my alligator snaping turtle is in a 55 gallon tank i have it filled to the top becuase he seems to have neutral bounse when he goes up for air and seems to be doing fine in it i have the tank water at 85 degrees and he isnt so big but is it alright if my tank is full becuase he just grabs onthe plants whille he goes for air he seems to love it. i dont kill the fish in there i let him catch them on his own is this alright for him for now becuase i know when he gets older he will need a bigger tank so im thinking about a 150 gallon tank if that should be alright.
