You can but its not a great idea.Turtles LOVE water depth and if its cage is only water, you would need rocks for him to climb onto.If you give the turtle the requested water depth and rocks, it would be too hard for the baby turtle to climb onto the rock.If it was only a water aquariam bottom, water height would be limited to about 3 inches.Not a very healthy life.

yes, if you take very good care of it and you catch/buy it when its a little baby and train it to only eat the fish and animals you give it. and its best to to keep it in a large tank with a lot of water and mud to keep it from feeling in danger. its best to keep it in a tank with only him/her in it so that it doesn't kill or fight with the other reptile/fish.
