They can't get that large. The most they can get is the size of small puppy dogs. As big as small puppy dogs get, that is how big the turtles can get as well.

Stinkpot turtles are a very small variety of turtle. A full-grown adult stinkpot musk turtle will only achieve a maximum size of between 3 and 4 inches. A less common variety, the razor-back musk turtle, can achieve a maximum size of up to 6 inches. Enjoy your tiny turtle!

Musk Turtles can grow to about 3-5 or as close to 7 inches. Some would say that a 3 inch stinkpot turtle could be considered a full grown adult.

These are considered tiny turtles. Stinkpot turtles average 3-4 inches in size maximum, while the musk turtle can grow up to 6 inches. The musk turtles are the less common variety.
