In America do you call tortoises turtles? In Britain turtles are the ones that live in the water apart from laying their eggs in the sand. Tortoises are the land ones.

Some turtles, such as the painted turtle, or red eared sliders are mostly water turtles, but can spend short periods out of the water as well. I had a pet painted turtle for about 12 years. He is now a class pet at the elementary school in the town where my parents live.

Tortoises live pretty much exlusively on land. And sea turtles live in the ocean except when the females lay their eggs on the beach.

Hope you don't mind the turtle lesson of the day. :)
