Wild animals, even if they're turtles, aren't really good pets.
Don't tell that to my father. He's had a box turtle living in our house since 1985 (his name is Leslie). By 1989, the turtle had stopped being fed raw vegetables and crickets, and now gets nothing but the finest steamed produce, cooked beef, and the occasional treat of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
He also likes having his neck and the top of his head rubbed. And sitting in laps (he'll nibble at the toes of your shoes if he wants picked up).
All in all, it's really disgusting.
Awww that's not disgusting.. I think it's rather cute actually.
How weird would that be though.. someone not familiar with the house comes over... feels something nibbling their shoe.. look down and it's a turtle wanting to be picked up O_O rofl How cute!
