Turtles are one of the most fascinating creatures on earth. With their gentle nature, long history and distinctive shells. But just how much do we know about them?
Let's explore the world of turtles!
Turtles are reptiles, the same as snakes and lizards, but they're in a category all their own. Perhaps the most identifiable trait of theirs is the shell, which also serves as home and armour. Their capacity to thrive and survive in different environments like oceans, rivers and on land is a reason why they've survived this long.
Turtles make fascinating pets, but they’re not low-maintenance. Before bringing one home, it’s essential to do your research.
What living set up do Turtles require?
- Clean water or a proper terrarium
- UVB lighting to process calcium and maintain shell health
- A varied diet that includes nourishing and high-quality commercial turtle pellets and sticks
- Space to swim and bask
With proper setup, turtles can live for a time. Some even live for more than 50 years! That is to say, they're a long-term investment, ideal for those who want a long-term companion.
