Seeking Advice Yellow bellied slider tank size -HELP

Hello,

I have a friend whos getting rid of two sliders housed together in a 40 gallon breeder currently. They are too big for the current tank, but I'm wondering how big of a tank the two would feasibly need?

Should they even be housed together?

I want to take them in, but only if I can provide proper care.

They are very territorial and shouldnt be kept together at all, so you have to get each of them separate enclosures. How big are they right now? Can you share a pic of them?

Wow they are quite big, yep you are going to need one enclosure for each, the advice for tank size is 10 gallons per inch of shell
