Are Terrapins sold in the UK?

Question

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.

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/

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.
