Hi, I keep snakes and I was wondering about keeping turtles or tortoises. What is a good beginner species of turtle? Something easy to set up, easy to care for and that doesn't get too big? I mean easy as a relative term, of course. Also, I realize most turtles/ and torts live for a long long time (as will my snakes, hopefully!) So that isn't an issue, really, I am prepared to deal with that. I started my snake collection with corn snakes and ball pythons which are the "easiest" to keep according to many and I still find them absolutely fascinating every day. I am sure the same would be true for a turtle. thanks for any help you can offer.

OOPS, sorry. Had two browsers open and I have no clue how this happened. . . wasn't even looking at the corn snake page. . or so I thougt?? Sorry.
