Thanks for sharing that information so my readers can factor that in when they consider what pet to get for their child.

They don’t take well to handling (and in fact can carry disease), plus they need a very big and complicated enclosure (with regular maintenance for turtles as they’re very messy) and they can live for 3-5 *decades* on average, making them a very long-term commitment!
