I am proud to announce that Niko is now in a wonderful new tank!!!! SO much room for him :)

Here is the before picture:

A 20 gallon..... Not a very big home at all!


AND NOW HERE IS THE NEW HOME :)

I know it's boring and everything. I'm broke from buying the tank haha. It will get fancied up someday though! The main thing is that Niko has lots of room :) Guess how many gallons that baby holds? haha.


And here is the happy little Niko.

Thanks for looking :)
Bless you all.

Haha that is awesome! Niko must be all kinds of happy. I've been saving up my scraps of cash to get my turtles a bigger tank too. They're so expensive though! Seeing your upgrade made me happy though, so thanks for the post.

Yes, they are expensive! But I was lucky to nab this one of a local website, kinda like Kijji, you know where people sell their things and such. I paid 150 dollars for it!!! I was shocked. Such a good deal. Niko is just exploring the whole place, he looks so tiny in there! hehe. He doesn't know what to do with himself haha. Thanks for looking :)

we were filling it up the hard way, one ice cream pail at a time haha, so we just kinda stopped. Okay, I shall fill it up more :)

Normally, a store bought 100 gallon here is about 2 grand. So i think I did pretty good. :)

Here, A 55 gallon is near $200. So a hundred gallons would probably be like $400. You made a KILLING! I'm going to have to check out some local sites :p
