Hey everyone.
I've got a 150 gallon tank with a 2 year old res and an 8 month old yellow belly. Its got a great filter and Mega ray lamp. Theres a log running the length of the tank for basking. I found 2x 4" yellow bellies at a pet store that someone had brought in that are in great health. Just wondering if it would be wise to add those two others.

Thanks

how big are they?. over time, they will outgrow it and you will need to upgrade. the 10 gallon rule which says 10 gallons per inch on a turtle. a 2 year old and a 8 moth old turtle dont seem very big so that tank should sustain for a while.
pets: 1 res

male: bought around a cold day in march 2008. stubborn yet also helpful
