The "best" turtle to keep depends on personal preference, experience and available resources. Here are some common and relatively easy to care for turtle species:
1. Red-eared slider turtle (Red-eared slider turtle): Red-eared turtles are very popular pet turtles because they are adaptable and easy to care for. They are relatively cheap and easy to obtain, and can be kept indoors or outdoors.
2. Chinese tortoise: The Chinese tortoise is a gentle and friendly tortoise, and it is also one of the turtle species often chosen by beginners. They have low environmental requirements, strong adaptability, and good appetite.
3. Yellow-legged tortoise: The yellow-legged tortoise is a medium-sized tortoise that is widely kept as a pet. They are relatively easy to care for, have relatively low requirements for food and habitat, and also have good ornamental value.
4. African snapping turtle: The African snapping turtle is a large tortoise, but they are relatively easier to raise than other large turtle species. They have a gentle temperament, are tolerant of food choices, and have relatively low environmental requirements.
It is important, before selecting and keeping any turtle, to ensure that a suitable habitat, proper food and nutritional supplementation, and necessary veterinary care are provided. In addition, it is important to understand the behavior and special needs of turtles to ensure they receive good care and living conditions.
