African sideneck turtles can grow up to 12 inches in size. Getting more considerable means you will need a tank that matches the turtle's maximum size of about 75 gallons.

The African Sideneck Turtle is a freshwater turtle that spends most of its time in mud, riverbeds, and shallow lakes. This dark-shelled animal feeds on invertebrates, such as insects and worms. The male African Sideneck Turtle stores its sperm from May to September. After that, it is released into the epidermis three times longer than the testes. Then, the female can lay as many as 6 to 40 eggs at a time.
