What’s up with pet turtles anyway? Can’t really pet them or brush their fur. Get close they pull in their head and legs, take him for walk up & down the driveway takes all evening.
And he’s a cold-blooded killer.

My MIL had a pet turtle (ok, tortoise). It outlived her. We rehomed it at an animal sanctuary because Mrs R feared that a gator would get it if we just released it in a wild pond or bayou.

Yeah, but if you really can't stand having a pet die on, the big ones will likely outlive you. Then it will be the Executor's problem.
