July 16th, 2019 : Albino Wood Turtles Quote:
This bothers me. Albinos whether 2 legged, 4 legged, or no legged, have a tough row to hoe. Life is extra difficult for those Mother Nature handicapped with Albinism. These people are deliberately breeding them, over a dozen different kinds. Why, for money of course. I didn’t see any prices but would guess they’re being sold as rare and exotic pets. Turtles live a long time so when Jody and Buffy go off to college Mom gets to care for them... or turn them loose. Bad juju. Oh, and they ship fedex overnight, that's enough to make me walk away, but that's because fedex has screwed me repeatedly. Wednesday they were screwing someone else by leaving their box on my porch. I let them know and they came for it Saturday afternoon. If your turtle doesn't arrive alive, they'll replace it free. I should hope so. But you have to pay shipping... What? link Diaphone Jim Tuesday Jul 16 12:57 PM Baby turtles were once common prizes at carnivals and such. Clodfobble Tuesday Jul 16 02:34 PM I always wondered about that--the exotic pet store used to have turtles for sale, but with a big sign that said they were only for scientific research and educational purposes. xoxoxoBruce Wednesday Jul 17 12:01 AM Educational is pretty broad. Come to think of it so is Scientific Research.
