If you decide it's too much for you and need to find a home for them, try contacting the California Turtle and Tortoise Club www.tortoise.org The Cen-val chapter is located in Fresno: P.O. Box 16418, Fresno, CA 93755-6418

Good luck.

But hey lets stay postive here, nothing is saying he dosent want them as of now. If he gets a tank that is say 70gal, he should be set for a few years. But then it is the upgrade again. At least at that point he'd have one heck of a tank.

after the temp in the tank stabilizes you might wanna set it to 78or so...

The way the img tag works is, if you've uploaded your pictures to a site... say photobucket, you insert the url of the picture between the img tags.

Your little Bro is also born on Christmas, how special is that, I think God was behind all of this for us to meet, what is his name? My grandaughter is Taylor We did a princess birthday party today, it was the best party I have ever been to. :D
I thought I had them set up good, all i need was the heater, and yes I have almost the whole top of the tank for basking, it looks so fun for them. They were in a little 3 x 5 box when I got them The big one rocky could not even turn around, now they are in a 12 gal bow front tank and they swin swim swim, they seem happy. And by the way Rocky is my long on name, My real name is Judy. :roll: :roll: :roll:

His name is Tye... Im going to his birthday party next week on the 23! What do you mean by the whole top of the tank for basking? Do you have like a zoo med dock? Hopefully you can get some pics of them and their setup up soon, I would love to see it, Judy! :)

"You have a tye born on christmas and I have a tyler born on christmas" that is just special..........you joined Oct. I joined Dec. And I turned 51 in nov. Back to turtles,ya the whole top is almost bascing area, I got this rock form that is a big cluster of fake rocks holding up one big one at the top, I put a tree looking thing under that to hold it up, ( and don's worry it is not going anywhere, it is solid) It is about a 9 inch bed on top, and a cluster of little ones at the bottom, so it is like they have 3 levels in the tank. Then I got one of those turtle floter platforms that stick on the side of the tank. I have to tell you, it looks real cool, that is why I thought I did right, I did not think about a heater..........
