I am from the UK and I was wondering if I can get terrapins. i have looked on all the websites of close by pet stores and none of them know where to get them from.

Look for pet shops dealing in exotic animals.– JADCommented May 17, 2018 at 14:08

2I made some minor wording changes to your question. As originally written it was a shopping question which generally don't work well on StackExchange sites. The basic premise remains the same, but now it is a better fit for the site. See help asking for more details– James JenkinsCommented May 17, 2018 at 14:40

an other common name is red-eared slider so if you ask the petshops for this you might find it.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-eared_slider– trond hansenCommented May 17, 2018 at 18:45

I have found out that there are many species which you can purchase legally in the UK, it was just the pet stores around where I live do not have them.
It looks like this breed is banned in the UK and EU, so there is no legal way to get this type of turtle in a pet shop, and it is not legal to breed red eared terrapins either: https://www.petgazette.biz/11350-red-eared-sliders-banned-uk/
