The Pet Turtle is a members-only pet that can be used on land and underwater. It was first introduced on August 2, 2012, and it was formerly sold from adoption icons in Claws 'N Paws, Flippers 'N Fins, and Pets Only Party until February 16, 2017. The pet was re-released in the Choose a Pet menu on November 4, 2021. It returned on March 30, 2023, but left on May 26, 2023.
The pet turtle has a large, rounded head and a smaller shell with a whitish rim for a body. It can be customized with various colors, eyes, shell patterns, and either legs or flippers.

Turtles can be customized with flippers or legs, but they can still go underwater and on land with either choice.
Turtles were the first pet able to go on Land and Water.
As with most amphibious pets, the land accessories cannot be used underwater and vice versa.
When they were first released, they would automatically go to sleep when the player went idle for a short time, but that feature has since been removed. It can, however, still occur in the Play-As-Your-Pet Party.
The turtle's action when clicked (tucking into its shell and sliding) may be a reference to the Koopa Troopas from Super Mario Bros.
It was set for clearance in February 2017 and was removed from the Choose a Pet menu shortly afterwards, but its adoption icons were not removed until much later in 2017.
