You are in Waterloo, where turtles hibernate when it gets cold.  Make
sure you keep your turtle warm and out of draughts.  Otherwise he
can get into a hibernate/thaw/hinbernate cycle which results in him
starving to death since he can't wake up enough to eat.

Turtle shit really stinks.

Turtles are hard to get out of small tight warm places they crawl into --
like right underneath the radiator.  Make sure you can always retrieve
your turtle when you let him lose in your apartment.  Otherwise you
will lose him and find him only after he has shit all over your
best clothes.

Turtle shit really stinks.

Aside from that -- they are very nice beasties.
