I have 3 Red Eared Sliders. I was given one by a friend, and then I went out and bought 2 more, so one is larger than the other two.

I have bought a book, not gotten completely thru it, but thought this would be neat to chat with other owners.

Welcome to the forum!

If the pic you are using is current, I would suggest taking out the gravel.

Yes I will. I saw several posts about the gravel last night. It was VERY late here. I will get on that.

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

welcome to the site. definately take out the gravel. they can ingest it and it can cause problems. if you can take a picture of the setup and post it up so everyone can see it and maybe give some suggestions based on that.
3 sliders gotta be a handful.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change.
The courage to change the things that I can.
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Ok I will show you what all I am using and doing.

Go to photo gallery. Maybe no one looks here much in the newbie section for pics.

Welcome to the forum Carmat. From the pictures in the gallery, you should get a separate set up for the larger turtle, as he/she might accidently injure the smaller ones.
