Your question can not be surely answered unless you tell us what kind of turtle you are asking about. Most turtles do not need sand to live but a few do. At a pet shop you are most likely to get a variety of turtle that does not require sand, but asking the pet shop for that sort of info is a good idea. We have a red-eared slider that we caught in our pond when his shell was the side of a quarter. He's lived in our fish tank for over two years now and he's about 4 inches across. The tank has the usual gravel bottom, a ledge for him to climb out of the water, and a few fish (also from the pond) but no sand.
