true, vear is right. Do not attempt to use a glass tank outdoors they are meant to be kept indoors and cannot take the temp changes very well but then again some people have successfully kept aquariums outside. Another issue would be overflowing when it rains and you would be scraping the algae off all the time. If you do plan on moving your turtle outdoors your best bet would be a stock tank or you can do a DIY pond it doesn't even have to be dug up you can just use some wood and pond liner. Make sure you secure the top to keep your turtle safe from potential predators. Both options cost way less than a glass tank. Anything outside would also need a bit of depth so your turtle can go at the bottom when its too hot.
