The correct temperature to keep MOST, not all turtles, is at 81 degrees Fahrenheit or 29 degrees Celsius
How much gravel for 200 gallon tank
most pet store sell turtles fairly cheap, although this is not a cheap pet to own, they require a source of uv, an aquarium, a heat lamp, water filters, and other things. you are looking at a very basic enclosure to last about a year running about $100-$150, as I said this will only last for about a year then the turtle will out grow the inviroment and need a bigger tank. also if you plan to get a turtle, the filtration needs to be at least 3 times that of the tank, so if you have a 30 gallon tank you need a 90 gallon filter, or 50 gallon tank 150 gallon filter. they are very messy eater's and poop alot, so it's very hard to keep the water clean without proper filtration. while most pet stores sell turles for $5 to $15 that is the smallest of the expenses.
Yes that is big enough but you will need a lid so it doesnt escape
A 10 gallon tank is too small for most turtle species, as they require ample space to swim and bask. It is not recommended to keep turtles in tanks this small, as it can lead to health and behavioral issues. If you're considering getting a turtle, research the specific species' habitat requirements to ensure you can provide a suitable environment for their well-being.
It's recommended to perform a partial water change of about 25% every 2-4 weeks in a 29-gallon fish tank. Additionally, you should clean the filter once a month and regularly remove any debris or waste from the tank to maintain water quality and a healthy environment for your fish.
Quite often, as a 5 gallon tank will only suffice for the first few months of a hatchling turtle's life.
I'm sorry but no turtle can live in a 2.5 gallon tank. You will need a least a 20 gallon tank and that is even iffy when they grow up I would say get a 30-40 gallon tank for one turtle.
For a tiny, tiny baby turtle, that is just fine. But an adult turtle needs a much, much bigger tank than that. An adult turtle needs a 20-gallon tank (30 inches long and 12 inches wide).
Only one, and sometimes a ten gallon tank isn't enough room. The tank should be 4-5 times the turtle length wise and 3-4 times the turtle in width. If you have more then one, each turtle should get that amount of space. The water should be 1.5 times deep for instance a 7 inch turtle would have water 10 inches deep.
A 5 inch sized turtle is too big for a gallon sized tank. They need more room to swim and the filtration needs more water than that for a turtle that size. I have a 5 inch male red eared slider in a 29 gallon aquarium and I consider that to be the smallest tank I would recommend.
If it is an aquatic turtle,( ex: red slider) you need to have 1 gallon of water per shell inch of your turtle. So if your turtle has a 4 inch shell; you would need a 10 gallon tank with 4 gallons of water in it.
It could fit, but I doubt it would be healthy for the turtle.
When they're a baby try a ten gallon tank. The tank will ned to get bigger as the turtle does so it has more space
good question!! when it's a baby, .hould be in a 10 gallon. when it's a year old, it should be in a 25 gallon. when it's full grown, it should be in a 40 gallon or above. if you have 2 turtles, it would be good to have a 50 or 60 gallon tank if there full grown.
you should start out with at least a 20 gallon tank. you will eventullyneed to upgrade to 30 - 40 gallon tank. you will need alot of room for it to swim and you will also have to have a place where it can bask(land area). you need more water then land though.do not place your tank by a window. you will need a basking light with a heat bulb. you should also look into getting turtle pellets specially for baby turtles. other than that you should be well off.
either a 15 gallon tank or a 20 gallon tank
It depends what type of turtle. My yellow bellied turtle (yellow bellied slider) in Scotland cost me £18, but that wasn't the tank, filter, water heater or heat lamp, (you may also need a UV lamp) that was just the turtle.
