AnswerHello April,
Thank you for saving this lil one.
She will need water at least 3 times her whole body. THis means that if you measure her from the front of shell to back end it will need to be 3 times as deep.
also she will need a basking area where you will need to provide heat and her ubv.
Can you tell me abou ther set up
