Best Answer

maybe Bog Turtle or Flattened Musk turtle.

No, it's the Speckled Cape tortoise endemic to South Africa and Surrounding regions. This is the smallest chelonian (turtle's, tortoises, and terrapins). The smallest turtle is the bog turtle of the Southeastern U.S.

Can your 5 inched turtle get stressed out in a gallon tank?

A 5 inch sized turtle is too big for a gallon sized tank. They need more room to swim and the filtration needs more water than that for a turtle that size. I have a 5 inch male red eared slider in a 29 gallon aquarium and I consider that to be the smallest tank I would recommend.
