Well I only have a 5.5 Gallon tank, I know it should be at least 10 and bigger is better, it is just I just moved in with my sister the monday before last and I only have so much room. I have gravel in the tank and have it about 3/4 full of water and the Gravel comes up on one side. I bought a heater and keep it around 80 degrees. My sisters friend gave me a UVB light right after I saw your reply, so I can hook that up ASAP for the turtles.
My sister does have a pond outside that no longer has any fish in it, just tons of tadpoles. I wouldn't mind to put them in her pond if I had the time and money to get it ready, it is just I do not have a job yet but hopefully I can get one within the next few weeks.
Also, do you have any idea of how much the vet trip would cost for the turtle, because like I said before I don't really have the money right now, it just depends on what it would most likely run.
I really regret not researching RES, and turtles in general before running out and buying them, but I am now trying my best.
