Well I'm Tiffany, I don't have any turtles but a coworker is trying to find a home for a friend of hers 2. I'm not 100% they are in fact RES. So far I was told they were shipped in, come with a "really big" tank and will only grow as big as the tank

I'm sure that spiel has been heard a time or two around here before. But sounds like they are already quite large and she's pretty sure have red in the name. I have always liked turtles and talked myself out of them each time because of the lifespan and habitat size but this has got me re considering. I live in MN so would have to do an indoor setup and I'd prefer a male if she has one, I don't want both. Thinking we could setup a stock tank in my basement. Here to do some more indepth research before I make a decision. I do already have a houseful of animals, 3 pit bulls, 2 ferrets, a cat, iguana, ball python, hognose, feeder mice and several aquariums, 2 saltwater nanos, a 135 gallon piranha and a 12 gallon freshwater community tank.
