How much do aquatic/pet turtles usually cost?
Answers:
A slider is the cheapest turtle that you can buy and those are about $10 to $15 or higher.heat lamp and bulb is about $20..tanks start at $10 and a top is about $10.floating logs are about $5 to $15.food is about $5 .water filter to keep water clean runs about $10 to $20 (the walmart ones break really easily when it comes to cleaning up after turtles)..i think that that is all that is needed for a slider..well you could get a water heater making sure that it doesn't get too hot in the water and those are about $10 to $20
5 $
the turtles themselves aren't all that expensive, but a proper home for them IS. If you are considering getting a turtle, please please PLEASE do a lot of research on them first, including visits to the store to see how much it will all cost.
you can get a red-eared slider in the 12-20 dollar ange at most U.S. pet chain stores
From $5 to several hundred depending on the species. You'd get a better answer calling your local pet shop.
They can get quite expensive and you have to have a lot of equipment for them. Turtles cannot just be put in a bowl with some water and a rock. They need 10 gallons of water for each inch of shell. You need a UVA/UVB light, basking light, food, and more.

Find out the local laws of them first. Here in NC it is illegal to sell turtles of any type because of the high risk factor of salmonella. You cannot buy a turtle alone in NC but you can buy the setup for around $35 and they will GIVE you a turtle to put in it.
