Do you know its a "she"? How big is it? If it's big enough to sex it, then 30 gallons is not big enought. 10 gallons for every one inch of turtle shell length (headend to tailend). turtles lay infertile eggs similar to chickens. if your RES had to let one out in the water that prolly means she looking for somewhere to nest...and in fact NEEDS to...so put some peat moss in the tank so your turt can burrow and let her eggs go.
From the homegrowers soul, straight to his lungs. That's the method that I myself find fun. Start from seed and then you'll see, just how fun homegrowing can be.
