Painted Turtles? please help me!

Question

how do you take care of them? and is it ok to put them in a large rubbermaid container? (very large) thank you

Answer 1

that rubbermaid box would have to be BIG because these turtles can grow to a maximum length of 9-10 inches, so i suggest putting it in a tank. u can buy one for 12.00$ at petsmart good luck! :)

Answer 2

i have a small one too get a fishtank put sand and water in the cage but it still needs land and get turtle food and give him pellets clean the cage every three days
