Should you let your turtle outside?

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!! No matter what kind of Turtle u have the best thing u could buy is one of those plastic baby pools and let it play in that! If you have an Aquatic turtle put a few inches of cool water (depending on the size of the turtle) and a big rock for it to bask in the sun, or if you have a land turtle put a few inches of sand in it and a dish for fresh water and let them play for no more than a couple hours. But during play time u have to keep a very close eye on them and keep away Predators, or make sure they don't climb out!! But in the end your turlte will love u for letting it play in the air and sun!
