Re: Picking Turtle

Do you want one that requires a smaller space ? aquatic ? there are many kinds with many needs. If you can narrow it down a bit it would help. I have aquatic, desert and other various types that I keep and can maybe point you in the right direction.

Re: Picking Turtle

I agree with Ken, lol. That is hard to know without you narrowing it down a bit, lol. I have had many red ear sliders in here, russian torts, and the list goes on. Right now I have a Sulcata, and his enclosure is my whole house, lol. Just one thing to remember, you can get the sliders for next to nothing, however, their enclosure is not cheap to set them up properly. A lot of people will tell you they do not need UVB,, they are wrong, they do!
Good luck with your choice and be sure to post lots of pics!! i love turtles, torts
