Me and my friend want to buy a turtle to live at my house, in a tank. What things do i need, and what is the best kind to get?
it would have to stay kind of small, and which ones are behavorially more mild?

My friend wants a pet turtle for his birthday.
I’m not sure if there is a turtle that does not exceed 5 inches but that would be wonderful.

I’m looking for a small turtle for an apartment that will have relatively easy care and can live in a ten gallon tank throughout its life. I’ve considered a red-eared slider, but those apparently approach eleven inches in adulthood and I just don’t have the space. Any other turtles that stay under eight inches or [...]

I just bought 2 red ear turtles and I placed them in a tank. The tank is 20×10×12. I read some online info that they needed a filter and some rocks to play on. Well, can someone give me some links to buy turtle filters and how the filter works? My turtles and I will [...]

Hi, in the supermarket, there is packaged frozen turtle or “shell fish”. I heard that turtle is very beneficial to health. Does anyone know how to make turtle soup? Do you dunk the whole turtle to the pot or do I need to use a hammer and break the shell??
Anyone know? Thanks.
