Turtles (family Testudinae) are reptiles that are very closely related to tortoises, and can be found all over the world. The main difference between the two is that turtles are mainly aquatic, while tortoises are land-dwelling. Turtles also tend to be carnivorous or omnivorous, while tortoises tend to be herbivorous.
Most turtles in captivity are freshwater, also sometimes referred to as terrapins. They vary in size from 3" to 3' in diameter, and generally live 40-50 years in captivity.
Keeping turtles as pets can be challenging since they are aquatic reptiles. Please do lots of research before bringing home a pet turtle so you can give it the best life possible.
