What is a Reeve's Turtle?
Reeve's Turtles are a small to medium freshwater turtle that grows to approximately five inches in size (shell front to back). Unlike Terrapins, Reeve's Tutles are not a basking species and spend most of their time in water. When buying Reeve's Turtles from hatchlings it is quite easy with regular handling to make them tame and friendly.
How do I keep Reeve's Turtle?
An ideal set of to keep Reeve's Turtles would be a glass aquarium with a filter (to keep the water clean), a heater (to keep the water at a constant 25 degrees), and a UVB light (to encourage correct shell growth). They also need a landed area where the can get out of the water such as Turtle Dock. It is important to remember that it takes three to four years for a hatchling Reeve's Turtle to grow to full size and therefore, to help socialize the Turtle, it is much better to keep the hatchling in a smaller enclosure (30-40 litres) to start with; upgrading to a larger aquarium as they grow.
What do I feed my Reeve's Turtle?
Reeve's Turtles are omnivores and in the wild would eat vegetation and such things as fish and insects. For your pet Reeve's Turtle however, There are various complete dried and frozen foods that contain most of the animals dietary requirements.
How big and what sex will my Baby Reeve's Turtle be?
The baby Reeve's Turtles we sell are approximately one to two inches long (Under shell length front to back). Due to their small size and juvenile status we are unable to sex Reeve's Turtles.
