Very small turtle or tortoise

[Kendalle]

does anyone know are there any really small turtle or tortoise speices? that can be kept in a smaller tank? OR that can be kept in side in a tub thing and i was wondering if anyone lets their tortoise free roam and if they can be potty trained (basicly can i find one that is appartment friendly that doesnt need a 50-80 gal tank

thanks

well u can get a musk/stinkpot turtle which grows to about 4 or 5 inches depending on which species u get. i think also its misissipi maps that grow to i think 5 inches and u can have turts live in rubbermaid tubs. they work just as well as aquariums. make sure its big enuf for the turtle tho.
russian tortoises stay 4 inches and thats good becuz compared to other tortoise species, they stay small
they can roam free but if its warm outside, they shud be kept in a pen in order to get uvb lighting which hlps their shells grow healthy. before letting them in ur house, u can give them a bath with warm water and they will prolly use the bathroom there and will be ok for the night. they can roam free, just make sure their in a safe area =]
sry if this post is a bit confusing, but if u have any questions, feel free to ask =]
