CARE SHEET: VIEW CARE SHEET
BASIC INFORMATION:
Peninsula Cooters are a very hardy species. Mainly herbivores, juveniles will eat some fish and insects, but become more vegetarian with age. Pellets and greens, along with occasional fruits, are all they need to thrive.
This species is an excellent community tank turtle. They love to bask, especially in groups. Adults are very good outdoor pond turtles in summer months, or year round in warmer climates. Peninsula Cooters are an excellent choice for just getting started with turtles, or for any keepers who want to see some "pretty green" in their community set ups.

- Photos and requests: The Turtles or Tortoises pictured on our web site may or may not be the actual animal available. The photos do represent the species,
and the health and quality of the animals we ship. Sorry, but it is not always practical to provide photos of every individual turtle (certain exceptions may apply).
Photos, descriptions and care sheets posted on our web site are the exclusive property of Turtle Source, and may not be used or reused without our specific, written permission.

- Contact: Email is the best way to reach us. If you have specific questions/requests, feel free to ask; we will respond accordingly. If a phone call makes more sense for those who type slowly (like me) we can be reached Monday - Friday from 9:30 AM - 7:00 PM, and on Saturdays from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM at: (239) 220 - 4280.
Remember, our care sheets answer most commonly asked husbandry questions.
- Temperature Sexing I have noticed some temperature sexed turtles and tortoises being offered. I know some breeders who actually incubate a few species that way. For the most part, commonly produced species are not incubated that way - some species can not even be incubated for gender. Many species require considerable age to determine gender. We offer very few temperature sexed species - and these come from very reputable, long established breeders. If I can sex an animal I will. If I can make a good guess, I will tell you just that; and if I can't determine gender (usually because the animal is just not old enough) I will tell you that too.
- We can not do trades. If you want to sell turtles or tortoises simply offer them to us.
- Please be aware of your own local wildlife laws and regulations. No shipments will be knowingly sent in violation of any state or federal laws. Please do not even ask.
- Sorry, we do not export, but we do work with several experienced exporters who may purchase from us for export (dealers only).
- Please note that your failure to read our terms and conditions, whether intentional or accidental will under no circumstances be reason to consider them altered or void.
