Habitat - Indoor :: new RES owner

I just recently got a RES. I found it in my friends pool. It is probably no bigger than 2 1/2 inches, right now I have it in a 10 gallon aquarium, soon to get a bigger one.
I was just wondering how high should i fill the water? I hear they are very good swimmers so I shouldnt worry about it drowning.

no as long as it cant get stuck under something fill it and also as long as it cant get out too it needs a basking area too ....... well just read EVERYTHING on the main website and you should be fine this web site is by far the best web site for RES good luck ill be on here a little longer ill check back on this post in a few!!!!!! =)

it is shedding right now, i know that is usually normal for when theyre growing, but i havnt seen anything about brown spots.
