Trivia[]

  • Turtles are just one of only a few pets (such as Pet Polar Bears, Pet Hippos, Pet Penguins, and Pet Platypuses) that can be used both on land and in water, and currently the only reptile that can.
  • Turtles are the 2nd reptilian pets, after Snakes and followed by Crocodiles, Geckos, and Frilled Lizards.
  • Turtles can be customized with flippers or legs, but they can still go underwater and on land with either choice. 
  • Turtles were the first pet able to go on Land and Water.
  • As with most amphibious pets, the land accessories cannot be used underwater and vice versa.
  • When they were first released, they would automatically go to sleep when the player went idle for a short time, but that feature has since been removed. It can, however, still occur in the Play-As-Your-Pet Party.
  • In the Pet Stop, the turtle can get a ninja mask and katanas, which may be a reference to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
  • The turtle's action when clicked (tucking into its shell and sliding) may be a reference to the Koopa Troopas from Super Mario Bros.
  • It was set for clearance in February 2017 and was removed from the Choose a Pet menu shortly afterwards, but its adoption icons were not removed until much later in 2017.
  • Its adoption icon in Claws 'N Paws was replaced with an Eggstravaganza pedestal.
