hey my mom is thinking about getting a turtle but she doesn't know what kind it is do think that you could tell me what's the morph on this map turtle?(i'm a gecko guy and i have no clue when it comes to turtles) DO you think you could tell me what care req. are needed to keep this guy happy.
P.S.
i borrowed this pic from the classifieds so i give all photo credits to the true owner of this pic
Thats just a regular Cagle's map turtle (Graptemys caglei). Its no special morph or anything; don't buy in to the scams that those dealers offer. I wouldn't recommend a map turtle as a first pet either, but if you decide on a map, I would get something cheaper such as a Mississippi map or false map (Graptemys kohni and G. pseudogeographic). They usually aren't more than $15.

thanks
Also make sure you know what's native in your state and what the regulations are!
