Post Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 12:42 pm   new turtle

I currently have a 6mo old cumberland slider living in a tank alond with some snails and some ghost shrimp. A guy close to me is looking to rehome his 6 or 7mo old baby res. The res is only half an inch larger then mine and has also lived alone his whole life. Now here is my question I know I should quarenteen the new turtle before introducing them and I plan t take it o the vet first as well but I was just wondering how long I should keep it quarenteened? The tank is plenty large enough for them until they grow a little bit its either a 30 or35gal I forgot and they are both under 3 inches
