    Not if you live in Massachusetts, they're illegal here and native. Also, White's are tropical while the spotted turtle, Clemmys guttata is a temperate zone species that does not take kindly to warmer tempertures. Captive bred babies probably wouldn't be safe with a White's any way.

    Oh but is there anything that you can keep with them?

    Spotted turtles? Maybe fish and treefrogs found in the same areas.

    What about gray tree frogs, spotted turtles, and a small (around 3-4 inch fish) fish from that area I am sure there are some.

    That might work, but I am not going to endorse it. Spotted turtles are much bigger than gray treefrogs and may view one as a potential meal. It might work with a smaller turtle, but there may be trouble with an adult. Also check your state laws, spotted turtles are illegal to possess in a few different states.

    Legal in Colorado. The turtles get to 5 inches but are really slow growers and the frogs get to 2 inches I think. If I got a yearling spotted turtle I think it would be ok.
