How much time should the turtle spend in and out of their water tank? My kids ~love~ their new turtle and want him out a ~lot~ but I’ve been limiting it because I don’t know how much time a turtle should be out of water. They aren’t ‘handling’ him, just watching him walk around the living room. (And yes they DO wash their hands after every time they touch him) Thanks!

I really want to bring my pet turtle with me. So, if you know any airlines that accept bringing turtles, could you please tell me? Thank you.

I just don’t want one that lives for like75 years because….

i’m considering to get an aquatic turtle but i want to learn a little about them first. for example: how big it’ll grow, what i’ll need to feed it, how often do i clean the tank, etc. if any of you know of a site with faq or something helpful in it, please let me know and send me the link. thanks.

My parents are letting me have a pet turtle. I can’t wait. But I don’t know how to take care of them yet. Are there any tips for me? And what type of smallish turtles are there that are good as pets?
And should I have just one turtle or have two?

I have a turtle in an aquarium, and wanna know if its ok for me to feed it fish from a river. I would keep the minnows in a seperate tank, and only feed him a fish every 2-3 days or so.

I have been thinking of purchasing a pet turtle but I am also wondering if they are a pet that requires a lot of work.
