Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Here you go Kase. Miller Lite for scale.

 

Do it!

 

Get that poor turtle an actual heat lamp and UVB bulb. They also need more water and and a dry place to bask under the light.

 

!!!!!!! how cute

 

The first thought in my head was 'mmm turtle soup'. Lol

 

nonono
turtles are great pets! (stinky as fuck if you dont clean their tank a lot) but so adorable to watch swimming at the glass... allllll day

 

Good, honestly if the turtle is under 4" then the current tank is good enough. Just fill it up higher and get a basking area, UVB bulb, and then just a regular bulb to provide heat.

Basking Area
UVB Bulb

 

Here's when I first got him 6+ years ago haha


















And here is what I'd recommend as a minimum setup

 

omg....

 

Ordered me a new lens for my camera.. It was on sale

 

damn straight.
you know how much i love turtles..

 

You're right though, turtles are a mess. They destroy filters. The one on that 55 gallon tank is rated for 100 gallons.

When I had a 10 gallon tank I ran a $25 filter rated for a 25 gallon and it did very well.

You better hope your turtle is a male. Mine is full grown already at 6". Females get upwards of 10+ inches..

 

and tattoo!

 

unless you enjoy cleaning the worse smell in the world.. probably a good idea as it gets bigger..
i used to raise turtles, so ive never had just one, but i imagine the smell is still pretty bad..

 

Lmao! ! You're to asian

 

I'm going to Chinatown to pick up some turtles now. I know a place that has both hard shell and soft shell.

 

Don't forget the eyes!

 

shhhh that is privileged information ;p

 

Is that an invite? ??

 

I didn't get a close look lol
