Depends on who you're going to give it to. If the person is an animal lover then, yes. But if they're not that plussed about animals, then no. Also, turtles can be quite expensive and they can live for a VERY long time, same as tortoises. Also, does that person really want a turtle, and is the person responsible and mature and loving enough to have a turtle. If so, then yes its fine. Does that person have time?

The answer is that pets of any sort, whether it is a cat, dog, or turtle, do not make good gifts unless you are sure that the recipient is expecting it and is aware of the responsibility and expense involved, has indicated a desire and willingness to take on the responsibility and expense, or you are willing to take the animal off their hands if the gift is a failure. Turtles are initially fun but if the person is a child they may lose interest and the constant cleaning of the habitat will become a neglected chore. Turtles can live a long time but reptiles and amphibians require specific living conditions and care.

Are mud turtles good pets for kids?

yes, they are. although I would not recommend turtles as a good kid pet anyway. if you are going to give your child a turtle, mud turtles are a good beginner turtle. as are box turtles. I have three turtles, a mud turtle, a box turtle, and a spotted turtle, and I am 13. Although it is also a question of how responsible you or your child is.
