The site below has a lot of good info.
You need at least 10 gallons per inch of shell length. You need to rig it for good cleaning, good heating (80 or so water temps), lighting that includes UV-B, and a basking area that gets to 90.
Diet- good turtle pellets or things like trout chow are OK. You can add variety later.
Be aware that turtles are not easy pets- they take a lot of work to get set up, and daily cares. Baby turtles are tougher yet.
