i have a painted turtle that is about 1 year old in a 10 gal tank. he has a rock to get out of the water and plants in the water. will the size of his tank stunt his growth or will he just get big and eventually out grow the tank? i have a 40 gal that he is going to go in when he needs to but i would like to keep him in the smaller tank for as long as possabl.(takes up less room)
