Turtles and Tortoises

The average weight of a green turtle can range from 200 to 500 pounds, with males typically being smaller and lighter than females. However, larger individuals weighing over 700 pounds have been recorded.

Tortoises are typically solitary animals and do not form social groups. They may come together during mating season or in specific habitats with abundant resources, but they do not exhibit group behavior or social interactions like some other species.

Turtles are primarily herbivores and omnivores, so they can eat small amounts of cooked chicken as a source of protein. However, it should not be a major part of their diet as they require other nutrients from fruits, vegetables, and commercial turtle pellets. High amounts of protein from chicken can lead to health issues for turtles.

Turtles use their claw to rip apart vegetables and fruit. They are also used to borrow in the dirt.

turtle don't have tails at all.right?

I'm guessing that they cost about 25$. And remamber; I'm just guessing. They usually dont sell turtle tanks so you would have to buy a fish tank, or you could just go on www.kijiji.ca and look up cheap ones.. y turtle has a fish tank and it loves it, you would also need a basking area, lights, food(of course) rocks, and pretend or real plants!

However, turtle shells should not be painted. The paint prevents the shell from growing with the turtle, and it amounts to slow suffocation and death for the painted turtle.

Alligator snapping turtles are larger and have much stronger bites. Alligator snapping turtle also live longer than common snapping turtles. Alligator snapping turtles can live to be 100 at the longest while the common snapping turtle lives to be around 70 at the maximum. Alligator snapping turtles have smaller shells and bigger heads. Common snapping turtles have the oppisite.

The average height of a full grown turtle can vary depending on the species, but most turtles measure between 4 to 12 inches in height at the shell. In terms of weight, adult turtles typically weigh between 5 to 50 pounds, again depending on the species.

Yes, many species of tortoises are endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and the illegal pet trade. It is important to protect these ancient reptiles through conservation efforts to prevent their further decline.

Turtles eat a variety of foods depending on their species, but common dietary items include leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, insects, and commercial turtle pellets. It's important to provide a balanced diet to ensure they receive proper nutrition and maintain good health. Additionally, offering occasional treats like mealworms or earthworms can be a great source of protein for turtles.

Marine turtles typically live in saltwater environments, while freshwater turtles live in freshwater habitats. Marine turtles have flippers adapted for swimming long distances in the ocean, while freshwater turtles tend to have webbed feet for navigating in ponds, rivers, and lakes. Behaviorally, marine turtles migrate long distances between feeding and nesting grounds, while freshwater turtles are more sedentary in their habits.

Leatherback sea turtles are known to live in all major oceans, primarily in tropical and temperate regions. They can be found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, often traveling long distances between nesting and foraging grounds. They are known to nest on beaches in tropical areas.

Penny turtles eat a variety of plant material, insects, and small aquatic animals in their natural habitat. It's important for their diet to be balanced and include vegetables, fruits, and commercial turtle pellets when kept as pets. Make sure to provide a varied and nutritious diet to keep them healthy.

Turtles are capable of sleeping both in water and on land. They typically find a safe and secluded spot, where they can rest without disturbance. During sleep, their metabolic rate and activity levels decrease, helping them conserve energy.

The Spotted Turtle small turtle with dark green carapace which is usually spotted with yellow, round spots along with the head, neck and limbs. Sometimes, older individuals spots lacking on shell but still on head, neck and limbs and orange blotch behind eyes.

I would not recommend keeping them together. Turtle harvest many types of bacteria that your fish are not used to. Your fish would probably become ill and die trying to fight the bacteria. Also, your turtle (depending on size) could easily kill a fish, whether on purpose or unintentional. I would suggest separate tanks. Good luck

Male alligators can produce a deep, bellowing sound called a "bellow roar" to attract females during mating season. This sound is produced by expelling air from their lungs and vibrating their vocal cords. The bellow roar can be heard over long distances and is used by male alligators to establish dominance and attract mates.

Some turtles, such as tortoises, can eat grass as part of their diet. However, not all species of turtles eat grass, as their diet can vary depending on their species and habitat. It is important to research the specific dietary needs of the turtle species you are caring for.

If turtles lay eggs underwater, the eggs will not survive as they require oxygen to develop properly. Turtles typically lay their eggs on land in a nest to ensure the eggs have access to oxygen and the right conditions for incubation.

It depends on your local conservation laws. However, before you dig up the eggs, remember that the turtle will have chosen a good (even if ti is unsafe) site to lay them form the point of view of having the eggs incubate properly. If possible can you make the place safe for them until they hatch - that would be best for them.

A tortoise moves by using its four legs to walk slowly on land. They are not known for their speed, so they typically move at a slow and steady pace. Tortoises also have a protective shell that they can retract into for safety.

The bog turtle was listed as a federally threatened species in 1997. It was also designated as endangered in states like New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania around the same time due to habitat loss, poaching, and other threats.
