"Perhaps Ive only ended up with intelligent healthy hatchlings so a large tank worked just fine. Those of you who need a medical tank facility should start with a smaller tank."

Nice sarcasm, I like it. Up until this point I thought you may actually know something. I believe you stated a 1000 gallon aquarium wasn't too small for a hatchling. Have you ever done this? Actually scratch that question as I wouldn't believe you if you said you had.

I stand by my contention that it is far easier to successfully raise and monitor a hatchling in a smaller environment, especially if you have as little experience with turtles as this lady obviously has. Biggewr is not better in all situations. As the turtle progresses you can move it to a much larger tank but for hatchlings, smaller works better.
