Actually it isn't too deep...I researched quite a bit and they have been doing great for about a month and a half. I got mine from Turtle City. I also got some from Arts of Nature, but I do not recommend getting them from there. My whole experience with them was a real pain.

Email me if you want to know anything else about finding baby turtles to buy. I have found several places.

The water is NOT to deep the deeper the better. Just gives them more room to swim. Hatchlings do great in deep water as long as they have a place they can rest. "Deep" water in a tank isnt even deep. Its only like a 1ft if that.
