If you wish to keep a community tank, the Chinese Stripe Necked Turtle is a good choice. These turtles are social, much like sliders and cooters. Just keep in mind that, to prevent injuries, the biggest turtle in the tank should not be over twice the size of the smallest turtle in the enclosure.
As is the case with many turtle breeds, it is best to limit handling your Chinese Stripe Necked Turtle unless it is absolutely necessary. And remember to purchase your turtle from a reputable breeder who can guarantee that your pet was captive bred, as you do not want to purchase one that was taken out of the wild, where this species is endangered.
You can use a glass tank, plastic storage bin, sweaterbox, or stock tank for your Chinese Stripe Necked Turtle’s enclosure. If you have a female who is 10”, she will need at least 100 gallons of space, and if you have a 5” male with two 10” females, they will need a minimum of 150 gallons.
When choosing tank furnishings, make sure that they are securely set in place and that they are appropriate for the size of your pet. For example, if you have a small turtle, you can provide him with a smaller basking area, but if he grows larger, you will need to upgrade the basking site so that your pet can come out of the water and dry completely. And if there are any materials in the tank, make sure that your turtle can’t get trapped under them while underwater.
Keeping the water as clean as possible is important to the health of this turtle, so invest in a high quality water filter for the enclosure
Chinese Stripe Necked Turtles are omnivorous, so they will eat both animals and plants. These turtles are easy to feed, as they will rarely refuse food that is offered to them. You can give your pet a commercial pellet diet for turtles, as well as water hyacinth, water lettuce, duckweed, and romaine lettuce, which you can leave floating in the water.
