Sadly, the friend I was going to get the turtle from backed out.
Turtles are delightful pets - fun to watch, rarely bite, and don't hate you when you decide to just throw them some food and move along with your day.
Aquatic turtles tend to get smelly fast if you're not that into cleaning their space.
Russian tortoises are small ~10" at maturity - but they do live up to 40 years and they get attached to their owners. A childhood friend of mine adopted his grandfather's Russian tortoise after his grandfather passed away - it was quite special to him.
