You are NOT allowed to grow to 7 inches!!!!! Seriously, though, I now stand corrected. I have collected and puchased many male Trachemys scripta, including the tropical subspeices, and I never saw one that big.
However, for reasons totally unknown to me, I have never found Painted turtles to be hardy in captivity for me. They survive brutal conditions in nature, but even with TLC they don't last long with me. RES's (asd other species) have lived over 20 years in my care but not painters.
