http://www.redearslider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25047&highlight=

BEFORE (Lived in this for 4 months)!!! no lighting no filter no heater of any kind!



AFTER [100WT Tetra heater, Whisper10i filter, Zoo med dock (Small or mini) ,UVA/UVB (White Lamp) + HEATING(Black Lamp)]

Turtle himself basking peacefully



Just him





MY SET UP (I had to explain, I have the gloves over the filter because it made a lot of noise splashing down and i couldn't sleep at night so i turned it off at night which of course resulted in cloudy/No cycle water (Biological) Than i ended up doing water changes alot more than 10-20% but i ended up putting the glove over it I However NEVER seen my turtle bit or try to eat it so i "think" i'm good!











Thermometers (Had to get rid of the other one he use to bit it, Replaced with liquid strip one) /Extra stuff








By the way i got his fungi off by giving him a warm salt bath and pealed it off and put some atiseptic on it and washed it with a toothbrush

Looks nice, now just add water to it and it would be great. You usually want to add as much water as you can without a possibility of escape from the tank.

Oh i did not read much and just looked at pictures so i did not read to not tell you to add water haha..sorry

u have this thing called a floor that u can set it on. no reason to let ur turtle suffer bc ur too cheap to go buy a table.

I mean cmon i don't think its going to kill him if i leave the water level as it is right now.




This is Zilla way of doing it

it wont kill him, but him being in shallow water, is like making you sleep on a bed ment for a 2 year old...and live on that bed...and not being able to step off it.

yaaaa... umm it would't look so nice if i put it on the floor.. but what the H** ill kick the table away and consider to but it on the floor it will take like 5 seconds!!!!

So is there any other possible suggestion, comment, and or thing to buy??

This is my WIRE set up behind the bed with the chap bed sheets!

zilla does that in order to make a profit. how many ppl r gonna buy turtles if they actually know the proper care for one? turtles arent cheap. and no it wont kill him but its just not right. think about it, what if u ere confined to a small space? ud survive but u wouldnt be happy

but really he lived in that small container for 4 months?!?!?
