Is there way to create multiple turtles using a loop?

Question

For example:

import turtle

num = 1
for i in range (10):
    num = turtle.Turtle()
    num += 1

I want to make 10 turtles named from 1 to 10. A code like this just makes one turtle called num before kicking up an error (TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +=: 'Turtle' and 'int'). Is there a way to make the 10 turtles named from 1 to 10 without manually defining them all?

Please share the entire error message. Have you done any research? — AMC, Feb 26 '20 at 19:28

What does this call the turtles? For example what would replace the 'abc' in this: abc.fd(30) – Jalco28 Feb 27 '20 at 07:41
`num[0]`, `num[1]` etc. Seriously, if you don't know that, you should get a Python tutorial. – Błotosmętek Feb 27 '20 at 08:40

import turtle

# Create a list of turtles
turtles = [turtle.Turtle() for _ in range(10)]

Instead of num = 1, it should be num = 0, but appending works better because num is just simply counting in this case and doesn't have a relationship with num = turtle.Turtle().
