so i kept that turtle that i found sun april 26 it is sooooo cute!!! so my mom loves it but not it's smell...

I had one of those..a baby painter..same size. I found it in the woods with my girls about four years ago (One of my girls was in a foward baby carrier..ya know the kind you put on like a backpack except in the front, she was like 2 months old). So I thought..why not take it home..it is the cutest thing I have ever seen...LOL! So yea...I brought it home and that tiny little thing STUNK up my whole living room!! I changed the dang things water and cleaned the cage like every day..I purchased the most powerful filter I could find...and NO LUCK...so..since my daughters at that time were 2 and a newborn...I could not keep up with it...LOL!! I finally let it go. Kudo's to all of you that keep turtles..I respect your devotion!! Very cute though!!! I am so happy for you that you get to keep it!! That would be cruel for someone to let you raise it for awhile and then make you give it away!! Water snakes...I have been searching for some of those..I live in Minnesota and they are not that abundant..but they do exist here..before I die it is my goal to see all 14 ( I believe it is 14, might be a little less because there is a rattler they say lives here but has not been recorded here in like 100 years..so who knows..lol!) types of snakes!!!
