I got a new home for the little guys.

Here's the old crib. 10 gallon tank

And the new place. 50gal tank with a water heater, and new filter. The best part is the 2 ip cameras, I can check on my turts at work.

Here some pics of the guys napping.

Grate set-up!!! I love the idea of the web-cams!!!! That would be awesome, to check up on them at work!!!

Are his eyes always closed like that? Or does he just blink from the camera flash?

They rarely have their eyes closed, when I'm around anyway. I just got lucky.

*is jealous*

I wish I had space and money for a 50 gallon for the babies. It looks great!

That looks like a great upgrade!! Just watch out for the edge, putting the thermometer right above the basking dock will make it way easy for him to climb out.

nice upgrade but that doesn't look like a 50 gallon, what are the dimensions?

Not too worried about them climbing out yet, from the water level to the top, it's about 2.5 times taller than they would be if they could stand up.

I just measured it. The dimensions are 20in x 12in x 38in. Quick math tells me that it's about 40gal. Still not upset about the minor scam, 30 bucks off craigslist still feels like a good deal.

Great tank! Your turtle is VERY cute! Seems like a great upgrade you made there! Its always fun to get bigger tanks for them and see how happy they are when they finally have room!

lol thought so, i knew it wasn't 50G. I've had way too many tanks.

I think it was a GREAT deal and a GREAT buy! That tank looks great!

Awesome possum! I guess it just looks a lot closer from far away. Good looking out

I like that shelving thing in the back of the tank. It's great to hold the light fixtures.

what filters are you using??

I like how you used the shelves to hold the lamps. It keeps them out of the way for cleaning.
