Yes red eared sliders and map turtles are good companions because they love listening. When I was playing the piano my turtles were sitting on their bridge and looking at me... when I was done playing, they jumped off the bridge and I left.

Mud turtles are Semi-Aquatic turtles. Even though they spend much more of their time in the water compared to Sliders, Painted and Map turtles, they do come out on land to bask or to travel to a new area.

No, these turtles along with red ear sliders are the most common turtle you can get hold of. They are readily available in most reptile stores (well they seem to be the one they all sell). Other turtles such as map and musk turtles are much harder to get hold of, especially in the UK.
mid 70's up to 78 i keep my turtles yellow bellied sliders and map turtles outside in pond have a water heater in water. Plus when not sunny basking light and strip light for them.
Map turtles are not typically recommended as pets for beginners due to their specific care requirements and need for a large aquatic habitat.
because the back of their shell is patterned like a map

It is illegal in the State of Indiana to sell native species of turtles, and their subspecies, regardless of whether they are captive-bred or wild-caught. Native turtles include red-eared sliders, painted turtles, map turtles, common snapping turtles, and box turtles. Even if the turtle is not native to Indiana, the FDA prohibits the selling of turtles with a shell under four (4) inches in length in an effort to prevent contact with turtles carrying the Salmonella bacteria.
Depends on the species. Red eared sliders can grow to about a foot and other sliders can grow a simular size. Many painted turtles will grow about nine inches (however southern painted turtles usually stay slightly smaller). Sea turtles (which are not really available in the pet trade), most species of snapping turtles, and most species of tortoises grow many feet long. Unlike mammals, male turtles stay smaller than female turtles so they generally make better pets. The smaller the turtle the less space, time changing tanks, food, etc. it consumes. Musk turtles, male map turtles, and male painted turtles tend to be the smaller adult turtles.
