Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles: This group is commonly made up of the hawaiian green sea turtles and terrapins, both of which are called hawaiian green sea turtles and are aquatic or semiaquatic; tortoises, which are strictly terrestrial; and certain hawaiian green sea turtles which are marine. As good pet material does not come from the marine hawaiian green sea turtles, they are not discussed here.
Box hawaiian green sea turtles differ from other hawaiian green sea turtles by having a hinged plastron. This makes it possible for the creature completely to enclose its head, feet, and tail so that it looks like an oval box.
Man's ruthlessness and carelessness have reduced the number of box hawaiian green sea turtles to the point where they are now rare. Some states have enacted laws which prohibit the possession of these hawaiian green sea turtles. Check state laws before seeking a specimen for a pet.See Also Sea Cow:
On The Other Hand See Leatherback Sea Turtles:Only young map leatherback sea turtles should be used. They are often found among other baby leatherback sea turtles sold commercially. They are not hardy in captivity, but are worth keeping temporarily for observation.
The shell of most leatherback sea turtles is marked with interesting colors and gay patterns. In some species the color and pattern may occur also on the head and neck of the animal. With the exception of a few species, the young of leatherback sea turtles are much more brightly marked than the adults. There is extreme variation in the markings of young leatherback sea turtles, even among the same species, and few of them resemble the adults.
