Dangers Of Housing Turtles Together

The practice of housing turtles together, often referred to as cohabitation, is a subject that warrants careful consideration by pet owners and enthusiasts. While it may seem convenient or cost-effective to keep multiple turtles in a single enclosure, there are numerous dangers associated with this practice that can compromise the health and well-being of these reptiles. In this article, we will…

I always love when fic writers decide to make Baxia a pet in modern AUs but 99% of the time she's either a dog or a cat and I think there's unutilized potential there. Since Baxia is literally named after a creature described as a giant dragon with a turtle shell, one of the sons of the dragon king, there should be more AUs where she's is a big turtle or tortoise.

Also I think Nie Mingjue would fucking love to have a pet turtle, so someone should give him one.

Nico di Angelo's favorite animal is actually a turtle. When he's in his father's home, he always makes sure to stop by the ponds to see the skeletal turtles

(he once tried stealing one)

I got filled with indescribable rage at a Petco today

Do you see that?

“[Red-Eared Sliders] need a 20 gallon or bigger tank”

*bang head against wall* NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

This is my 5-year old RES in a 40-gallon tank (the filter lid keeps falling off 😭😭😭)

Do you see how massive he is compared to the water you’re able to put in? I’m actually actively trying to rehome him.

I was told when I first got him that a 40-gallon tank filled halfway would be enough to house him for the rest of his life. As a gullible 10-year-old, I believed the pet store guy. As a teenager, I have done research as he rapidly outgrew his tank over the course of 4 years, and found that they actually need 10 gallons of water per inch of shell length (per The Spruce Pets and Animal Medical Center of Corona). They completely neglect to mention that the 20-gallon rule applies ONLY TO HATCHLINGS!!! RESs reach lengths that range from 7-12 inches depending on the sex of the turtle. A 40-gallon, much less 20-gallon tank, will not be nearly enough for that!

What’s even more? Their little “information sheet” has no mention of the fact that RESs can live up to 40 YEARS. That’s kind of an important factoid for would-be owners!

Anyway, rant over. If anyone has advice on how to rehome a red-eared slider, please let me know lol. Dribble (nicknamed goobus snoobus by my friend @aegisthedestroyer) needs a better home.

social media platforms are like "oh you like turtles? look at this persons account with a ton of posts showing their absolutely awful husbandry! their turtle is living a terrible life!"

every medicine or lotion I put on my animals is sauce and everything I put in their food is the sauce, hope that clears things up.

Thinking about Yoshi doing rat stuff and how his uncles feel about that. Like Yoshi is a rat mutant who got mutated when he was about a month old - this kid has zero memories of being human and looking at photos of himself as a newborn makes him feel weird, because in Yoshi's mind he's a rat, not a human.

At first, whenever he acted more like a rat toddler than a human toddler, I think it really worried his uncles. He couldn't talk yet, so they couldn't ask him why he did that and the parenting books they had were no help.

Taling to April wasn't much good either - June may not be entirely human (Utrom/Kraang genetics inherited from April), but she was more or less a normal kid. April had never had to worry about June climbing up walls with her claws, chewing through metal, and had no answers for all the strange noises Yoshi made. It takes them a while to figure out which bruxing means rat nephew is happy and which means he's distressed.

This is a kid who needs new stuff to investigate or he'll get bored and start destroying something. Before he was old enough to entertain himself, the Turtles spent as much time as they could finding things for him to do. This was properly one reason Raph and Casey taught him how to spray paint, as well as how this version of Splinter gets into smithing. Like if he gets bored he can paint something or make another sword! (Ageswap Yoshi has so many knives, it's ridiculous.)

The Turtles have to be careful about introducing new scents into the Lair cause there's a chance it'll confuse Yoshi and his sense of smell won't be able to make up for his terrible eyesight and he'll got lost on his way to the dojo.

The first time the Turtles saw porphyrin coming out of Yoshi's eyes, they pretty much screamed. They thought Yoshi was bleeding out of his eyes and were all in various stages of mental breakdowns thinking Yoshi was deathly ill and they'd failed to look after their nephew. Finding out that hey, it's okay, that's completely normal for him, its not actually blood, had them all either laying on the floor or going off on their own into a quiet room to stare at the wall for a while.

If Yoshi gets stressed out about something, they have to stop him from scratching himself or trying to chew on his own tail.

This kid has no poker face at all. His ears and whiskers are always giving him away, which is great for them knowing when he's lying, but terrible for being a ninja. This also gets really frustrating for him, because there are times when you don't want everyone to know how you're feeling, but those things give him away. Yoshi can forget about being upset without everyone knowing - he tries to compensate by pulling his hood up on bad days, but that kinda just lets everyone know he's upset and doesn't want to talk about it.

Just the Turtles and their very much a rat mutant nephew, who doesn't feel ashamed of being a rat, so doesn't bother hiding the ratty part of his nature
