It is not recommended to house terrapins and fish in the same tank as terrapins are known to eat fish.

It is best to keep them in separate tanks to ensure the well-being of both species.

A yellow-bellied slider turtle can typically stay out of water for several hours to a few days, depending on factors like temperature, humidity, and their health.

How long can a terrapin stay out of water?

Yes, terrapins live in water, although if housing in a fish tank they need somewhere they can get up and out of the water to take a breath and sleep. They do not breathe underwater like fish as they do not have gills but can swim, much like humans, underwater by holding their breath, they they therefore need a shore, or some rock formation where they can come up for air, rest and breathe normally. Small terrapins can hold their breath for a few minutes, larger ones for up to 12 minutes and larger wild sea turtles, much longer.
