Turtle Tanks Tip #2 Aquatic turtles should be kept in aquariums that have fairly deep water, a basking area, and heat and light sources. Turtles that are mostly terrestrial still need to have some water but should not be kept in aquariums. They will be happier in wide wooden or plastic enclosures that contain the right substrate and a wading dish.

Turtle Tanks Tip #3 Be sure to wash and sterilize anything you pick up from the yard before placing it in the turtle tank. Don't add any decorations in the tank that are sharp, pointed, or small enough that your turtle could potentially swallow them.
