Answer 2

It entirely depends on what species your turtle is. Every species has very distinct requirements: the amount of land and water, temperature of both water and air, basking areas, underwater furnishings, plants, and the big one: size of terrarium.

Turtles can live for a very long time... most will easily outlive you. If you don't give it just the right living conditions, you'll condemn it to a slow, miserable death.

For information on turtle species and what they each need (along with pictures to help you identify your turtle, if you don't know what it is exactly) go to www.austinsturtlepage.com and look under Care Sheets. Good luck!
