This time PETCO is going too far and something needs to be done to put a stop to this product and future products of this type. Not only is the product detrimental to the health of the animal but there are also very negative comments about the animal itself. This is like buying ___glue on_ clothes for your dog. No one would think it was ok to do that but it is ok to glue something on a turtle___s shell! http://community.petco.com/fd03p00v00b1 iShell Hits Stores This Summer! By Anna Rodriguez We recently returned from Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Fla. While there, we discovered lots of fun, new pet products we are now working hard to bring to our stores and customers. One of the most exciting finds was a cutting-edge fashion option for a companion animal that is often overlooked ___ our somewhat shy and homely turtle friends. So, drum roll please___we___re proud to announce PETCO___s exclusive partnership with iShell Turtle Shell Covers! These fully customizable shell accessories are guaranteed to add a spark of life to often boring brown turtle shells. Designed to work much like the iPad covers, iShells use a natural adhesive that creates a temporary bond with keratin, a fibrous protein that makes scutes, or the horny scales covering the upper shells of most turtles. The days of struggling to identify a favorite turtle from its tankmates are over. With iShells, our customers___ turtles can now also be a delightful complement to their home dͩcor. ___iShells are made from a natural resin and come in a wide variety of designs and colors,_ said Associate Merchandise Manager for Reptile and Wildlife Supplies Anna Rodriguez. ___They can be easily removed and changed thanks to a special patent-pending technology, which creates an easily-breakable seal between the turtle___s shell and the iShell._ We expect iShells to become an instant hit when they become available to PETCO customers this summer. We’re also looking forward to other products from the same Brazil-based vendor, including iScales for snakes and reptiles.

Hi Anna, Thanks for bringing this up. Luckily, I believe the IShell is an April Fools joke as stated in the comments section by Odjur. ;-)http://community.petco.com/blog/The_PETCO_Scoop_Blog/fd03p00v00b1?entryId=26&nav=comments Karen
