Turtle's in their Tank

That original poster needs to remove that sand!

Let me ask you a question OP, y don't you want to put sand? if its because its a pain to clean than its as simple as buying pool filter sand. You can just drop it in and it will settle overnight and you can also do it with the turtles in the tank, it wont harm them. It is best to try to replicate the animals natural habitat but if gravel is your final decision than i respect your decision.

yeah man just not going that route with it and is final decision not going to make a difference

Cute little guy!

For future reference though, you don't want to take something out of the wild, and then reintroduce it, ESPECIALLY if it has been in your fish tank, or in contact with any other animals.

Yeah, I didn't really think about disease introduction at the time, just stuck him in there b/c I didn't have anywhere else to put him while his shell healed. Hopefully he didn't pick up some crazy crap from my fish. Should it occur again I'll definitely be more conscientious.

Some other pics of him...

Either that's a type or I'm just bad at math, lol. How does that come out to a 278?
