Sea Turtles?

[Ricardo]

I saw a small sea turtle in an aquarium store for the first time a while ago.

I wonder how involved it would be to set up a tank for one of those?

I assume they have a long lifespan.

I'm not sure where you saw it, when we went to Hawaii, there were signs all over the beach warning people to stay 15 feet away or it would be a FEDERAL offence. They are a protected spieces.

i have never heard of anybody selling sea turtles.
i would agree with onethunder.i think they are protected.

[naldopr]

yes they are!!!

When I saw the thread I was wondering if they were still an endagered species, I'm guessing they are, since they are still a protected species.

Are you sure it was a Sea turtle and not a pond turtle? I find it hard to believe a store was selling it, they still are endangered species.

I doubt it was a sea turtle.

Sea turtle have amazing life span. They can live for more then 400 to 500 years. Suppose you have a turtle as a pet. They your whole generation never need any other pet. Because you will die in almost 70 or 80 years. But your this pet will lives 7 times more than you.
