Turtle's in their Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i was looking around at one of my lfs and i saw some of these for 20$.. is that a good price
 
yeah thats about average. beware they get huge.

also, op. that tank REALLY needs some sand for them. but they actually appear to be in good enough health from what i can tell. do you provide a place to get out of the water?
 
Great pictures. My family has a red-eared slider. Turtles are great.
 
What kind of softshell is that?

Looks nice.
Although you should do sand with some dry land.
It's kind of a pain but it can me done.

thanks guys for the comments and yeah they are very healthy, but the sand thing nope I do not think so. 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 know;):) but still I provide the spots where they can

They are real cool turtles though very owner responsive and smart also eat like pigs!

Dogs don't need toys or playtime to survive/be healthy, but it would be cruel to deprive them of that.

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