Not bad for a tamporary setup. Is Twigg in the photo? I can't find her. Put up some pictures once you get the new tank up and running, i'm sure it's going to be great! I always end up asking for animal stuff for my birthday/xmas presents too.

[sean rose]

yeah i added some pics of her
shes so funny to watch during the day she just swimms in and out the plants in her tank shes always pushing they around and moving them but i liek it that way it keeps her entertained

[octpusgirl8]

Aww she's a cutie! They love to "redecorate", it's pointless to try and stop them!

nice plant lol

You might be careful with the plant set up that way. She could very easily climb up it and get out of the cage, so unless you have a screen top (clipped on) or something to keep her from getting out, you might want to rearrange a bit.

i have a screen top not shown

[octpusgirl8]

When you get a UVB light you'll need to either lose the screen or cut a hole in it over the basking area unless the holes in the screen are pretty big, 1/4 inch or more.

ooh she has big eyes.

[sean rose]

imma have the uvb when i get my 55gal set up right now shes in just a 30 long and i dont plan on having a screen but the 55 is taller and she wont be able to escape

[octpusgirl8]

perfect!

[untsmurf]

Don't just assume they won't be able to get out. I thought the same thing when I got my 55 gallon. But you have to be extremely careful with the water level, because if they can touch the lip of the cage, they can get out.

My turtle got out a couple months ago while i was away, my roomate found him in the kitchen and called me freaking out (she's afraid of him for some dumb reason). I didn't think he could get out, or would want to. I'm assuming he climbed out from his basking platform, i had it about 4 inches from the lip of the tank. He was fine, but it was quite a scare, and if my roomate hadn't been home and found him, who knows what could have happened Moral of the story is: turles will suprise you with thier silliness, so better be safe than sorry!

[sean rose]

lol shes never tried to escape .... yet . but im hoping not the screesn on but it doesnt cover the docking area i do have a big fluffy blancket behind the tank usually just in case she jumps i dont want her to get hurt

[octpusgirl8]

My turtle never tried to escape either, i was shocked.
