I've never had a turtle before but i reallyyy want a sea turtle. I was wondering what the most common types are and which would be the easiest to care for.

or freshwater

well, first you need a sea...then you can get a turtle.































































dont be cruel. turtles, especially marine ones, are not meant to be kept at home.

not sure where you live but around here it's illegal to own sea creatures

You can't have a sea turtle for a pet. I believe they might be protected. Anyway, you wouldn't have the right set up for this....remember, they live in the sea!

If you want a turtle for a pet, try a red-eared slider (a freshwater turtle). They are readily available and pretty easy to take care of as long as they are properly fed and their tank is kept clean.

Sorry, but sea turtles are not meant to be pets. They need to live in the ocean and they get very large. Too large to take care of. I can understand your love of this animal. They are amazing. If you want to have contact with them, volunteer with an agency that protects their nesting beaches. There are several such organizations.































If you truly love sea turtles, there are ways you can be close to them while helping to protect them. Do some research. Good luck!
