Petco has them about 4 to 5 inch sizes for $34.95 and the larger 5 to
6" is about 5 bucks more..........in the USA is against the law to
sell turtles smaller than IIRC 4" due to salmonella risks.....I
remember as a youngin, all the stores in town like the old 5 and 10
cent stores (Woolco, JJ Newberries, and Kresgees used to sell them
with fancy painted designs on their shells and the little turtle bowl
with an island complete with a plastic palm tree. IIRC the turtles
cost about half a buck back then...... Come on down to my pond and
get all you want in all sizes..........
