This is my wife’s problem well not so true I do the water changes and clean the filter. It's getting too big for its 55 G tank but has a happy life, I think. My daughter did this to us twice but once it was our fault getting these tiny turtles in Florida flea market where they are sold for educational purposes only. That’s an excuse to sell turtles under 4” and I think its illegal in Florida.
The first two once they were grown about 6 “or 7” we got the aquarium in Flagler FL to take them in after my wife did a lot of begging. Next time my daughter and her boyfriend went to stay in our place in Ormond Beach FL and we begged her not to get turtles and she got two again anyway. Well to make a long story short my wife and have I been taking care of the two for years. I believe they are Yellow bellied turtle and they grow quite a bit and right now we only have one left from the two one died a few years ago. The survivor should be about 13 years old. I say it because I don’t know if it’s a female or male except once in a while we had some eggs in the tank but that’s when we had the two and they were never fertile.
