Can this tank be used for turtles?

Yes it can...I would suggest adding a rock ledge and a light for mr or ms turtle to sun themselves...that is how we have one set up...

This tank is tall rather then long. For a turtle I would suggest a long tank instead of tall. I also dont think this tank would be big enough for a turtle especially after the turtle has grown. My turtle is in a 150 gallon tank. I upgraded from a 50 gallon because he didnt have a lot of room to turn around in it.

No, it is too large and needs to be fully immersed in water..go to google and key in heater for turtle tank...u should get an answer.

I don't see why not. Certainly depends on what it is you require. I use for tortoise habitat and it works well for that. Obviously different than your potential use.

Probably. The boxed-in area provides shelter and easy access to the caged area for grazing. Owner has easy access to place water or retrieve turtle through the box or the wired section. Lite and portable. Would allow turtle to graze on the ground in natural ground cover/grass.

It's underneath the tank and the tubes run up to the tank, one feeding in and one feeding out. Probably good for fish but I have turtles and it was not at all adequate -- I barely used it and am looking to sell it cheap ...

It should be fine for the turtle, but you need a electricity converter. Looks like these are 120V and they burn out within a few hours if plugged into 220V. (That happened to me). I'm buying a 220V to 120V converter for that reason. Hope this helps.

Your turtle cannot be more than 8 and one half inches in width. As long as it is smaller than that there are no problems

Hello, I hope it`s not too late, to say that this, would absolutely not work as a turtle set-up... especially for red eared sliders. These guys get pretty massive relatively quick. Depending on its gender, in the first two years of its life... it could reach 3-6 inches long. Generally the rule of thumb for turtles is 10 gallons for every inch of turtle. I'm sorry if this bumbed you out. Turtles are really cool pets but need huge tanks. I wish you good luck! Casey

maybe for a land turtles, but not for an aquatic one. these shouldn't be in water...if it is aquatic,maybe use a water heater?

I have one for my 20 gallon regular tank with three small turtles. I would recommend it for a heavily stocked 20 gallon.

It will not fit in the 10 gallon tank. I got a 30 gallon tank and my turtles love the space.

No it can't, it is a reptile tank I got it for my bearded dragon a while back. It's not built to hold water, you should look into aquarium tanks.

This one is NOT recommended for water tanks. I believe ZOO MED does make one specifically for turtles. They are great to deal with, call them directly and they can answer any questions. I have used them for years and always found them great to deal with. Hope this helps.

Yes. Our tank is full of water and our turtles enjoy swimming in it. Hope that helps!

No. It takes up half of my 39 gallon (tall) tank. It is beautiful but for a 10 gallon tank I would suggest a zoo med small size turtle dock.

I would not use this thermometer in a turtle tank. I have had about 5 of these in various fish tanks over the last 8 years and they seek to always end up broken with pieces at the bottom of the tank. I would imagine that turtles would be harder on it than the fish. Check out the sticker type thermometers.
