*Looks back and forth between a box of turtles and Subgirrl.*

*whine* <<Looks at Maxcok and protests>>

Can I have both? I mean, if nothing else as something to share with Subgirrl...

(Truth be told, if the answer is no, Subgirrl wins at any rate too. :> )

Oh, you are so cute! How bout I find you something to play with if he won't let you keep them? :tongue:
 
Having lived in Florida for a few years now turtles are pretty much sacrosanct here. Hotels can't have outside lights during hatching season, the nests are well marked and monitored. So when I hear that someone eats turtle I naturally get upset. But correct me if I'm wrong, aren't what they eating really tortoises? There is a difference, but not really sure what it is.

When Cap and I went to Louisiana last year some of the restaurants offered turtle sauce pecan (sp?), I believe. I didn't have the nerve to try it, but it took me aback when I first saw it on the menu.

I'm no expert on Florida wildlife, but I think you're referring mainly to sea turtles. Many species are protected, and some have threatened or endangered status. The snapping turtles mentioned in this thread live primarily in freshwater environments, most notably in or near the Mississippi River and its tributaries. The short answer to the tortoise vs. turtle question is tortoises live on land and turtles live primarily in water. Tortoise vs Turtle

Chocolate isn't good for doggies anyway. Go for the girl.

*aside to subgirl - you might want to check if he's housebroken and leash trained*
 
Thanks Max, I used to have friends that trapped them on the water on their property. They told me we were having turtle soup and I thought it might be tortoise. Either way it was delicious.
