Answer #7

I’ve had red eared sliders for years and found them very interesting pets, but they definitely are not cuddly and really are not something that can be interacted with a lot. They do grow fairly large in time and can live up to 50 years so are a long term commitmet. I found them rather stinky so they needed to be cleaned out a lot. I enjoy the turtles we have, but certainly enjoy other pets that I can interact with more.
