There are a variety of pet turtles available in pet shops. Some of the more common and more tame pet turtles include the Wood turtle and the Red-Eared Slider. If you’re looking to bring a pet turtle home then you will first need to create a habitat or home for your soon to be pet. First, look to purchase a tank for your turtle. A 40 gallon is ideal as it provides plenty of room for your turtle especially since your turtle will need room to grow. A 20 gallon tank may do in the beginning but plan to buy a larger one within the first year of owning your pet turtle. Large tanks give turtles plenty of room to roam, swim, bask in the sun, and burrow in the dirt. Décor to make it look like a natural habitation will also be needed.
