    Joel's mom gave him a turtle for his 5th birthday, knowing this would happen. Why? Because she was also given a turtle when she was 5. More specifically, the previous owner of her body was given a turtle when she was 5. The cycle must continue.

    I learned a very interesting and important fact about handling turtles the other day, and when I randomly saw this Joel Haver video in my recommendations, I felt the need to spread the word.
    Apparently, the proper way to hold a turtle is to support the bottom of its shell, because it's supposed to be painful for the turtle if you just grip it from the sides.
    They're connected to the inside of their shells, so if you don't support them from the bottom, you're basically letting them hang from the shell's inner surface.

  • @spider-spectre

    It is good to pick up a turtle/tortoise from under, always holding from the bottom because the shell is part of their spine and puts tension on the connection between the chest plate and back.
