Default Spotteds?

Hi

I've been doing a fair bit of research into turtles/terrapins for a few months now..

But I still don't feel confident enough to go & buy one, so I'm still doing more

But what I wanted to know, is are spotted turtles very rare?

'Cause I really like the look of them, & the fact they're tiny means I could (if it's possible to, need to look into that..) keep a couple together & still have loadsa room left over for them to do whatever it is they do..

So yeh, are spotted turtles rare?

Ta muchly

Thanks for the link

But they're not spotteds

I like the look of the Musk turtles you suggested Graham, are they pretty readily available as CB hatchlings in the UK?

Not as common as the ubiquitous YBS, Maps, etc... but not that hard to get hold of if you really want them, and not that expensive either at around £30.

They are unlikely to be CBs though, imported CFs more likely.
