Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi folks, my gf has fallen in love with the little turtles at our local pet store, unfortunatley the one she fell in love with is some sort of monster tortoise that gets huge. What i would like to know is, what types of turles stay relatively small in size, relatively small in that they are under a foot in length. And if you could let me know what type of habitats said turtles would need. Thanks in advance for any and all info. oh and they need to be really friendly.

Look into Painted, Reeves and Mud if you're looking for an aquatic turtle. If you want a land turtle then go for a box (3-toed or eastern) or wood, or you might even want a small variety tortoise. check out www.cholonia.org.
