Fish Tank animal-turtle

common name: Painted Turtle
scientific name: Chrysemys picta 
preferred habitat: In freshwater
reproduction: nesting is done by females only, and can lay 5 clutches a year
special needs: in a tank, there must be both an underwater part, and land part.

I chose this animal because i love turtles, and wanted one that would stay small.



In the tank will be a land part as well as underwater part.
