My husband and I got these turtles when were in college. We purchased them in a beach shop in Florida when they were golf-ball size. Now, they are the size of my hand with fingers spread wide! We had them for about 5 years, and then last year, we gave them to my friend (a biology teacher) to put in her daughter's room. They are red-ear sliders and do not require much upkeep aside from feeding and aquarium maintenance. They respond well to people. When we would walk into their room, they would swim to the side of their tank to meet us. It was sweet.
