A quiet, yet captivating presence
With a rounded shell and a soft, subdued coloring,
the photographs convey the reserved, elegant atmosphere unique to the southern pond turtle.
They are very calm when lined up together, and their sudden appearance of
popping their heads out to peer at you is a truly captivating sight. 🐢 They
are easily adapted to the Japanese environment and are a relatively hardy species,
making them a great choice for those new to keeping aquatic turtles.
Proper sun exposure and water quality management will allow you to enjoy a long, calm life
with them. The changing expressions and behavior of their shells as they grow is also one of their charms.
Be sure to come see them in store to experience the cuteness that only this turtle can offer at its current size.
