What is the worst pet you've ever had?

I had a turtle once, and its tank would get dirty so quickly. I was 16 so I had no idea how to clean the tank efficiently. I would literally carry this giant aquarium tank to my bathroom and put the turtle in the bathtub and then dump the water out into my standup shower. One time, I dropped the tank full of water and it shattered and flooded my bathroom and into the ceiling downstairs. After that, I gave him to my friend.
