An ideal set of to keep Map Turtles would be glass aquarium with a filter (to keep water clean), a heater (to keep water at a constant 25 degrees), and UV light (to encourage correct shell growth). They also need a landed area where the can get out of the water such as Turtle Dock. It is important to remember that it takes three to four years for a hatchling Map Turtle to grow to full size and therefore, to help socialize the Turtle, it much better to keep the hatchling in smaller enclosure (30-40 litres) to start with; upgrading to a larger home as they grow.
