Product Description
Reeves turtles are one of the world's smallest turtles, Also called the Three Keeled Pond Turtle, they are one of the many amazing Asian turtle species that are threatened by over collecting for the Chinese food market. This is the same friendly, sharp featured, little turtle that was very popular in the pet trade in the 1970's and before. Thankfully, we and several other US turtle breeders have been successfully hatching them for many years now. They are very personable and friendly little turtles that do fine in smaller set ups - think of them as the ideal turtle for a small home or apartment... As adults, a pair will do fine in a 20 gallon "long" or larger aquarium.
Reeves Turtles, (Chinemys Reevesii), are a lover of shallow water that like to bask. They are omnivorous, feeding readily on pellets, aquatic plants, fruits and greens, along with worms, insects, fish and meat.
With a maximum size of only 4 - 5 inches, Reeves Turtles make excellent first turtles. They are a very hardy species, with lots of personality, making them fine additions to any home wanting to bring a little bit of the natural world inside to appreciate and enjoy.

Reeves Turtle Review
I recently ordered a Hatchling Reeves Turtle from The Turtle Source, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! Everything went smoothly from the moment I placed the order to the safe arrival of my baby turtle. The packaging was secure and ensured my little one arrived healthy and active. We’ve only had our new turtle for a day, but he’s already full of energy and curiosity—such a joy to watch! I also had a question about the gender, so I reached out to customer service. They responded the same day with helpful information and even suggested some great name ideas, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, I’m very impressed with the quality of service and care The Turtle Source provides. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a new shelled friend!

So active
When I opened the package all I see is something moving around. When I opened it all I see is my new baby moving around trying to get out. He is so active and energetic. That’s what I love about him

Reeves turtle hatchling
Turtle arrived safely and as expected. He is now living a good life and we named him Trip.. we caught him rolling around in his food. We said he’s a trip.. hence his name.. we love him. Might get a second one.
