Question
I WANT A SMALL TURTLE THAT DOESN'T GROW BIG AS AN ADULT.WOULD REEVES TURTLES MAKE GOOD PETS?
THANK YOU!  

Answer
Reeves are fine pets, but like all turtles have some specific needs that still must be met- such as a big, heated tank with good light and filtration.

Here are a couple good care sheets for the Reeves:
