how big do snake neck turtles get?

I saw one at a fish store and was wondering how big they get?
210 ok for an adult for life?[7x2x2]

with two florida gars, red devil, breeding jags,asian red tail catfish, oscar, haitian?

the turtle was about 7-8 shell length and its neck was just as long or longer.

anyway there tight lookng turtles and was wondering if i could house it in with my fish?

and there sizes are in my sig

The size depends on what species it is. The most common snakeneck turtle is the indonesian snakeneck turtle. Gets around 10 inches in shell length.

There is another thing working here that nobody has yet adressed. In a tank like yours baby turts or smaller ones have a very high chance of being bitten and bullyed by the fish, letting alone the fact that they can drown and that they will not get any food since the fish will get ther first. Dont do it man

i have been told by several people, it isn't an issue if you FEED your turtle enough, and i'm inclined to agree because i have a RES and it won't touch bite size feeder fish if i keep him fed, i actually have 4 feeders in there and have for a couple weeks (kind of an experiment) and i haven't seen him even chase one. their not even damaged. i'm starting to think the golds have become like a cleaning station because i see them swim right up to the turtle and suck at his shell. and he doesn't seem to mind.

The problem here is that turts allmost allways are hungry(or they think they are) That way you will endup with a fat unhealty turtle

No Coura, Snakeknecks do not drown. Awesome swimmers. You just have to feed them with tweezers to avoid the fish geting the food.

The fact that they are good swimers doesant mean that we should put a baby one in a huge tank with big mean fish like that A adult animal is better. Even then avoid anything that could hurt them like big ciclids, gars, aros,etc, dont forget how vulnerable they are because of their big neck
