Eastern Box Turtle (Carolina Box Turtle)
The familiar Carolina box turtle of eastern North America - high-domed, fireworks-patterned, and a classic (if pricey) beginner-terrestrial box turtle. Loves soaking but cannot swim.
Asian Leaf Turtle
A common, beginner-friendly semi-aquatic turtle of the genus Cyclemys - four subspecies differ in shell and neck pattern; hardy and interactive, great for newcomers.
Spiny Turtle
The 'sun turtle' - a bizarre, spiky juvenile that sadly loses most of its spikes with age. CITES II and wild-imported specimens often arrive near death; a delicate, specialist turtle.
White-lipped Mud Turtle
A strikingly pretty mud-turtle relative - the 'mango-head' morph can flush yellow onto limbs and shell. Friendly and mid-priced, but it cannot brumate and must be kept heated year-round.
McCord’s Box Turtle
A dazzling, China-endemic box turtle (Cuora mccordi) from Guangxi - extremely rare and CITES II; wild individuals are essentially unobtainable. Education-only.
Helmeted Turtle
A common, hardy African side-neck turtle - small, gregarious, a strong carnivore, and a good tropical-community water turtle (no brumation).
Central American Snapping Turtle
The rarest of the four chelydran snapping-turtle subspecies - large, dark, pugnacious, and really a 'meat turtle', not a home pet.
Marginated Tortoise
The largest Mediterranean tortoise, with a fan-like flared rear shell - temperate-climate friendly and a good (if winter-careful) European tortoise.
African Spurred Tortoise (Sulcata)
The third-largest tortoise in the world and a desert specialist - adorable as a hatchling, but it grows into a 50-70 kg excavation machine.
European Pond Turtle
The widespread, adaptable pond turtle of Europe - a semi-aquatic, personable species that does well in a well-filtered outdoor or indoor pond.
