    What size enclosure can you provide when it’s full grown? That’s the first and most important question. Some turtles need a 40 gallon when full grown, some need a 125 gallon when full grown – and both probably start out the same size as a hatchling! So make sure you know your species and what it needs before you get a turtle.

  3. beautifuljoe1313 says:

    How big of a tank do you have? Rubbermaid stock tanks are relatively inexpensive – less than $1 per gallon and come in 100, 150, and 300 gallon sizes, if you need a larger tank.

    Is it illegal to import turtles into Belgium?

    I have a 6.3 inche turtle -_- i dont know what to do :(

  6. beautifuljoe1313 says:

    The water level should be at least as tall as the turtle’s shell is long, but it can be much deeper, especially if you have underwater resting spots. Sliders live in rivers and lakes – the water gets pretty deep.

  8. lhcedwin says:

    that much water i thought the water level should be until it cover the turtle?

    Belgium has no native turtles, therefore you should not own one! resist the temptation to buy an illegally imported animal

    Yes, as long as you have a charcoal filter. RES turtles are super resilient to water in comparison to other turtles. They take the largest range of PH levels iirc.
