Where can i find turles besides pet stores?

Question

ten points

Answer 1

what i do it go on google earth find a nearby ponf or lake, or if u already know of one. just take a fishing pole, standard hook, and put a gold fish on it. the goldfish cost like 29 cents at petco but yeah i cath turtles all the time with those, or you can try to net them when they come close to the shore

Answer 2

I would continue going to pet stores if you are considering one for a pet.

Or, petfinder.com (http://www.petfinder.com/) is AWESOME for looking for almost any type of animal. Just to be sure I put in a search for reptiles and my zip code and at least 7 turtles came up!!

Please do not snag one from the wild. You will be messing with biology and that isn't right!

Answer 3

Find the nearest Chinatown to where you live and go to their outdoor market... they have tubs and tubs of baby/grown turtles!! But beware... turtles carry tons of diseases!

Answer 4

in a local pond probably. or in the woods

Answer 5

In the wild.

Or Asian food markets.

Or zoos.

Answer 6

Near a stream, but if you don't take care of them properly they can die easy.  Also they really don't sell them anymore as they carry a disease that many young kids get from handling them, and not washing their hands.

Also near a brook they are usually near the shore in shallow water.

In ponds, creeks, lakes, rivers, drainage ditches, at fine restaurants, and at turles.com.

Ponds, swamps, rivers, creeks, usually wherever there is some calm stagnant water.
