We bought a pet turtle...

We got it at a flea market. It's a little baby one, about the size of a quarter. I don't know what kind it is, but it's got little red and yellow stripes on its head. The rest of my family are at a pet store to buy it some stuff. I'll try to get some pictures if it. Anyone got advice for me? Oh, and I guess you could ask me questions. UPDATE: Okay, we gave his cage more distilled water for him to swim, replaced the pebbles, gave him some rocks to dry on, and identified his species. It seems he's a red-eared slider. Now we need a name for it... UPDATE: He ate a bit of his food and is basking on his little rock. We're thinking of naming him Leonardo.

  • I actually know quite a bit about terrapins. You'll need to buy iodine soap, and wash your hands each time after handling. Terrapins are known salmonella carriers. I'll assume the turtle will be in an aquarium? Make sure you have a place for the turtle to get out of the water.
