How To Design A Turtle Terrarium

How to Design a Turtle Terrarium - A turtle terrarium is ideal if you want to show off your pet and decorate your house at the same time. You will be providing your turtle a habitat, and adding to the natural feel of your home. Step 1: Get a tank You will need to get a tank large enough to accommodate your turtle when it reaches its maturity. The minimum turtle terrarium dimensions should be 3-4 times the length of the turtle, twice the length of the turtle in width, and 1.5-2 times the length of the turtle in height. Add 8-12 inches above the highest level the turtle can reach inside the tank so it cannot escape. If you have more than one turtle, increase the tank dimensions by 40-60% per turtle. The tank for your turtle terrarium should preferably be Plexiglas, since regular glass produces glare.
