hi stacy - I had a red eared slider for about a year & eventually gave it to a friend who would care for it better - my experience shows that the bigger the tank the larger they get..everytime we got a new tank the turtle would grow! you may want to check w/ your vet though or local water animal pet store - maybe if you eventually stop buying new tanks the turtle will stop growing. Don't know for sure though.
