So I have noticed that there is a huge difference between turtle people and other reptile owners. You have all seen the snake owner with tattoos and piercings. Most reptile shops and owners only have snakes lizards and spiders. They all kind of fit into the look at me I'm different for having this pet category. Now I would love to own a snake and lizard, I even one day want to be a herpetologist. But turtle people seem to be more down to Earth. I think that it takes some understanding to enjoy turtles. As animals go, from looking at them turtles seem dull and boring to others. But I think that we can see the beauty in small things and appreciate the huge yet oddly subtle personalities that these anapsids have.
