Boy her tank looks really nice. You've got all the neccesities covered, as long as you're satisfied with the ease of cleaning and whatnot and Serra seems happy with it i don't see anything to suggest/complain about. I like to keep my tank a little more bare, it makes cleaning easier, but mostly because my tank isn't quite as big as it shouold be so i don't want to take up valuble swimming space with big rocks and decorations. That doesn't seem to be a concern in your case though. Where do you have the heat lamp? I don't see it in the picture unless that strip light is one of those double socket deals; not that i'm doubting you have one, i've seen Serra basking away, she wouldn't be doing that without some warm rays!

You have a heat lamp, and a UVB lamp INSIDE your tank?!?! :shock:

LOL, JK, Awesome set-up by the way.

That's a really nice looking setup both turtle wise and esthetically (which can be a difficult balance to achieve

). Serra is a very lucky turtle!

Very nice setup. I got rid of my glass thermometer for a digital one. As they get older (and bigger) they could bang into them and crack them.

It looks great. to add to greygoose's comment, my turtles just destroyed theur first glass thermometer today. They are both fine, but the thermometer isn't. They got a little over zealous eating crickets, but I was watching them fortunately. Sniff. They're growing up so fast!
