Taking care of map turtles are more difficult to take care than other turtles. (except for snapping turtles) Map turtles should be taken care of a keeper who is experienced because taking care of map turtles are harder than other species. A map turtle has a higher nervous system than other turtles, and are sensible to water changes or condition. Map turtles only thrive well in very clean water, so you must get a strong fuilter if you are considering to get a map turtle.You also have to make sure to clean your tank often. Make sure that you set the tank and place it where it is quiet for they have a high nervous system. Make sure you do not put them near a place where it has very loud traffic, like near a window. The rest is just like taking care of other species. It would need a fuilter, a heater, a heat lamp(UVB and UVA), a basking platform (or just a place where it can bask), water that is deep, at least a 20gallon tank if you are going to keep 1 map turtle, or up to more than 100gallon if you are going to take care of more than 5 map turtles.
