Hello: A 40 Gallon tank is fine. Make sure you have a good substrate for your turtle to burrow into. Keep the tank moist
and get a good UV light. Make sure to remove the glass to allow
the light to pass to your turtle unrestricted. At least 10 hours of light is good. No need for the paper on the glass. If he/she is a box turtle, one of the best foods is dry cat food Moistened. It is high in vitamin A. Don't worry about stress, your turtle will soon learn who feeds him. Good Luck
