Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

hey dillon. i suppose muddy would be the best "mimic", but unfortunately that's not possible because we need to run filters.

i saw a post where someone put something underneath their tank, like an aquarium background, that looked like a "floor" so the turtle couldn't see through the glass. i've not tried it, but they claimed it helped the turt realize where the bottom is.

Also, if you are worried about scratching the tank, you could probably try a ball of some sort. Just make sure it's big enough (bigger than his head), he can't chip pieces off, and it won't leach chemicals into the water.
