Do painted turtles like to play?

Yes, one can have a painted turtle as a pet. The real question might be, should you have a painted turtle as a pet? Painted turtles are beautiful and engaging creatures. In some parts of the country, they are endangered. In other places, their populations are at risk and declining. It is my opinion, as a painted turtle owner and a veterinarian, that painted turtles are best left in the wild. That said, if you have your heart set on a pet painted turtle, there are a few things to keep in mind. All pet turtles require extremely clean water, although they are naturally dirty creatures. They must have UVA and UVB lamps. The bulbs are somewhat expensive and must be changed annually. Turtles need a source of steady heat. Although they can hibernate outside, they cannot survive long term at a chilly (60-74) temperature. Turtles can't just be fed "turtle pellets." They need at least some live food, plants and some prey. They must have an appropriate basking area. They require an excellent filtration system and regular cleaning. Most importantly, they need a BIG tank or pool. Personally, I believe it is downright cruel to keep an adult painted turtle in any enclosure less than 75 gallons. It's the equivalent of you being kept in a closet for your entire life. My turtle's tank is 150 gallons. This weighs a lot. Finally, if you really want a painted turtle, please consider rescuing one. They live a long time, upwards of 40 years if they are properly cared for. One can often find free turtles on craigslist and various rescue organizations.

What will happen if an organism went extinct?

For that organism it is a significant event as it would no longer exist. For the overall ecosystem the impact would be minimal as there is usually enough flexibility and alternate sources of prey for the system to work.As proof passenger pigeons, dodos, Tasmanian loves, dinosaurs and others have gone extinct bt life eventually continued on.
