Answer 4

go to pet stores there the best or the wild but if you order one on the internet it could come in dead and turtles only grow so big to there environment. the bigger the environment the bigger the turtle so if you keep him in a small fish tank he would grow less than a big tank or pond!  

Answer 5

Never get a turtle from Turtle Sale, I have never heard one person say that they were happy with their purchase.  Usually the turtles arrive half (or completely) dead or die after a long and drawn out illness.

Kingsnake.com has classifieds for turtles, I've personally been extremely impressed with the turtle I got from martinsworldexotics.com MWE often has turtles from the few species that stay small (4-6")

It is illegal to sell or give away any turtle under 4" in length according to Federal law.  Unfortunately, a lot of people still do.

Red eared sliders while very common, can rapidly grow as much as 16-18" long-shell only.  My twelve month old *male* is already over 6" and females are larger.

***No turtle or other animal will grow only to the size of it's container-that only works for goldfish and even then it doesn't work very well. The only way to keep a turtle small is to starve it...in which case whoever does so should be arrested for animal cruelty.

Turtles of any species need 10 gallons of water per INCH of shell length. Even the smallest turtles need a 55 gallon tank (you can't fill a tank fully with turtles or they will get injured climbing out from either the water or basking spot and fall to the floor). This doesn't include the space taken up by the "land"-one of those floating docks seems to work best and doesn't take up any swimming room. Most aquatic turtles only need a basking spot large enough for them to be completely out of the water-no other land needed. A cheap alternative to a large aquarium are those plastic storage tubs (the ones with wheels crack too easily). My 12 month old (I know when he hatched) *male* RES has a shell that is nearly 6" long and already needs 60 gallons of water. Females can get as large as 16 inches long-in just the shell. Bigger tanks are also easier to take care of.

Turtles of any size should be fed a good commercial pellet food (reptomin is one of the best) in a volume equal to the size of the turtle's head at every meal. Under 3", a turtle should have two such meals a day, 3-6" a meal once a day, >6" and it should get a meal every other day. Fruits and veggies can be fed whenever as their calories aren't very concentrated. Live food such as guppies, rosy red minnows, and bloodworms should also be available although many pet turtles are too lazy to do their own hunting. Never feed a turtle goldfish as they contain a poison that will slowly kill your turtle over time. Further supplements aren't necessary if you are feeding remptomin or one of the other really good brands (the only good one available around here is reptomin) and supplementing with fresh fruits, veggies, and live food.
