That will do for a hatchy but you will need a muchn larger tank when it gets bigger. Some in the range of a 4-6ft tank or 220L - 500L plus.

thanks for that.
how long will i be able to put a hatchi in it?

 

[hornet]

depends on feeding, a few months up to a year

 

[wiz-fiz]

if i fed 1 every 2-3 ays how long would it be in there?

 

[hornet]

mayb 6 months, 60l is only a temporary tank, best to start with a 3ft and go up to 5-6foot later

 

[wiz-fiz]

would a 450L tank be good for a full grown?

 

[hornet]

How many fot is a 450l tank? What speecies are you getting exactly?

 

[wiz-fiz]

a 450 litr tank is 60cm wide
1m tall
and 75 cm long

i don't know weather i will get a turtle coz i did a deal with my mum and if i am getting 1 it's an Australian Eastern long neck

 

[hornet]

thats taller than wide, not good for turtles imo

 

[wiz-fiz]
