Well, if you had to guestimate how much in all of what a turtle needs?

I'm willing to live off ramen for a year to make baby turtle happy.

when he gets larger you will need a outdoors pond with a screen over it so animals do not steal him but for now he needs a tank ot u need to have what u have im in outside during the day in a safe palce and bring him inside at night

That's an awesome little sheet Straykingfisher! I love it!

The tank, filter, basking dock or rock and UV/heat light, which are the most important components, cost about $200 total if you get them on sale or off ebay and the like. You can add decorations and river rock later as you get more cash.

Best bet is to get a bigger tank than needed for that little guy so you don't have to upgrade within a year and dish out more money.

What you have is good to start, but will only be good for another month or so. Keep him warm and keep him fed until you get him something bigger.
