About Us

We’re the Turtle Owner team! We created TurtleOwner.com as a way to share everything we know and learn about turtles.

Our team is formed by 6 core members, each one with more than 10 years each of experiences with pet turtles. One of our core members is also a biologist, he is usually the one that provides most of the scientific data in our articles.
