Neal said:Honestly, as a turtle/tortoise hobbyist I would think it would be kind of cool and informative to dissect an already dead turtle/tortoise. I can see pictures all day long, but to see things with my own eyes does a lot more for my education.
I second that, if given the chance to dissect an already deceased turtle I would love to do it, see internal scutes and everything, but wild or domestic my heart beats for turtles/tortoises, I love em, I couldnt take ones life for sake of education, no.. I dont feel that way for cats or rats or even a dog but do for chelonians, all species
