I'll kick it off!

Having kept Crush in a 10 gallon tank for the last year I can say that they are not half as messy as I expected. I think the 29 gallon will be fine for the two of them as adults with my current care practices. No offense, but I feel 2 3.5"-4" adult stinkpots would get lost in a 4 foot long tank. That said, I could be wrong in which case I do have a 55 gallon in the basement if necessary. I am actually considering converting my 125 gallon into a paludarium style tank to keep a few spotteds in.

I have to agree with Rainfrog. The general rule of turtle keeping says 10g per inch of turtle.

A 55gallon is at best interest. Sorry, but I would put your 55 gallon to good use since it is in your basement and is not in use. Is it not in use?

[ranmiller]

The 55 gallon is empty. But there is no way I am dragging it up until/unless I start having problems with the current setup. Thanks for the feedback though!

They seem to have settled in pretty well. Minimal digging of the microswords, but nothing too damaging. They are small still though, so we'll have to see how it goes as they get a little bigger.

i never seen a stinkpot turtle. it sorta looks like a missippi map turtle.coolsetup too!

Stinkpots are Common Musk Turtles. They are a really cool pet turtle.

I saw a man on the Morning Show today who had trained a small turtle to do a back flip, turn over again, and sit on command. (Snapping of fingers). Too cool.
