    Coolest turtle

    What is the coolest turtle? Ive heard that the eastern long neck is most common but a bit dull and doesnt have a great personality. I want a turtle that is full of energy and excitment and a turtle that gets used to people. Anyone know of a pretty easy turtle to maintain like that?
