mom gave me a little box and a hand trowel and told me to bury it on the side yard. So I did.

But anytime somebody came over to the house I would take them to the side yard and dig up turtle to show them.

My mom thinks that is hilarious that I got more enjoyment out of the turtle after it died.

It's probably because I got massive erection every time I dug up the dead turtle.

Did the same thing with my hermit crab. Buried him in a plastic bag. Would dig him up every few months to show people. No erection though....

I've got two red-eared sliders. They're mean, you can't take them out of their tank without risking getting bitten. Even with a good filter the water gets dirty. Just about any other aquatic creature you put in with them will become dinner. They start off cute and small but now are each the size of a small plate. And they can live a very long time.

Go for it!

Gerbil is definitely not set and forget. PITA to clean their cages. Plus some of them are professional escape artists.

What about a hermit crap. Cheap, easy to care for, can jazz his shell up or have options and your son will have something to watch.

Gerbils are a piece of cake. Take them out of the cage, put them in a box. Dump all the old filler out of the cage. Put in new filler. Walla.Hermit crabs are crappy pets. They're nocturnal by nature and die quickly.

Yeah, hermit crabs blow. Gerbils are okay if you just get two and they are of the same sex. I had bought two gerbils once. They had babies and the father ate some. Then the adults were separated. The babies eventually grew up and had sex with their parents. I had a pet rat once. It was great.

Hamsters are fine.

I like box turtles. They are easy to care for. Water turtles are a pain and not appropriate for a toddler.

I dropped a turtle in a tub once after it pissed on my hand. I think it ended up dying. Landed on it's shell IIRC.

Maybe keep it away from tubs, or heights, or both. And have it not piss on people. Should be fine.

you could try to catch that lion that is roaming around in baltimore brohan

Horrible. A little piss never hurt anyone.

Now there is a lion running around loose? That is great. I hope it kills some rioters before it gets shot to death.

[SaintsInDome2006]

Looking to buy my son a low maintenance pet... Thought a turtle would work, any feedback on turtles? He is 2.5 FTR.

Buy? Why buy one? Go catch one.

Yeah, probably best you didn't. Turtles are known to be the perverts of the reptile kingdom.

You don't want to subject a young kid to the horrors of witnessing this or this, do you?

Well? Do you!?

Maybe someone has to feed their lion?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

a tortoise is a better option. Turtles require water. I would recommend a Russian Tortoise. Very easy maintenance and you can take him out and let him walk around the yard.

They are way too loud.

 

[bagger]

They also can live for like 40 years.

lmfao...he can give it to his son when he is 2. the gift that keeps giving.
