Tortoise/turtle thread. I start off with a Galápagos tortoise. pic not mine.
I love tortoises. Too bad I can't buy them in my state, not sure if I can own one either.

I used to go in the swamp and bring home huge snapping turtles. Nasty bitches.

Which state do you live in, OP?

I'm in California, and we have a lot of weird animal bans. Off the top of my head I know we can't have ferrets, gerbils, or Chinese hamsters.

NJ.
I've seen them in pet stores before, but they were for 'research only'. I think turtles/tortoises is the only real animal ban, that and skunks. I know a shit ton of other people who own turtles but they were all wild-caught.

lol hamsters? that sucks ass. rodents are awesome pets.
i wish they didn't ban the prairie dog from being owned. stupid monkey pox.

Yeah, but only the Chinese hamsters. We can have the other three types. I think there's probably a few reptile bans too. Now I'm curious and want to look it up.

>damn tortoise orgy

they get VERY noisy, if you know what I mean... My grandparents had three of them and I can't even begin to imagine what 60 of them must sound like if they go at it simultaneously.

I love turtles, especially the Snapper and Leatherback kinds. In fact I found a baby Alligator Snapper in the middle of a highway; poor little guy would've been roadkill. He was a sweetheart, but I couldn't keep him so I let him go at a nearby pond.

You can own a turtles and tortoises in NJ, but I think you need to purchase a permit first.
