Awe, don't feel too bad, my most successful pet around that age was a box turtle I saved from the road on a rainy day and kept at 9, I fed him beetles, earthworms, and bugs. Only to discover about 9 years later he would've been soooo much happier with a tomato and lettuce. But now my brother has one he rescued and I passed on a wealth of knowledge on what to feed him, and that it's plenty okay to take him out his cage and let him soak while you clean out all the turtle poop. (: I'll probably purchase him a book in eastern box turtles to send him for his birthday, he's an avid reader.
