After about a month of hunting craigslist and all the local classifieds, I finally found a 30 gallon tank for Moxie! Her 20 gallon will go to Shenanigans.

Here is Shenanigans. (Don't worry, I didn't blind him with bright lights, the actual photo is very dim so I photoshopped it to make him visible!)



Some pics of the new tank. After shelling out the money for the tank itself, I couldn't justify spending more money on a tank background, so I used wrapping paper leftover from valentine's day. I thought it was cute enough for now!




Tonight she was afraid of my camera, she kept hovering around it and fluttering at it



So I distracted her with food!




I like this one because you can only see her face in the reflection





Annoyed at being set on the basking dock for a picture


And just being cute!

I love the valentine's day paper. What is Shenanigans? Looks like some kind of frog. I have a 30 gal, but it is long. I didn't know they came high like that. It looks great. I love the idea with the v.d. paper.

Shenanigans is a White's 'dumpy' tree frog. Guess I should have specified that, he does look pretty weird in that pic!

Cool frog! What kind of turtle is Moxie? She is very pretty!

Moxie looks very happy in her new palace.

I Moxie's new home!

She is a gorgeous gal. I have only ever seen Nyx flutter one time and it is sooo funny!

What?are you GETTING another turtle :lol: it's a eastern painted turtle.

Actually we're not sure exactly what kind of painted. Her belly and face look like an eastern, but her carapace is like a western, and she has a faint vertebral stripe like a southern!

May be she is a central painted? errrr... bad humor... just BAD

What a beautiful little painted!!!

Grate set-up!!!! And Moxie is sooo cute!!!!

She's a really painted regardless of what type she has. My baby western also has a faint stripe down his carapace too. Looking at the photo gallery on ATP, I realized that several of the westerns and midlands had faint stripes.

love the back ground, i was just thinking about doing the same thing.

I went to AC Moore and was literally just wandering around waiting for inspiration to strike, the other thing I found that I was considering was using those 12 x 12 sheets of scrapbook paper, because they had one that was hot pink leopard print! Wrapping paper was still cheaper though. I've always been kind of disappointed at the lack of variety in tank backgrounds, so now I'm excited to keep my eyes peeled for funky patterns in wrapping paper!
