eastern long neck turtles are probably the most common and easyest to keep

just provide all the things you would for frogs except you want mostly water and a basking spot although liveing where you do it shouldnt be a problem.

one important thing alot of people forget is that aside from the land area a log or rock formation that sits out of the water is important as it gives them and easy to reach dry spot the is very close to the water so they can just jump right in when they feel threatened.

as far as care sheets google it man there are hundreds.
