When I was a child I remember finding box turtles in the road a few times and keeping them for a few years then we let them go back in the wild. I've always liked turtles, but since have yet to own another one. Maybe one day I'll own another one.

Also for snakes, I'll admit I wasn't a big fan of them from the time I was little to the age of 21. Then again I didn't really know much about them. When I was 21 I found a loose toad in a parking lot hopping around on a very very hot day and I took him home. I had him for about 2 weeks then I knew he was in good enough heath to be released. I released him and a few days later I missed the little guy. So I went out and got a toad from a pet store. A few days later she died and I was pretty upset. A friend of mine then got a baby snow corn snake and that is all she wrote! After handling her corn snake that was it. I loved snakes, so I went out and bought Jinx... and well my snake family has grown him there
