Looks nice.
Although you should do sand with some dry land.
It's kind of a pain but it can me done.
True, get rid of the colored gravel that thing is junk, but really healty looking turtHPIZZLE;3448920; said:yeah thats about average. beware they get huge.

I could care less if they like to dig they do not need to has nothing to do with being healthy and sand is a pain in the ***! I do have places where they can come up out of the water though. There are two fingers from the wood and floating plant that they are able to get up on and bask. I know it is a bit of a debate on here and while they do like to come out of the water they do not have to this I knowbut still I provide the spots where they can
They are real cool turtles though very owner responsive and smart also eat like pigs!

Get sand. If you didn't want sand, then you should not have bought a turtle that relishes digging in sand.
