Turtles??????

Question

does anyone know any species of turles that only get to be about 5 inches of smaller as adult or what are some small turles that dont get that big( like southen painted turtle)

Answer 1

i think Red Earred Sliders onlygrow to be 5-6 inches.

Answer 2

yes red eared sliders can grow a foot long don't buy those you should stick with the painted turtle their are species of tortoises that stay 5 or 6 inches like Russian tortoises and maybe Greek tortoises

Answer 3

red ear sliders get to be 8-12 inches.

look into mud turtles or musk turtles. they stay small as do southern painted sliders :)

Answer 4

probably the red ear slider

Answer 5

RES can get much larger than 5 inches.  You might try an eastern painted turtle.  They don't get any larger than 7 inches.  Good luck!  :)

Answer 6

Stay away from RES. Red eared sliders can grow to be a foot long and longer in some instances.

I suggest you look into Reeve's turtles. Chicken turtles, musk and mud turtles.

Best of luck!
