Recommended size for a single adult Trachemys scripta venusta would be a 180 gallon aquarium as a minimum (200 or larger preferred). This will provide adequate swimming area, as well as assisting the filtration in maintaining good water quality. For additional Trachemys scripta venusta, I would recommend adding 100 gallons of tank space per additional turtle at a minimum.

Stock Tanks and Rubbermaid containers also work well. The same space recommendations remain the same.
