how big does a hatchling get after one year?

[SpotsMama]

It varies all over the map. I think 4" is rather typical. Growth rate will slow down after a year.

Spotsmama is right... my turts are 18 months and one of them is 4" and the other almost 4 and a half

i am really close to upgrading the tank although i know i just got it. my boyfriends cousin works at a fish store called aquadome (its shaped like a dome!). i think she owns it. ANYWAY...we can get a tank for really cheap there. im looking for anything equal to or greater than 75 gallons. just wondering how fast they grow!
