Let me know some of your personal experiences with where you got your turtle below! It's important to know what sources are reliable, so good or bad, share your story and it might help someone else decide where they want to buy!

No matter where you get them I suggest taking them to a vet afterwards for a check up to deworm them or treat them for hidden diseases. I learned the hard way when my hatchling suddenly got sick and died from parasites which symptoms didnt manifest till it was too late.

When I got my Three Toed Box Turtle that I got several years ago, I made sure to do my research before I got the Turtle.

Also, if you like Snakes like Ball Pythons or a small Reticulated Python, I HIGHLY recommend that you get it from a place called The Reptile Zoo! I've been there a few times & my Family, Friends & I get the VIP Celebrity Experience whenever we go there. They're famous for breeding & selling their Reticulated Pythons. Just mention Jaydog to the Owner Jay Brewer & they'll hook you up!

i feel really bad for my turtle. i got two of them from street vendors in l.a., without any thinking, cuz i thought they were really cute when i was 7. fortunately, one of them is still with me today and i'm doing a lot of research ( especially from this channel ) to give him a happier life. thank you <3

I got one of my turtles Murray from a breeder and my second one from my mate that couldn’t care for it anymore

I love how your first video starts with the unboxing of hoku!

question: how did you get your DBT to eat vegetables? Both of my DBT’s have refused to eat them. Another question, I am currently going to attempt feeding my DBT snails but since it is new to her, I am worried she might swallow the shell. What do I do?
Btw I love your videos! Hoku really reminds me of my other diamond back terrapin that passed away a few years ago.

I want a turtle, and the turtle girl will help me.

I got my turtle Shelldon from Petsmart. I think I had a pretty good experience, they made sure I had a big enough tank before I could even buy him, which I respected a lot. As of right now I've been trying to find a diamondback terrapin turtle to add to my turtle family, but they are so hard to find.

I just got my first trutle. She is an sideneck turtle. I saw her at a pet store and I had to get her. Because she wasn't taking good care of. And me being an animal lover. I knew I could take good care of her. I love all of your videos. Im going to try the Tuna water with her food. 😁

I received my 2 yellow bellied sliders as a rescue from someone who couldn't keep them any longer. 🙂

Bindi and Mazie are very entertaining.😁

[mauricnems]

I have a new baby red slider and it’s going pretty well it seems really happy!

[abelreyobedencia]

[mr.j]

Hi Turtle Girl, Buba and Bonnie have both grown 2 inches in one year. Bonnie is Huge and I’m actually enjoying them both. Bubba seems to be behaving and my 13 fish are alive and well. Weird that my black and gold gold fish are now changing to solid gold fish. I didn’t know these little guys changed color depending on what the lighting situation is. Anyway just wanted to say thank you and will continue to support your Turtle channel.

9:00 baby 3 striped mud turtle!🐢🥰 My dude Pete turned 1 last month, tiniest/cutest hatchling ever literally the size of your thumbnail. Turtle power✌️

[Alan-garci]

I have 4 red ear sliders, I got all of them for free 😂 my friend's turtles had babys and he gave me one but then other irresponsible people gave me their turtles because they were tired of taking care of them and saw I was a good owner they kept them in one of those tiny plastic temporary tanks with no basking

[hannahs]

I got all 5 of my different species of captive bred aquatic turtles from the turtle source online. They provide great information and have shipped me nothing but vibrant healthy turtles on all 5 occasions
