  • Pink Belly Side Necked Turtles for Sale – The Perfect Combo of Exotic Looks and Easy Care

    Looking for a turtle that actually lives up to the hype? One that’s striking, interactive, hardy, and just downright fun to keep? Meet the Pink Belly Side Necked Turtle — a true showstopper in the reptile world.

    This species is one of the most vibrant freshwater turtles you’ll ever lay eyes on. With a jet-black carapace, a soft pink-to-rosy belly, and their signature sideways neck tuck (instead of pulling straight into their shell), these turtles bring uniqueness and beauty to any collection or aquatic setup.

    At Kingsman Exotic Reptiles, our Pink Belly Side Necked Turtles for sale are captive bred, well-started, and thriving. No imports. No stress. Just bold, beautiful turtles ready to thrive in your tank or pond.

    🐢 What Are Pink Belly Side Necked Turtles?

    Scientific Name: Emydura subglobosa
    Common Names: Pink Belly Sideneck, Red Belly Sideneck, Pink Belly Turtle

    These turtles originate from Papua New Guinea and Northern Australia, where they live in slow-moving rivers, swamps, and lagoons. They’re known for their semi-aquatic lifestyle and that signature “side neck” trait — instead of pulling their head straight in like sliders or cooters, they tuck it sideways under their shell. It’s a fascinating defensive behavior that also gives them that slick, streamlined appearance.

    🔥 Why They’re So Popular:

    • Vivid pink or reddish plastron (belly) that becomes richer with age

    • Smooth dark gray to black carapace that contrasts beautifully

    • Friendly and interactive — they’ll come to the glass at feeding time

    • One of the easiest exotic turtles to care for in captivity

    • A perfect option for planted aquariums or large turtle tanks

    📏 Sizes & Availability

    At Kingsman, we currently have Pink Belly Side Necked Turtles for sale in these sizes:

    • Hatchlings (1.5–2 inches): Small and vibrant, already feeding well

    • Juveniles (2.5–4 inches): Ideal starter size for beginners

    • Sub-adults (5–6 inches): More colorful, near full size

    They grow at a moderate pace and typically max out around 6–8 inches as adults, making them ideal for medium-sized aquariums or larger natural setups.

    🥬 Diet – What Do Pink Belly Sidenecks Eat?

    These turtles are omnivores, meaning they eat both protein and plant matter. Their natural diet includes aquatic insects, small fish, algae, and aquatic plants — and in captivity, they’re not picky at all.

    Recommended Diet:

    • Turtle pellets (Mazuri, Zoo Med, Reptomin)

    • Earthworms, bloodworms, mealworms

    • Feeder fish (occasionally)

    • Duckweed, water hyacinth, romaine lettuce

    • Chopped veggies like squash or carrots

    💡 Feeding Tip: Feed a mix of protein and vegetation 5–6 times a week. Juveniles need more protein, while adults should have a more balanced diet to prevent obesity.

    🏡 Habitat Setup for Pink Belly Side Necked Turtles

    These are fully aquatic turtles that love to swim, dive, and explore. A good enclosure mimics a tropical aquatic environment — think warm water, good flow, and lots of open space.

    Tank Setup Guide:

    Feature Ideal Setup
    Tank Size 55 gallons minimum for a single adult
    Water Depth 10–16 inches minimum — deeper is better
    Filtration Strong canister filter or HOB (turtle-grade)
    Water Temp 76–80°F (use submersible heater)
    Basking Spot Yes! Provide a dry dock with UVB and heat lamp
    Basking Temp 88–92°F
    Lighting Full-spectrum + UVB required for healthy shell growth
    Substrate Sand or bare bottom for easy cleaning
    Décor Driftwood, rocks, floating plants, turtle platforms

    They love open swim space, so don’t overcrowd the tank. If you’re planning on a community tank, they do well with other peaceful aquatic turtles of similar size — but give everyone enough room to avoid food or basking fights.

    🧬 Behavior & Personality

    Pink Belly Sidenecks are friendly, active, and inquisitive. You’ll often see them swimming, basking, or floating under plants like little reptilian submarines.

    They’re not skittish or shy like some other species. In fact, they’ll learn to recognize you and come up to the glass during feeding time. They’re not really “handle me” turtles, but they’re incredible display pets that are just as fun to watch as they are to care for.
