    I saw a pretty impressive turtle in the pond of the botanic gardens recently..it was about afoot long.
    I was wondering if i just got a normal-sized terrapin from a pet shop could i keep it outdoors and would it grow to this sort of size...i'm prepared to dig a pond if needs be.

    They need a good sized pond in the long term for sure.

    Here's a link to the Tortoise trust site.

    Specific turtle link: Here

    Unfortunately you'll have to troll through a lot of information on the site to find the exact information you're looking for but it's an excellent resource for all things chelonian.
