syilla,
i used to have three turtles...and yeah...never stopped eating until it was so big (bigger than the 17" monitor) that i've to let them go into one of the man made lake. I'm so worried of them...whether they could survive.

what kind of monitor did you have? i had a savannah monitor that i rescued from a pet store as a baby with severe calcium deficiency. he was a huge eater. when he got about 3 feet long, i gave him to someone who had more room.

well, after going through trying to save about 6 snakes, i did learn eventually not to do this - esp. with reptiles - with reptiles by the time an illness is obvious, it is usually too late to save them. success stories are a minority.
the reptile trade is slowly improving, but in general, it is best to buy directly from a reputable breeder. in the u.s. and u.k. there are frequent reptile shows where you can go and interview breeders.
as far as capturing critters in the wild, i've had the best luck with baby snakes, and desert banded geckos. these guys are really cute and very hardy too. i feed them crickets and meal worms.
 
Turtle swallowed by dog survives ordeal




LITHIA, Fla., Feb. 16 (UPI) -- A pet turtle in Florida survived a voyage into the digestive tract of a family dog with only minor injuries.

Pepper, a turtle owned by 12-year-old Shelby Terihay, was swallowed by Bella, the family's golden retriever. The turtle was spending the night in a bathtub inside the Lithia, Fla., house to avoid cold temperatures outside, the St. Petersburg Times reported Friday.

When the turtle's absence was noticed and Bella was acting suspiciously nearby, Shelby informed her parents of the proper course of action: force the dog to drink hydrogen peroxide and prepare for a great deal of vomit.

"I basically wrote the turtle off," said Shelby's father, explaining that the turtle had been inside the dog for about 10 minutes. "I was thinking, 'There's no way.'"

But when the family took the heaving dog outside, the little green turtle was expelled from Bella's mouth and began to crawl.

The family said Pepper was treated by a veterinarian for a cracked shell and had to take medicine for a time, but both the turtle and the dog are now in good health.

It is a good thing turtle has to carry its shell everywhere.
