I’m used to having pets at home because my family is pet lovers. I have kept two turtles since February 2003. I put them all in one tank in my room.

The name of the male turtle is Donatello and the female one is called Rafael It is quite easy to keep them. They can survive  without  food for about two months. However, they need a comfortable place to live. They have to live with imported soil and plants, good water circulation and a piece of dry trunk in the aquarium. Inadequate conditions can cause not only stess but also affect their growth. The worst thing is they may even end in their death!

   The weapon of an adult turtle lies in its edge of the shell. He will use this weapon when he is disturbed while he is taking a nap.

   a. because the turtle might infect you with a certain disease
