    Nope - but what kind of turtles are you after?? You have done some research I hope?? Red eared sliders & yellow bellies get BIG - the size of a dinner plate - can you cope with animals this size? They will need a huge tank & do smell - I have 9 assorted turtles that got too big for people.

    i recomend you look at the musk and mud turtles

    and i recomend them to anyone else looking for turtles as they stay alot smaller than other turtles and are easily managable in a fish tank,,,

    but atleast a 180ltr fish tank
    • Razor-backed Musk ( Sternotherus carinatus ) - 3 - 6.3 inches
    • Flattened Musk ( Sternotherus depressus) 3 - 4.5 inches
    • Loggerhead Musk ( Sternotherus minor ) - 3 - 5.3 inches

    just 3 types to keep you thinking about
