Hello guys hope you're all having a fantastic day. Me and the hubby were talking about getting another turtle sometime and he suggested a very colorful turtle.. I said a softshell he wants a bright one lol. Anybody know of any vibrant turtles or tortoises ? If so please let me know [emoji3526] I will be searching the internet as well.

Oh my goodness that is very vibrant and beautiful [emoji7] I didn't know that was a species. I might be sold on that one lol
They are like box turtles too, spend the majority of their time on land.

I've always liked adult male Batagur borneoensis, the painted terrapin. Not the most colorful shell but I love that face.

Three other personal favorites although not as colorful, can be hard to find, delicate, and a little pricey.


Geomyda spengleri, the Vietnamese black-breasted leaf turtle.

Erymnochelys madagascarienis, the Madagascar big-headed turtle

And Carettochelys insculpta, the Fly River or pig-nosed turtle.

I've seen eastern box turtles out there that are more outrageously colored than this one
