Get a tortoise, they can be expensive to buy but really cheap maintenance

Turtles are really a commitment they live a long time. Don't get a tortoise unless you have a huge yard or a huge shed/garage that you can make its home. I'd recommend a box turtle or something easy that just eats greens. They aren't exciting, they aren't fun, they are cute and do a whole lot of nothing. It isn't like having a lizard or a snake. You can't really hold it and play with it a lot. Depending on your location you can go find one in 30 minutes.

No, depending on what kind you get, if you get a tortoise it's like 100-300 for a baby. A regular box turtle you can find or buy from someone cheap online for 25 bucks. They eat greens, and greens aren't expensive, so pretty easy to care for.

My friend got one from another friend, and just keeps him in a fish tank. Not sure how much money that is worth.
