Turtle

[Pirate]

In a pet shop I saw some turtles, I was planning on buying one and I told someone about it but apparently they can't of been turtles but I really thought they were, they looked like them and the sign said turtles and I'm convinced that they're turtles so I'm confused.
Plus they were £36 but apparently they would be 100s

Probably terapins. People get them as pets and many people end up not wanting them and put them in a pond somewhere or a canal. In my local park there are some terapins, also saw one in the London Canal. People end up throwing them away as they can bite.

Oh.. are they allowed to call them turtles..?

Tortoises are in the £100's if you legally buy them from a pet shop like mine where you get a liscense. Turtoises don't live in water.
Turtles, they live in water + on land. They cost in my shop, £20 for yellow belly turtles, and for mississipi turtles too.

if you get caught with a turtoise without the lisence you can have it took off you - so it's always best to buy it for the proper cash, they're so expensive now because to be sold turtoises have to be bred in this country otherwise you cant get a liscense therefore its not legal.

Er, the thread is not about tortoises but thanks you answered my question anyway

Maybe the shop keeper lied to get a sale? :S
