what are the different types of turtles??? i don't get it .. i was recently in europe and my little sister had been bought some. They were put inside a plant and were given some lettuce every day. Apparently though, one day i saw them to have crawled outside and were in the heat and so put them under the tap to refresh them, but apparently that's dangerous; why's that??

I assume swimming ones would be more exciting than standing still, eating and then shitting and pissing on themselves ones that I experienced.
