Anyone else have turtles?
ChadTower:
True that. I am the only one that ever handles them and I wash my hands following every instance. They pretty much only come out of the tank to eat, when I feed them in a separate tank.
Turtles still shed, big scaly pieces of shell, but they live in a a foot of water so it just sinks to the bottom.

If you have a great Asian Market in your area, it’s probably your best bet, they may even have them live if you would like to butcher them yourself. It’s a messy business though, with a lot of blood and Post Mortem squirming.

I have a female res, I'm guessing she's about eight. Like you I took her off the hands of somebody else. Probably the best thing you could get is a huge stock tank like they feed livestock with. Do yourself a favor and consider getting a canister filter like the rena xp-3 or one of the large capacity enheims (I had two Fluvals in under one year, the xp3 has lasted about two years so far). It is an awful lot of work for this pet. I still have her in an undersized aquarium but wish to get a stock tank set-up going sometime this year.
