I finally talked my husband into letting me get an aquatic turtle! I’ve got a lot of research ahead of me. I would like suggestions on what species would be good for a beginner? I have a short list of turtles that I can get from around here. I’m more interested in adopting but I do want the turtle to not be full grown yet. Seeing them grow is part of the fun. Theres lots of small turtles on Craigslist for rehoming, not a wide variety of species though. Obviously I could order one but it seems like the shipping is way more than the price of the turtle. Thanks!
These are the turtles I could get here.
Razorback musk
Common musk
Pink belly side neck
Northern map
Eastern mud
Red ear slider
