i would go with a wider tank. more room to swim around in instead of going back and forth in a long tank

I would get the longest and widest tank as possible as opposed to tall...i haven't noticed my turtle using the bottom of the tank nearly as much as the top, where air is easily accessible. Big tanks are fun, i'll tell you that much :wink:

You want one that's longer and wider as opposed to taller. It gives turtles more horizontal swimming space.
