Freshwater tortoises have higher and more rounded shell shapes than pet freshwater turtles, and unlike turtles, they do not swim. This manual instructs on best places to obtain turtles and tortoises, what to feed them, how to set up a minipond, how to understand the animal's body language, and even how to breed them. There are tips on dealing with problems, including skin shedding, and some animals' tendency to hide or to bite one another when kept as pairs. Here is everything that beginning pet owners need to know about the care of these interesting reptiles.
