FAQs

Are terrapins legal to buy or sell in the UK?

Terrapins are illegal to buy, sell, or release in the UK as they are classified as alien invasive species. Since August 2016, their trade has been banned to protect native wildlife and ecosystems from the ecological risks posed by terrapins if introduced into the wild, with penalties for illegal activity.

Is a terrapin considered a reptile?

Yes, a terrapin is considered a reptile. They are semi-aquatic reptiles closely related to turtles, sharing characteristics such as being cold-blooded and having scaly skin.

Can terrapins survive well in the UK?

Terrapins generally cannot survive well in the UK because the climate is too cold, especially when temperatures fall below 18°C. This cold environment hampers their ability to move, feed, and properly hibernate, threatening their survival if released into the wild.

Do terrapins make good pets?

Terrapins can be kept as pets but require specialised, high-level care, including a suitable aquatic environment, proper heating and lighting, and an appropriate diet. They grow large and are active, making them unsuitable as low-maintenance pets for casual owners.
