why are turtles walk so slow? what makes them so slow? because they have small feets or is it because they're just dumb?

Turtles aren't dumb. And they aren't the only things that are slow either.. that's a kind of silly question.. wouldn't you be slow if you had to carry a shell bigger than your whole body on your back?

I don't know. Sloths are slower but they don't have to deal with any shell. Maybe it's...a hormone? Look it up, psht. We're no scientists.

Sloths move slow to avoid predators.. like birds, because birds watch out for sudden movements.

we learned this in Science last trimester..they walk so slow because they have a heavy as x_angawhomps was saying, the shell's purpose is to hide from predators, making turtles slow
 yes, turtles aren't the only slow animals..i mean..look at snails

Turtles are slow because of their big, heavy and protective shells.

They're slow because they don't want to be fast. I had a turtle once, but it ran away

i think its cause of their short stubby legs. not to mention, there is no telling how that shell feels on their backs
