Turtles make great pets. They can be kept in a tank that is half water and half dry soil, rocks, or sand. Some turtles can breathe under water and some need to come to the surface to take in air. Turtles need some sunlight for their shells to harden. They shed their shell as they grow. Female turtles are generally larger than male turtles but males have longer tails.
