It's legal for me to own one, just wasn't legal for them to sell it because its under 4 inches, yeah I didn't learn that till AFTER I bought her.
Anyway I bought a ten gallon tank for now and have a basking area sloped up out of the water, I plan to let her go outside a little each day ( we have a patio) and inside a UVA lamp. I know I need more space when they get bigger, but is there anything else I need to know???
