[UndeadSquidy]

I like turtles but the diseases are bleh :/

[Lavos2007]

@UndeadSquidy reptiles dont get many diseases. and the biggest one is Salmonella which is prety rare in reptiles, you have a much higher chance of getting it from eating chicken

[tacomonster98]

I wonder if box turtles are like the link between turtles and tortoises, since the BT shell looks like a tortoies but the legs/feet are more like aquatic turtles, hmmmm

[KrionStudio]

do tortoises bite like aquatics do? I have aquatics and they get pretty mean when I bother them too much

[Nargaz]

@KrionStudio Most tortoises have no teeth, thus their bites are like being pinched.

[TheTortDude95]

that looks like a tort... anyone know where i can find one?

[MuslimNinjaAssassin]

Agreed with you on that part.

[jerry3one6]

[Jovian84]

[MuslimNinjaAssassin]

Only one thing about that.... Since they are endangered Turtle in the American you may need a license to keep one. this is in the state of Indiana. I found one this year.... and did some so, now am going box turtle hunting(keeping)t them alive and looking at them and filming them maybe doing things with it. Take it home wight it do the whole 9 yards with it. Re least it.

[homeostasis4me]

@MuslimNinjaAssassin They are not threatened nor endangered, dude. They are VERY common....just go for a drive and see for yourself.

[BrianEdwinBaker]
