  1. Harry needs an acid bath if he wants to remove the stench of his actions.

    There are turtles in Bull Shoals lake (Arkansas/Missouri) that hatched during the Civil War. If you like fishing for stripers, that is a great place. Very nice boat rental services, campsites, hotels, and rednecks.

  2. My Mom used to run a house cleaning business and I’d help her out when I was home from college during the summer. This one lady kept a turtle in her bath tub. But I only had to clean the toilet at that house. Funny, Mom always had me scrub the ?ters…

  3. There is a protective layer of bacteria that grows on the outside of the animal which helps it survive for so long. Removing it will undoubtedly expose it to a hostile environment and certain attack, most likely destroying it. It’s called the democrat party….the tortoise will be fine.

  4. I never knew lizards and snakes were plants until I read the comments on this thread. I’m still assuming they are not mineral either, but we know they’re not animals, right?
