    Hey folks. I have a painted turtle and am concidering getting him a new tank. I have him in a 55 gallon tank now and he seems happy but I am wondering if a 50 gallon with the wider base would be better for him. I know that many of you will say that he needs a 120 g tank but I just don't have the room for the time being.

    Also...is there a slightly larger tank size with a wider base that could work?

    Thanks all.

    I don't really see too much of a benefit. If he still is small enough for the 55 then I'd recommend saving up for the next size he'll need.
