Large-headed Turtle
A Chinese-endemic 'big-head' turtle that looks like a Reeves' but with a huge triangular head it cannot retract - a threatened, somewhat delicate water turtle.
Eastern Painted Turtle
One of four painted-turtle subspecies - smaller, plainer and a bit harder to keep than the western form, but a classic, hardy North American pet with a red-edged shell.
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.
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.
Common Snapping Turtle
The familiar 'small croc' - the most common and cheapest of the four Chelydra subspecies, hardy and pugnacious; a meat/farm turtle more than a pet.
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.
Chinese Striped-neck Turtle
A pretty, beginner-friendly Asian water turtle with green-and-black neck stripes and pearly juvenile edge spots - common captive-bred, but wild stocks are scarce.
Pig-nosed Turtle
A bizarre, soft-shelled, flipper-limbed 'fly river turtle' that looks more like a turtle-bream hybrid - fully aquatic, sensitive to water quality, and a committed non-basker.
