Calculate the minimum tank size for your turtle.
The general rule is 10 gallons of water per inch of shell length for the first turtle, plus 10 gallons for each additional turtle. For example, a 6-inch turtle needs at least a 60-gallon tank.
Yes. This is the minimum recommended size. Larger is always better, especially for active species.
No. This is water volume only. You also need a dry basking area with UVB and heat lamps.
