are there such things as res turtles that stay at the size of a baby turtle?

Question

that never grow??

Answer 1

ABSOLUTELY NOT! The person who sells such things is LYING because they are trying to make a sale and do not care about you or the turtle, just a fast buck.

Do a google for "miniature turtle" and you will have your answer as the first result that comes up on google.

Answer 2

no this is not true. only a small handful of turtles reach an adult size of < 5inches. most will grow to anywhere from 7-12 inches if not bigger. res grow to about 7-12 depending on sex. the few that stay mostly under 5 are MALE Reeves turtles, spotted turtles (not legal to keep everywhere),
Diamond back terrapins, and musk turtles.

Answer 3

Sadly, the common pet Red-ear Slider often stays the size of a baby because they are so badly cared for, and die so young.

I don't think that is what you are looking for, though.

No, there is no healthy turtle that stays small enough to be happy in a small habitat.

Answer 4

Thjere are some turtles which you would be waiting to contemplate "mini" in case you in comparison them to a leatherback turtle (they upward thrust as much as a minimum of one ton). There are none that would do nicely in a fifteen-gallon tank. greater proper save on with fish or bugs.
