Other Turtle Discussion :: Friday Poll! How much do you spend on your turtles ea. year?

[steve]

Just a rough average for each turtle you have. The poll is for 7 days.

[kmichael55]

Well, I've had them 6 months, I've easily spent $200, and will probably spend more, but that includes initial set-up, and fixing all the mistakes I made with the initial set-up once I found this site

[jenaero]

yikes...i'm $200+

[steve]

This year is about $300 per turtle. I don't think I spent $30 on the first year I had them. Vet bills can really bump up the expenses significantly.

[megcornell]

My expenses really vary... if I'm upgrading Leo's tank that's easily 200+ but now that she's growing less quickly and I don't plan on buying new tanks for a while I think she'll be relatively cheap for the year... just feeder fish, pellets, filter cartridges etc... unless a vet visit pops in there somewhere.

[Turtle_Turtle]

it will be soon over $200 after i get there new tanks and a new filter and decor but right now it is close to $200

[untsmurf]

I spend probably a little more than 200 a year on Mikey. Only because he's still a little guy and he's needed bigger tanks. Hopefully the next upgrade will be the last... unless we get a pond

[turboturtle8]

I spend about 100 maybe even a little more this year I spent a lot about 250-300 because of there new tank

[Tenodera]

I think I spent a total of around $100 this year for Serra.

[steve]

I should be set with equipment, so I think I only need to spend about $60 per turtle per year afterwards (replacement lights, filter media, pellets). My vet bills were over $400 this year.

[Tenodera]

Serra hasn't had to go to the vet at all this year.

[xsavingsaturdayx]

I think that with vet bills, new equipment, food, and etc..I have probably burnt atleast 300$, less or more this year.

[Turtle_Turtle]

Serra hasn't had to go to the vet at all this year.

[Tenodera]
