This has to be one of the weirder things I've done in my life.

I guess- I guess I'll just like cut right to it.

This is the story of how I went to go get my hair cut.

I actually cannot get over this snapping turtle. Right here, guys.

I love that one right there, with his little feet sticking straight out.

You know when you were in school, or if you're still in school?

And there's those math problems that are like

Sally bought 50 tomatoes with her friend who also got?

35 dogs, and what could the possible equation be of the watermelon

Well, I've become a living math problem because I went to go get my haircut and I came home

With 80 turtles yeah, that's- that's right quite a few. A lot. Okay, that's a lot of turtles.

So, I went to go get my hair cut, the other day.

Which you can never tell when I do, because

I was actually out running errands with my mom so she dropped me off at the hairstylist

She went out and she continued to do her thing and then when I was done.

Well, my mom made a big mistake, or maybe

My mom decided to mention that she saw a guy on the side of the road selling turtles.

And I- That set me off. If you don't know selling turtles on the side of the road

This is a normal thing, but in Texas sadly, I see it all the time.

There's guys and girls on the side of the road selling what normally are baby Red-Eared Sliders

There is a loophole around this being illegal. Basically if they're over four inches

You can sell them legally on the side of the street.

Now, these people sell them for some insanely cheap price like five dollars for a turtle.

And they give you a little container for the turtle to go in and they just send you on your way with the turtle.

And they tell you nothing about the care that goes into this turtle.

Nothing about the fact that they'll get 12 inches in diameter.

Nothing about the fact that they need land and water and a filter and a heater and a basking spot

Just ship you off with your tiny cute little baby turtle for your little kid

And they tell you to have a good day, and that turtle lives a miserable life until it ultimately dies

Sorry if I sound weird I have bronchitis.

Basically if you see a guy on the side of the road selling turtles. Don't tell your friends about it,

Don't take pictures with the turtle. Don't buy a turtle which I know this is going to sound very

Contradicting to the fact that there are 80 of them in my kitchen, but just hear me out here, okay

So my mom told me that there was a guy selling turtle in the side of the street

And I just had to go look at him. I had to go talk to the guy

I had to tell him what he was doing was wrong.

Because no matter what even if it was completely legal,

Selling turtles for five dollars on the side the street and not informing people

Anything about the care that goes into them is wrong. I don't care if he has a permit

I went over there, and I walked up to him, and it's really hard to hear on my footage, but this is what happened

Like where did you get them? Did yall have a permit to do this?

Cause they're really small and if they're under 4 inches then they can only be sold for educational purposes.

You know that this kind of stuff isn't sustainable for them, right?

but do you let the people know who are buying them that they get massive?

They get the size of a dinner plate, they do. They need one side that has 90 degrees-

I'm here to look because they are for sale on the side of the road for 5 dollars.

Man: Is getting harassed by people- The best cop that came told me that if we get harassed by people again just call them.

it's fine that it's legal but it's still unfair for them

People don't know what they're going into.

What kind of home are these guys going to? Are they getting a good home?

But why do you want your business to be about animals not getting good homes.

they're not just selling them in little containers.

At the pet store, they tell them 'oh you have to get them big containers'

Man: Anybody would know that its temporary.

I've had many people come in not knowing it's temporary

I know yeah, but people just see them and go. Oh five dollars. I can grab my kid a turtle

They'll love it, and it's going to go home and it's going to die.

Man: Well, that would be the public's misunderstanding.

I know that's just why- why even put it out there for people to do that is what I'm saying.
