They are almost totally aquatic but need dry land to bask on during sunny days. Still waters and rivers in the midlands and southern England support the largest terrapin populations. Snapper turtles and European pond terrapins have also been spotted along our waterways. • There are a few species of terrapin that are present in British waterways. The most common is the red-eared terrapin, which although originally native to Britain around 8,000 years ago has now returned. Many were transported from the USA as pets. • When the pets grew to the size of a dinner plate and developed substantial strength, many were irresponsibly released into the wild. • Can you keep them in your garden? • Aquatic turtles need an aerated water source, so they can live happily in a garden pond.
