Attractive Unique Skin-colored Turtles

My dad and I have kept a wood turtle for a long time. It's unique because its skin is orange. Interestingly, this turtle has a relatively high level of intelligence and is easy to get along with. However, caring for it isn't easy, so my father always helps me.

About Wood Turtle Care Guide

The Wood Turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) is not the result of a crossbreed between turtles, but rather an indigenous breed of turtle. This type of turtle has a unique way of eating: kicking the ground using its chest to attract worms to the surface. It also has a hammer carved into its carapace. On the other hand, female wood turtles usually look for a place to lay their eggs in late spring.
