Post Posted: Fri Sep 18, 2009 7:32 am   I love Craigslist!

Just bought a 75gallon tank with a nice wooden stand and it comes with a large wooden log, 2 heat lamps with dayglow bulb and night one, metal screen that goes across top, glass bowl and plants and reptile wood beding. All for just $100! Now thats a steal. Actually i could have got it cheaper but i wanted the lamps and screen.

I was watching this post for a couple weeks. It started at $200 for everything and slowly got to $100. Even $200 isnt bad lol. The economy is really hurting people. I cant beleive no one bought it.

Where in pa do you live? The one guy keeps and painteds and any offspring he gives to people for free but you must pick up at his house, he does not ship. He has had many people come from different states just to get some XD. He has given away over 80painted hatchlings over the years. Also i know a couple petstores that somtimes get them.

You will not find eastern or midland painted turtles for sale in pa cause its illegal, its also illegal to own more then 1. Petcos sometimes get western painteds in.

Well best i can point you in is your parents would have to be up for a drive or you if you can drive, reptile show is an hour from lancaster so there they sell painteds. Also the guy that gives the painteds for free is an hours drive and im an hours drive.

So if you want painteds its an hours drive. Which i dont think is bad.

Now - if I could just find a great CL deal on a Fluval FX5 I'd be all set!

I read somewhere that ebay either owns or has stock in craigslist

Does craiglist have an email notifier? I'm on the lookout for an acrylic tank but I don't want to check everyday.
