To be fair, getting out of the Mann after a concert is nearly as bad.

Yes. It's where people used to try and sell me ferrets.

I don't doubt The Mann is better for all bands, Sharon Van Etten slayed last year, but I hope Phish never return. The way the park was left was absolutely shameful.

Yeah these are usually red-eared sliders, which are not native and will screw with the local wildlife. That's one of the huge problems with these turtle guys -- people get sick of their pets and release the turtles into local ponds, where they absolutely take over.

Agreed! They are a lot like toddlers in my opinion, capable of big love and also big destruction! A well-exercised jack is a happy jack.

My neighbor has a full ass Tortoise. It has its own room and isn't fully grown yet at 200 lbs. He had to have a will drawn up so he can bequeath it to someone because the Tortoise will outlive him just to even purchase the thing.
He tried to get me to inherit it and my wife was a solid "No".

Even if you could, these are probably invasive species that shouldn't be released into local ecosystems and there's no viable way to get them back to whatever part of the world they originate in.

Is the turtle soup scene back? Galapagos tortoises took forever to be properly classified because they were so incredibly delicious apparently

Oop, grabbed the wrong link, but yeah it's still an invasive species.

It's a large apartment building now with many condos. It was finished about 2-3 years ago. For a long time it was just a shallow square pit.
