i had my turtle for a while, he was pretty old when i got him, but i had a 40 gallon, long cage for him, red ears are messy and they can get some health problems if kept outside, but some place where they get a little natural light ( but directly in a window is prolly not a good idea) they are really friendly and to keep them happy they seem to really need a variety of food. they are smart animals and they enjoy attention and getting to watch people.
gravel isnt a must have, cuz they will, poop a lot i didnt have gravel, but i had large stones that were easy to remove and move about for cleaning and grip purposes on the turtles part. also a place where the turtle can climb up check things out and dry off is important, they need to be able to cover their shell all the way in water, but still be able to get out and dry off.
they are a little stressful as far as cleaning, and too much handling stresses them out when they are young, but man they eat everything!
baby mice crickets feeder gold fish, all those are nice to put in the tank, keep the turtle occupied and give it some good calcium.
they are fun pets and im sure youll enjoy having one :3
