Hi!
I'm new here and I am also new at turtle keeping... I was given a baby red ear as a christmas present! I've very excited about it, but I wish I had know ahead of time so I could have prepared! He is sitting next to me on a plastic climbing rock in his TUPPERWARE container, looking right at me! I do have a heat lamp but I don't even have a water heater so I have been trying to warm up his water alittle with a heating pad under his container. Don't worry, tomorrow when the stores re-open all my christmas money is going to a more permanent home for the little guy! I've been surfing this site to find out what kinds of equipment to pick up...and since I have never kept any herps before, I will be asking lots of questions!!!

Merry Christmas!

Welcome to the forum. You're lucky to have the chance to do some research before you buy equipment... here are some helpful links:

Even though he's small now, hatchlings grow fast- so buy the largest tank you can afford right now so you're not wasting money on upgrades quickly.
