Planning on getting a rare turtle.?

Question

I want to get a turtle, but I don't want some RES or anything normal. I want something special or rare, like a japanese- Arctic-spider turtle (made-up) or a blind turtle like stevie.

Answer 1

OK, 'rare' can mean a couple things- uncommon in the wild, or uncommon as a pet. Those that are rare in the wild are expensive, and often illegal to own- those that are rare as pets are often hard to care for.

What you maybe REALLY want is a cool, unusual, uncommon turtle? In that case, try things like...

- The Spiny Turtle (http://www.chelonia.org/Articles/hermnsp...

- Mata Mata (http://www.chelonia.org/Articles/chelusc...

- Spotted Turtles (http://www.chelonia.org/Articles/Cguttat...

- Snapping Turtles

None of these guys looks anything like a Red-ear slider, and are not too terribly hard to care for or expensive.

NOTE- before you buy from ANY on-line vendor, you may want to check out their reputation. Try this link: http://www.turtleforum.com/forum/upload/...
