used to have a turtle, a little quarter sized one that got about 5 inches before i had to get rid of it because that whole under 3 inches thing. i just dropped it at my lfs, and the manager kept him.
i'd say water turtles are funner, set up a freshwater tank and put a snake necked turtle in it... they're really cool and eat goldfish
Well we are talking about his little sister so the advice is NEEDED. What you do with your snakes is your deal.
I will always advise people that handle any animal to wash their hands. Common Sense prevails.
