Terrapins Can be bought from the UK, or shipped from abroad.

But the sad thing is, they are all cramped together when packaged, so

the life rate of when they arrive in the UK is very low.

You can find more information about them at the web-site in the Related Link., This is a trusted site and is very popular. I hope it helps :)

How long can a terrapin stay out of water?

Yes, terrapins live in water, although if housing in a fish tank they need somewhere they can get up and out of the water to take a breath and sleep. They do not breathe underwater like fish as they do not have gills but can swim, much like humans, underwater by holding their breath, they they therefore need a shore, or some rock formation where they can come up for air, rest and breathe normally. Small terrapins can hold their breath for a few minutes, larger ones for up to 12 minutes and larger wild sea turtles, much longer.


What are terrapins?

Living things are divided into a string of classifications: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Terrapins, which include turtles, which mainly live in water and tortoises, which primarily live on land, are of the class Reptilia, or reptiles. Similarly, Frogs and toads belong to the class Amphibia, or amphibians. Toads, which have fairly dry, rough skin, primarily live on land and frogs, which have moist and smooth skin live primarily in water. (Tree frogs are the major exception. They are frogs, but live mainly in trees, on land.)
