Help me choose my next turtle :)

I am thinking of getting a new BABY turtle. It will live in a 50gal and one of them will get big so it will go to an indoor pond. So what should I get? A reeves turtle or an ALBINO Chinese soft shell turtle?

Which one is more of a 'hardy' turtle?
Which one makes a better pet?
Which one is harder to care for?

albino soft shell is the same care as your chinese softy.
and i imagine the reeves will be hardier.
better pet? define what your looking for in a pet.
prolly the chinese softy cause theyre agressive and grow larger.

Pet: cool, show of to my friends (everyone does it), notices me, fun to watch

soft shell little harder to take care of but i think they got better personality most times spiny or florida spiny looks better to me tho

I prefer Reeves, they are just so full of personalty. Personally though I have to say get a Honduran wood, i got mine a few weeks back and out of the 18 or so turtles i own it is the best personalty wise and intelligence wise, and feisty to boot. How can you not want this?

I can only find reeves, or softies. Don't know what to do lol

 

[crayfishguy]

i think a reeves would be much easier and cooler looking

I am going out tomorrow at 11am (London timing) to get the turtle, I am thinking albino but not 100% sure

An albino softy would be great, although Reeves are a bit more managable Show us pics if you get something!

Best,
Paul
