1. turtles require a tremendous amount of filtration as they produce copious amounts of waste.
2. turtles, simply because of their physical make-up, can cause havoc in a fish tank by simply knocking everyhting and anything over with thier long nails and powerful "flippers" and shell.
3. turtles require specialized lighting and diet and are prone to shell and skin issues if not kept in a specialist set-up.
4. turtles without the proper water treatment and water change schedule produce some seriously funky water that offends the nose.
In summary, outside of a dedicated turtle keepers set up, most turtles are headed for soft or deformed shells, skin and eye problems, and terribly dirty water, leading to their eventual need to be re-homed.
Don't get me wrong, it would be a dream set up for me to keep a snapping turtle. And i've done it in the past, however i would never ever recommend getting a turtle to the non-dedicated turtle keeper. It's just to much work and too specialized an animal.
Those mini 2 inch turtles turn into 12 inch turtles quicker than you think. Way quicker..
