Turtle Tanks, Aquariums & Terrariums

That all depends on the size of your turtle. As a general rule, estimate 10 gallons of tank space for every inch of your turtle’s length. But also take into consideration, how large your turtle will grow. It may make more sense to purchase a larger tank from the start, so you don’t have to upgrade as your turtle grows.

The best selling turtle tank brands are:

• Aqueon
• Imagitarium
• Zoo Med
• Zilla

Petco has a broad selection of turtle tanks designed to fit all your pet’s needs. Be sure to learn what your particular species prefers in a living space, then explore your options online or consult with an in-store Petco partner to find out more.

That depends on many different factors, including your turtle’s species, what kind of fish and whether your aquarium is really an ideal habitat for your pet. Keep in mind that even water-loving aquatic turtles still require access to dry land or basking stations. Before combining any species, it’s always a good idea to consult with a Petco partner or your veterinarian to make the best decision for all your pets.

Yes, a terrarium can make an ideal turtle habitat, depending on what species you have. Aquatic turtles need plenty of water and room to swim, so a waterproof tank and filter are required. But semi-terrestrial turtles only need a shallow pool of water to soak in, so a terrarium would work well for more land-based turtle species.
