For a Turtle who's Shell is about a half an inch wider all around then a golf ball. He grows quickly. In May when we found him his shell was a bit larger then a quarter. I'm going out this evening so a quick reply would be great! Thanks Razz

If it's a red ear slider get as big a tank as you can afford! They grow extremely quickly and need lots of space. I wouldn't recomend anything smaller than a 55 gallon- anything bigger would be great. Laughing

Go big, Very BIG.
Why keep upgrading when you can be done in one shot. I finally have a 90 gal after two years. I think this will do for l0ng time.

It will cost more to buy two or three tanks then to just buy one now. Save up and just commit.
