hi and welcome to the forum, we're all friendly here so please ask anything regarding these animals that you want...

first of all all turtles and terrapins unless the more exotic are fairly easy to keep one you have the set up and a little time to care for them, like all animals / pets they will need caring for...

i would be pleased to advise you on all that you need to know if you want to ring me on 01255508713 or 07951033456 Wayne..

a few things you should know before hand...

they will need the right set up / most turtles & terrapins will grow to a large size bar a very few / they will live or at least the most common ones between 20 and 35 yrs / you will need the time to offer them like all pets or part of the family.

this all sounds like I'm trying to put you off but please believe me when i say they are very rewarding animals if handled properly but all the above will need to be taken in mind when taking these much loved but misunderstood animals on.. and it's a very long commitment... all said and done we can and will help you from everything you will need from caring to getting to setting up and most medical issue's... we can even offer support and help for all your turtle & terrapin needs..

regards Wayne..
