Pink Belly Sideneck Overview

Once the rarest of turtles in the United States, Pink Belly Sideneck are now being bred successfully by several U.S. breeders to the point where the growing demand by U.S. keepers is met every year. The turtle is legal to keep in all U.S. states. It is one of the few that Oregon allows, and Hawaii allows them, too, but to keep them there requires special permit.

Pink-Bellied Side-Necked Turtle Size

An outstanding aquarium or pond turtle, hatchling pink-bellied side-necks emerge from their eggs at 1.25 inches and quickly grow another half an inch during their first few months. Then they grow a little over an inch a year if fed the same amounts as they would eat in nature. Keepers tend to feed more, however, so faster growth is often the case. After about 10 years, adults may grow up to 10 inches. Keep this in mind when choosing an enclosure.

Pink-Bellied Side-Necked Turtle Life Span

Because it is relatively new to turtle keeping at the time of this writing, this turtle’s longevity over decades has not yet been documented. In 1999, I started with full-grown adults, and they look unchanged 12 years later. This suggests that a normal aquatic turtle life span of 30 to 50 years, or even longer, may be possible. As with nearly all turtle species, a stable environment is the key to long life.

Pink-Bellied Side-Necked Turtle Set Ups

Pink-bellied side-necked turtles are very adaptable. You can keep them in shallow water that’s only a few times their shell length in depth to water that is as deep as you care to make it.
A glass aquarium with some depth will show off specimens’ trademark pink bellies every time they head to the surface.

Pink-Bellied Side-Necked Turtle Lighting and Temperature

A well-lit aquarium is always nicer for keepers, and it helps display the turtles. Though it’s not required because E. subglobosa is not a basking turtle, UVB lighting couldn’t hurt and may still provide some benefits. Basking surface temperatures in the low to mid 90s suits this species well. Providing both UVB light and a small, heated basking surface often requires two separate light fixtures; a single timer for both fixtures that matches the ambient lighting schedule in the room where you keep your turtle will make life very easy.
