Ive had my turtles for about 5 years now. We bought them from a pet store and they were about nickle sized!! Now one is bigger then my hand, and the other one is a little smaller!!!
WE AT FIRST HAD A 20 GALLON TANK, THEN THEY GREW OUT OF THAT!
THEN AN 80 GALLON TANK....IT WAS HUGE! AND THEY LOVED IT! THEY LOVE A LOT OF WATER!
THE 80 GALLON BROKE
AND HAD TO DEMOTE THEM TO A 20 GALLON WITH BARLEY ANY WATER.WE MOVED ACROSS COUNTRY WITH THEM IN THAT TERRIBLE 2010 WINTER STORM, LEFT A LITTLE WATER AND THEY JUST SAT. TILL WE GOT TO A HOTEL, AND LET THEM WARM UP AND CRAWL AROUND! THEN PUT THEM IN THE BATHTUB OVER NIGHT!
THEY STARTED GETTING TOO BIG FOR THE 80 GALLON TANK SO NOW WE MADE THEM A HUGE SET UP =)
AND THEY LOVE IT
