How do you look after a pet Terrapin?

The terrapin (turtle) is a difficult pet to care for, but not impossible. He (or she) needs access to a wet area and a dry one, like a little lake (a netted area for outside) or a fish tank. This would need a filter, basking area, lights and warm water. You can find food for turtles in your local pet store. its better if you buy them when they are older as they have less chance of dying.

Is it illegal to have a pet snapping turtle even if its a baby?

In most states, no. A few states do prohibit some species or all species of snapping turtle from being kept as pets. They are most commonly prohibited in states where they are not naturally occurring, due to fear that pet owners will tire of them and release them into the environment. This fear is probably justified - snapping turtles can grow quite large, must be handled with great care, and require significant effort and expense to maintain, which makes them poor pets, generally.

If you are in doubt whether snapping turtles are legal in your state and don't want to pay a lawyer to look it up, you might contact a seller. They often know which states allow snapping turtles as pets or not.

Indian flapshell turtles prefer to spend most of their time in freshwater, although occasionally they will bask in a heating lamp that their owner provides for them. Make sure the tank is big enough to accommodate them and that there is water in it and a heat source somewhere in the tank. The water in their tank should always be between 77 and 87 degrees Fahrenheit. Clean their habitat at least once a week.

Would a baby turtle be okay if it dropped on the floor?

It is extremely ill-advised that you drop any turtle intentionally, however, baby turtles are often underestimated for their quick speed even outside of their aquarium habitat, and without careful watching will not hesitate to leap out of your hands. Survivability and whether the turtle sustains any kind of injury depends on the size of the baby turtle, the healthiness of the turtle's carapace and plastron, and the height at which it was dropped. The smaller and more infant-sized the turtle is, the higher the chance of damage to the turtle since babies are still developing their immature carapaces. The carapace is the outer top shell of the turtle, and if your baby turtle is in excellent health from clean water and being exposed daily to UV light and heat, than chances are that the turtle's carapace shell and it's lower body plastron would be hardy enough to survive even a drop to concrete falling at heights of 4 or 5 feet. Fortunately, turtles are instinctively smart enough to withdraw their head, arms, and legs into their shell as they fall from the air, minimizing damage to the turtle's other body parts and allowing their shell to absorb most of the impact. Your baby turtle will most likely be in shock if it lands on any kind hard surface, so immediately return him to the tank and place him on top a dry area, preferably under the light where the turtle can bask. Don't splash, but drip small beads of water over his head and allow the turtle to regain it's senses. Although it should be obvious, keep in mind that any kind of fall from extreme heights exponentially puts the little turtle in danger.

How do you tell if a turtles ready to lay eggs?

It is really hard to tell just by how she looks. If you really focus, you can notice the back of her shell is wider then usual. The best way to really know is after she has mated, she will spend alot of time basking and being inactive. She also will eat less then usual, but make sure you encorage her to eat. Using treats like live earth worms and feeder fish helps. She'll also wants to be alone so it is very important you separate the male away from her until she lays the eggs. You should only touch her when you have to. You also need to keep the water very clean and warm. Make 5 inches of soil in the tank's land area so she can lay the eggs. She'll be doing alot of digging and sniffing in the last 2 weeks before she lays the eggs. She'll hold them for about 80 days. She can lay from 2 to 25 eggs!
