THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING A TERRAPIN
Are you tempted to purchase cute red-eared terrapins?
Red-eared terrapins live exceptionally long, between 20 to 50 years to be exact and can grow up to the size of a dinner plate sometimes bigger!
Before, acquiring a terrapin, please make sure you are ready for the life-long commitment; otherwise we strongly recommend that you don’t get one!
For more details on why you shouldn’t acquire a terrapin, check out our link here: http://www.spca.org.sg/a...
