Cool testing the water

I’m just testing the water hear because I’m thinking about getting terrapin or something, so I’m just looking for advice really. i.e. size tank what to feed ect. the basics, I already have a number of exotic pet’s such as snakes, a scorpion, tarantula and a bearded dragon and before I went and got any of them I did my research. Also I’d like your opinions on what type and why?

Thanx

Eventual sizes vary species to species. Here's my caresheet for the most commonly available species: Aquatic Turtles/Terrapins.

After you've read James's caresheet read this thread from yesterday Turtles.. and the sticky at the top of the Shelled section which explains tank sizes and filtration.
These should answer most of your questions, and will probably give you a few more to ask too!
