Anyone else have turtles?
ChadTower:
So, the tank I'm envisioning is roughly 20" deep, 45" long, 21" wide.
Found some turtle forums here.
ChadTower:
I wonder if something like this would be good... certainly cheaper to pick up used from someone who is moving.
Do turtles need a water capable aquarium or do most people put them in a reptile habitat (glass tank not rated to hold water) with an internal container for water?
gavkiwi:
Chad, we had it setup where the turtle could climb out of the water and onto the rocks and 'bask' under the lamp we had set up for him, from what I understand they need both...water/rocks/some sort of light source to be "happy".
ChadTower:
Yeah, I've turned that up too... this type of turtle needs to be able to climb out, dry off, and bask under a UVB lamp (or sunlight).
Tonight I'm going to clean up the tank I got with them. It's woefully inadequate, probably 3x too small for them. Poor things, dude didn't do much for them as they got bigger.
I'm looking at this. Already bid, if I can snag that, I think I have a place to put it and it wouldn't be hard to make that a good home for them.
gavkiwi:
yeah your turtles are quite large, they have some 'mature' RES at our local zoo, those suckers are HUGE!
