Most basic digital cameras, unless you can manually set your shutter speed, automatically select the shutter speed that will give you the best exposure. If the light's not bright enough, the shutter will stay open longer to let in more light, and you'll get more blur. If you want a clear shot with a really basic camera, you can pull it off by having bright enough lighting, which can be tricky indoors, but that's the main thing that's going to cause blurry photos. If you're willing to spend a little money, look for a camera with a shutter priority setting, and set it for 1/250 sec. or faster. That's usually enough to freeze motion unless your turtle is really flying!
