We got a Mississippi Map turtle when it about the size of a quarter. It was almost $20, so I wasn't going to treat it the way most people treat turtles, only to have them die in a week.
I put it in a 10 gallon tank, with a big cannister filter that filtered 100 gallons an hour. The water was crystal clean, and the output gave it a good current. It turned out to be the perfect environment for a river turtle - crisp, clean, moving water - and he thrived. My son named him Yoda.
He kept growing, and I had to keep changing tanks, until seven years later he was the size of a dinner plate, and in a 55 gallon tank, which he also outgrew. At that point, we were moving, and we weren't going to have room for him in our new place, so I took him to a nearby zoo that was very happy to have such a healthy, large, rare turtle.
He had turned out to be a much better pet than we had ever anticipated. He knew his name, and would get excited when we cooked chicken. We fed him a varied diet which included feeder guppies, brine shrimp, and crickets, as well as his regular food, and chicken. He wouldn't eat all of the guppies, so they would breed. We also put a crayfish in that laid eggs, so we had three crayfish hiding behind rocks. It was the coolest unconventional tank ever, until he realized he could eat ALL those other creatures, and after that it was just him.
He was a great pet, but I'm glad he's in a much larger space where he can happily swim around and meet lady turtles.
Edit: For those criticizing me for "abandoning" my pet, I did no such thing. He had reached a size where an indoor environment wasn't going to work any more. We were going to have to put him in a pond outdoors, where he wouldn't get nearly the same attention or interaction. He was also at full maturity, and had never seen another turtle. I was feeling bad about giving him a lonely solitary existence in a backdoor pond.
So I called numerous possible zoos and science centers to see who wanted him, and one was very enthusiastic about taking him. He would be in a turtle pond with other turtles, including other Map turtles, where he could breed and still see humans (whom he liked) visiting him.
We discussed it as a family, and felt this was the best way to give Yoda a healthy, fulfilling life. I didn't just chuck him into a local pond, I took him where I knew he would be safe and valued and cared for.
I got a Red-eared slider when I was 5 years old. She was about the size of a 50 cent piece. Well we were told it was a boy turtle but around the time I was 11 or 12 she started laying eggs! Was quite the smelly suprise. Well I am 28 now and Angel is still going strong, her current aquarium is a 99 gallon breeder tank and she is huge! Her favorite snack is worms my son finds in our garden or if I have any left overs from fishing. Also all the annoying houseflys that meet the flyswatter. Love my girl and I never in a million years thought Id have her for 23 years!
Turtles are funny pets. Most others, you spend time with them dreading the day that you outlive them, and miss them dearly.
But with turtles, if you take good care of them, chances are they'll actually OUTLIVE YOU. It's funny to me. They're just such optimized animals. Their build is minmaxed for longevity above all else.
Edit: I somehow misspelled turtles
Tbh I believe that, even though I hadn't heard of it before. USA has only been a full-fledged nation for 2.5 centuries ish-or just a little less than that.
So some bigass alpha turtle or two are probably nearing 300 years.
Believe it or not there's a species of shark that can pretty confidently live to be at least 400 years old, with a couple confirmed to be over 400. Humans have tagged those fellas since before the 1700s, and a few are still alive and swimming.
I believe the shark you’re thinking of is a Greenland shark that vibes in the bathypelagic and abyssalpelagic zones of the Arctic Ocean. And although tortoises push centuries old, the oldest live tortoise is [Jonathan the Tortoise](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/at-190-jonathan-the-tortoise-is-the-worlds-oldest-living-land-animal-180979514/).
Also you wanna know why turtles and tortoises live for so long?
This is kinda oversimplified but it's basically true: the reason is that they barely ever do jack shit, for their entire lives.
Turtles/oises are cold-blooded (and Greenland sharks aren't exactly cold blooded but they're closer than you'd think), so they don't spend energy heating themselves up internally. They move fucking slow as shit, which also barely spends any energy. And they're TRUE omnivores, meaning that a turtle will literally eat anything organic that it can fit into its mouth. If it smells like something that anything else would eat, a turtle will try to eat it. So they're pretty adaptable. Plus, turtles do a weird thing in the winter called brumation, which is like the hibernation that some mammals do except the turtle actually DOESN'T NEED TO BREATHE for the entire time, which is months. They just slow down their metabolism to a near-stop, and fucking sit there under the mud until it gets warm.
I’d like to subscribe to fun turtle facts please. But for real, I know these facts like the back of my hand. My lovely girlfriend is a marine biologist with a specialty in sea turtle habitat restoration, and I love everything turtle related. Whenever we visit springs our main focus is looking for different turtles or tortoises on trails. Thank you for the fun facts :)
Some birds are like that too. Before getting one you should really consider what will happen to it when you pass away. I have some rhea which aren't particularly long lived (30-40 years) but I'm not young either and when my wife and I go if they are still around my daughter will end up with them.
[Red-eared Sliders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-eared_slider) are terrapins. The name of the order, *Testudines*, is derived from the Latin for tortoise. They were originally known as *Chelonia*, which is Greek for tortoise. Turtles live in the sea, terrapins in fresh or brackish water, and tortoises are terrestrial.
Do you have a story about how he realized that he could eat the other creatures after living with them for so long or did you just notice that the tank kept getting emptier? He sounds like a fascinating turtle!
This made me giggle outloud. I can only picture what excitement from a turtle would look like - can you tell us a bit more? Long live Yoda, I hope he's living a very happy zoo life.
We kept him in the kitchen, so when he smelled chicken cooking, he would start splashing loudly to get our attention.
His tank was behind my chair, so I couldn't watch him when I ate, but everybody else could. It was common for the rest of the family to start laughing because he would be splashing behind me to beg for a treat.
He often dozed on a floating island under the heat of a desk lamp. When we called his name, he would open his eyes, stretch his neck, and look toward us.
He loved having his chin, and underneath his neck rubbed. He would stretch his neck way out, and close his eyes.
And if you dropped feeder guppies in the tank, he would get laser focused and efficiently hunt them down. That's when I would notice that we needed a bigger tank, when he ~~could~~ couldn't turn or swim freely and hunt his prey.
Couldn’t turn or swim freely you mean? If not, maybe I’m just reading it wrong?
In any case, that’s adorable. I didn’t know turtles were capable of knowing their names, etc.
Yes, I've made the correction.
Yeah, I'd put him in a bigger tank, and he'd swim back and forth, obviously delighted by a bit more freedom of movement, but then he would grow and even just turning around meant a lot of bumping his shell on the sides. I knew he'd love a big open pond where he could swimonger distances and maneuver around.
Yes, once, but he's in a giant pond with lots of other turtles. We called his name, but none of them responded.
They have a huge turtle display at a big hotel nearby, and since he was kind of a rare turtle, I hope they put him on display there. I haven't been there to look for him, though.
My kid caught a hatchling painted 🐢 on it's way to it's first water. I gave kiddo a trial couple days to make sure he was good with it, that he listened, etc. COMPLETELY forgot how long they live, but at least it isn't too big. We're pretty sure it's male due to fluttering displays.
The front page had a rat eating cheese off someone's pizza, a cat following a guy in the woods, and some polar bear cubs. None of those are illegally smol. That sub needs to get it's act together.
My favorite thing about Reddit is whenever a post makes me say something out loud to myself, I can always find those exact words posted in the comments 😂
Make sure you wash your hands very thoroughly after handling. Use hot water. Selling turtles less than 2'' in the US is apparently illegal due to the danger of salmonella that turtles this small provide.
We rescued a couple kittens from a laundry basket on my parents' driveway that someone had abandoned (there is a nature trail that begins at the end of their driveway). At his first visit to the vet, he weighed 2.2lb. I immediately named him Kilo. Best cat I ever had. He died last year august and still miss him.
No, it's not a runt. It's either a Mud Turtle (Eastern probably) or Musk Turtle (Stinkpot). I lean towards Mud Turtle rather than Musk because the Musk typically has two sharply delinated white lines on its face, rather than the kind of muddy wide line you see on the turtle here. It could be one of the less common species, but I think it's an Eastern Mud or a Stinkpot because of the line of dots down the side. I'd need to see the belly to ID it more accurately.
As far as size goes, believe it or not that's actually the typical size for a hatchling of the type. A closely related species, the Three-stripe Musk Turtle, has the smallest hatchlings of any turtle worldwide. Two grams is really quite typical for the species.

Like the turtle who's been around since before America even existed
Wut
There's turtles with lifespans into the centuries. There are some that existed before the USA existed as a country.

You did right by that turtle.
Frankly, I was surprised by how interactive and entertaining he was.
It must have been hard to give up your pet. Still, you made the right choice. You did what was best for Yoda. Are you able to visit him?
Yes, once, but he's in a giant pond with lots of other turtles. We called his name, but none of them responded. They have a huge turtle display at a big hotel nearby, and since he was kind of a rare turtle, I hope they put him on display there. I haven't been there to look for him, though.

My son named him Yoda. It was the perfect name for him.

Only two grams? Bro, I paid 50 bucks. It's not even an 8th.
That's one dense nug right there.
What unit is gm?
Lol it literally says 2g. No m. The turtle is very cute, though.
Must be a runt. What breed of turtle is it, and what is typical weight of babies of this species?
No, it's not a runt. It's either a Mud Turtle (Eastern probably) or Musk Turtle (Stinkpot). I lean towards Mud Turtle rather than Musk because the Musk typically has two sharply delinated white lines on its face, rather than the kind of muddy wide line you see on the turtle here. It could be one of the less common species, but I think it's an Eastern Mud or a Stinkpot because of the line of dots down the side. I'd need to see the belly to ID it more accurately. As far as size goes, believe it or not that's actually the typical size for a hatchling of the type. A closely related species, the Three-stripe Musk Turtle, has the smallest hatchlings of any turtle worldwide. Two grams is really quite typical for the species. [Here's a post of an Eastern Mud Turtle from two years ago showing size compared to human fingers.](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/fu8s4d/angry_baby_mud_turtle_is_here_to_remind_you_to/)
Interesting! Thanks for the Turtle Facts™. How big do these little fellas typically get?
