∙ 14y agoIts expensive to raise any turtle really but I got some and its like a 20 gallon tank you put in some rocks like it were a fish and move them to one end and then put in water make it so it can get into water and get out get an UV spectrum-light because they need sunlight and this will help and get a small take heater that will keep it between 75-80 degrees it also helps to have a filter to keep it clean in there and it moves the food around witch attracts them to bite it use either small insects or turtle pellets if the turtle is really small break it in half as it grows put more water in and you can feed it bigger things once in a while if u get an old toothbrush and clean them off I do this about once a month and feed them a few pellets once or twice a day.

Make sure it has a lot of food cause it might use something else and that isn't Good for health or metabolism. Always cleanse hands and wear a mittens when handling.
