the funky thing about Midlands are they are a mutt off the 3 other subs.. so he could be an eastern looking midlands!! PS.. judging by your pic.. it might be a she.. tails looking kinda thin. I just went thru this with my baby..Connor is a Connie! her tail isnt thickening and her claws are all the same legnth. the tank problem is so confusing, youre right. whats best for the turtle isnt always best for your home or wallet. I have connie in a 10gal for now.. I just cant have anything larger in my dorm! Im trying to see if we cant sneek a 20long in.. once Im home in 2 years she'll get to move into a 55gal and in general (except for westerns) that seems fairly sufficent. (Id LOVE to have the 55 now.. but my dorm masters will defintly see that coming in LOL) if you can, try the 55 gal, fill it about 2/3s and (way not advertising) the turtle dock is great to leave room for swimming and making a basking spot. Ive also seen 40 gal breeders work out very well.

Hope this helps a little!
