Aquatic turtle species???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That's if you get a female and if you do, they take about 19 years to reach maturity, on top of being about 2 feet in length. I take care about 20 of these guys and I have never seen one come out of the water. They are just a pain to keep with each other. Always fighting. Great with other turtles and some fish.

I don't think there's a "fully aquatic" turtle on the planet by your definition...

I think that is implied, by it being a turtle?
 
I love spiny soft shells. Should be fine if you give it a landing to climb out onto once in a while.
 
The general rule of thumb is 10 gallons of water per inch of shell, so with a 400 gallon stock tank you can pretty much go with anything.

soft shells have been known to be fine in fully aquatic conditions.

I know very little about turtles but agree with you in front of my office there are many and the most I have seen them do is "bask" with head out of water but body still submerged yet getting sun rays.

The babies do seem to bask but not adults . well not that I have seen in close to 2 yrs now.

I am glad you said that since you know them. I have noticed same thing but big difference in owning 20 or in my case looking out window lol.

If it wasnt for size would like one .
