Semi aquatic setup, with water about the same depth as the turtle is long, and about 50-75% tank water (well filtered). Temperatures similar to what you have locally (70-80 degrees with a warm area 85-95 degrees); feed a variety of food, such as live insects, fish, worms, crayfish, etc. That said; if that turtle was collected in PA, it was collected illegally, as spotted turtles are protected in PA; and I feel obligated to implore you to return that animal to the wild, as at that size it quite close if not already at breeding size and is very important to the wild population of these turtles in that area. If your son is the concern, try and get him a CB spotted if that is what he likes, the wild ones should stay wild.
