Red-eared or painted turtles are very common pet turtles. Although not as bad as they once were, you still have to be careful of salmonella. A curious child of 5 might like to play with the turtle and then forget to wash up afterwards. I had a red-eared turtle for 6 years, they are very interesting creatures. If you keep them in a small turtle dish they will stay small, and will grow based on the size of the new tank.

∙ 15y agoI have 3 Red Ear Sliders, 5yrs, 1yr, 8mos old. Turtles are a huge commitment, they require lots of attention, but they make great little pals. The turtles themselves are very inexpensive(3-$4). If you want healthy turtles it will require a min 10 gal tank per inch of turtle, a heater, basking area, basking light, not to mention all the time you will need to invest in keeping their home clean. Turtles are very messy eaters and love to rearrange their tank.
