Turtles (will a 90g make a good home for any types?)

Post by Mek0ng »

Would a 90g make a good home for any type of turtle? I know hardly anything about turtles...

No, it depends on which type of turtle you are wanting to get, for instance, the fly river turtle needs at least a 300g when fully grown!

best bet would to build a indoor pond once fully grown its rather cheep if done correctly ..... but mean time you could keep them in there until they reach maturity..

Some grow so slowly that you may be able to do it.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

Look under water turtles to look up different species....the site sells the turtles and does have some good information, but you would probably have to look up specific gallons needed...

Give it a shot..there are many species! You might get lucky and find a turtle you could care for?????

Alot of the map, stinkpot, and musk turtles only get to be about 7 inches when adults so those would make wanderfull tank tutles.
