I think you should just wait 2 year or till you can make a outdoor enclosure. In that time you can read up on them study them, and be a pro on them when you get one. I would wait and not try the 75 gallon take it out everyday or everyother day deal. Turtles are still Reptiles and retpiles stress when there enviorment changes, and they are moved, carried, ect... all the time. Moving them indoors outdoors can stress the boxie out.

Why not get a lizard? there are a lot of good lizards that can use that 75 gallon. Or possibly a aquatic turtle, or semi aquatic turtle? Those are some options.
