Wanna Save Some Turtles-Help Me Out

[dougefresh]

Ok I found this link on craigslist -> http://delaware.craigslist.org/pet/606691408.html

I'm guessing they're RES......And I want to save them.......

I have various tanks I could setup, 10's, 20, 29, 46, 55, or even some plastic tubs(I saw Vicious' thread on setting turtles up in them) and have running by tomorrow.........What would be best for these guys?

I'm gonna keep doing research, but other then that I have pretty much everything I need, I think

I have filters, submersible heaters, a turtle ledge, lids to tanks, heat bulbs, UVB bulbs.........So I dunno what else, but I'm gonna keep researching it just wondering if I could have your input guys...........

I emailed them just to get some general info on the turtles to even see what species hopefully they'll get back to me soon..........Thanks guys........

Not really but thanks. I'm looking for what would be best for them now, if you read the article they're only 2" and 4".

They wrote me an e-mail back saying someone else might be getting them, but I'll be the first to know if they don't.

I'm surprised they are so small. Usually they are a little bigger before the owner gets sick of cleaning up after them. I take them in also.

I feel it is important to warn you, if they are keeping these turtles in undesirable conditions, some of them could be ill. When baby turtles are ill, it is EASY to spread to other baby turtles. Respiratory illness and legions are the most common things I've seen. If you get multiple turtles, chances are a couple are sick.

The best thing to do is to keep them all separate until you see heathy eating and swinning habits.

Hope you have lots of space...
