Just make sure you learn about how to breed them. You have to know everything. Have you read up on breeding turtles?

its not that e-z to breed reptiles, breeding dogs i think seems ezier... u need incubators n stuff, n how would u kno if an egg is fertile or not, n dont they lay lil a bunch at 1 time.

Y add to the turtle population when so many are released into the wild, n not taken for properly, n end up dying fairly young b/c ppl. didnt see how mcuh it takes to handle them.

cuz u cant keep all those turtles that\'d b insane u wouldnt even b able to hav a day job.Even if u screen ppl. their are a few messedup oneds that would throw em in a 10gallon tank, wit an inch of water, n the poor thing is 7inches long.
