phiber, i agree that one of the more common, and smaller species of pet turtle will most likely suit you better. they are also a little more enjoyable. they come swimming at you everytime you enter the room, wanting you to give them some food. they are easier, hardier, smaller, just an all around better pet. i wouldnt want you to get into a snapper or softy and a year from now be bored with them or not end up being able to give them their needed tank size. it wouldnt be fair to you or the turtles. please take this into consideration. and if it the colorations you dont find attractive, you can get a morph of a species, like pastel RES or something like that. they will cost a little more, but you may like them much better.
