lah lah land.
I've been entertaining the idea of getting an aquatic turtle lately. I don't know much about the care of them, so I've gotta do some research. I'm not sure which species to get. any suggestions? Does any one know of a website with a good selection?
 
you could do frt or australian long necks
 
I love snapping turtles but they arnt for everyone and they get quite big. Check kingsnake.com for a good turtle selection.
 
I have a 10 gallon, a 40 gallon breeder, and a 150 wide. 48"30"24". If i was to put it in the 150 It would have to get along with an aro and 2 rays. The others are empty.
 
Never keep turtle with fish unless you want to risk losing the fish. With that 40 you can put up to a pair of North American mud or musk turtles. Here's a list of some that you may want to take a look at.

Common Musk
Razorback Musk
Loggerhead Musk
3 Striped Mud
Mississippi Mud

Those are just some of the more common ones and they stay small.
 
Razor backs are awsome!
