Should I get a short or long necked turtle?

[Mattt]

Hey guys,

I'm planning on getting a pet turtle over summer but I'm unsure wether I should get a short necked or long necked turtle. Please help me decide, or if you think I should get both? My tank is 60 cm long and 30 cm wide. Thanks

hi, its up to you but the average adult turtle needs at least a 4 foot (preferebly bigger or even better a pond)

which one is more friendly?

i personally like short necks better than long necks.. long necks look ugly.. From personal experiance i've found short necks to be really friendly. Good Luck.

No turtle will fit in a 2ft tank, I've been told 5ft is the minimum.
