"The Asians"? Dude, you might be a redneck...

You may want to consult your doctor about turtles as pets. There fecies usually contain salmonella and you want to take caution after handling them or their cage.

I could have said MON people but who would know what I was talking about then.
This is a western Painted/
Salmonella in herps is only present if they are exsposed to it. Ive had Iguanas Beared dragons and snakes. Just never a turtle. The wife made me give the lizards and snakes away..
