New to Forum and Looking for an Aquatic Turtle

[OMallers]

Hi there!
My Name is O'Malley and I'm looking for a pink belly sideneck well started hatchling aquatic turtle. Was about to purchase though TortiseTown but backed out because I found some pretty scary reviews. This will be my first turtle and I have put a lot of time and funds into setting up its enclosure. I will be devastated if I get a sick turtle ? Would anyone be able to help me find a reputable breeder? Many thanks and happy to be in this community!

Welcome! Good luck finding any this time of year. I've been on the hunt for a snakeneck turtle with little luck.

Thanks for replying! Sounds like we both need some luck! Maybe the new year will bring new turtles! ?

Gotta wait till they come back in season, I suppose.

Try to find a good tortoise breeder near you. If you do, you could see for yourself how they are. Of course, this isn't very easy to do during these times

Thank you so much for the links! I'll check them out. Also I have a 30 gallon tank setup for the next year then I'll be upgrading to a 55. I'm worried about a baby being able to swim in that big a tank. Do you think it'll be okay? I see there is also a normal young adult link I will definitely check out but most of what I can find are babies. Thanks again!

I jusg emailed this seller! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm still trying to source locally so the little guy won't have to travel so far in the mail. But I will see what I hear back from this seller as well!

Thank you so much!
