It is a fancy term for tortoise, therefore sometimes you can keep them as pets depending on the breed.
Terrapins make good pets PROVIDED you keep their enclosure clean ! They live quite a long time, and are easy to care for.
Sorry Lauren9712 - terrapin is NOT a 'fancy name for a tortoise' they are COMPLETELY different animals. !
