It would depend on the size of the turtle. Hatchlings due very well in tanks or plastic shoe boxes with one end raised. One end would be very shallow the other deeper. I keep the water for all of my spotties deep enough for them to touch the bottom and just get their heads out of the water. Also with all sizes of spotteds I give them plenty of hiding spaces and basking sites. The adults have about 30% of their enclosure as land. Most problems are with wild caught spotted turtles. I am sure it is illegal in every state that they are native to but that is no deterent to collectors. I hope this helps,

Tom
