I tried to buy a turtle a few years back. You remember those palm size turtles that everyone had as a kid? They didn't do much. They didn't run or jump but they were great listeners. Well, they are illegal in the state of Colorado. Reason being that I might put one in my mouth and end up choking to death. What I could buy however, was a crocodile. Yes, a real live crocodile. You know the ones. They grow 5 to 6 feet in length and eat meat. Couldn't own a turtle but I could own a damn crocodile. LOL, makes you wonder.
