    My shelled family got bigger much bigger

    I think I'll just move on. I thought about going over to the fish section wear I have much more experience. But I have no reason to think that it will be any different the first time I come up with something that is contrary to this little Colts thinking I will be piled on with the same...

    Well think about it this way put your animals on an acre two acres hundred acres of land whatever you want. But you have to take away food water and Heat. See how long your your animals last it may take him 6 months to starve to death Bur they will die a cruel death and quickly. I'm not saying...

If you all incest in staying on this treadmill that's not going anywhere talking about size and neglecting everything else well find you stay here and do that I'm going to go figure out the rest of what I need to know. You stay...

    So now I'm cruel because I won't put 6-inch turtles in a space large enough to keep two big dogs. And unlike most animals people say the first one should have X amount of room and if you want to give them a companion half again. No one person says 10 x 10 for each turtle in this case that's 50...

    My shelled family got bigger much bigger

    It's all good I was just feeling ganged up on. After all I've only had these turtles one full day now and I didn't even know I was getting them until I got them. I am the type that will stand up for myself sometimes it all cost. I do think a bigger tank is important but if I can't address that...

    It looks like even the maximum plans I have will not satisfy you. So instead of going through the argument of trying to get two 55s into the house and trying to explain why that is needed when they've lived twenty years in this tank or something smaller. I'll settle for the much easier goal of...

    My shelled family got bigger much bigger

    Just some thoughts that I've put together today having more time to observe then put everything together and change things out all that nonsense. Initially I thought maybe this was an Impulse buy all at once walk into a pet store walk out with five turtles maybe baby turtles and everything they...

    Three-toed huh. That makes a lot of sense. The hybrid idea makes sense to. Red who just got his name within the hour reminds me of a cherry head red-footed. Of course this is just a comparison I don't think there's any tortoise in these turtles. The other one with red didn't get nearly as much...

    My shelled family got bigger much bigger

    I'm thinking of building a couple of 8 by 3 enclosures that stack on top of each other. One for the tortoise and one for the turtles. I know both could probably use more room but I'm getting a lot of pushback from my housemate about how big they can be. Even though getting the turtles was his...

    Oops going from a 30 to a 55 gallon fish tank would only add one foot. It's an improvement but I need to get supplies and build. And now I need two.

    My shelled family got bigger much bigger

    I kind of like the two carpets that came with it. I can swap one out and wash it well the other one is in the tank. Of course depending on when they go into one of the 55 and I think they will just as soon as I can get over to get one the carpet would probably not fit as well anymore. The 55...

    My shelled family got bigger much bigger

    That's what I was thinking they're constantly in each other's way. On top of that probably 95% of the aquarium is occupied by something. If they're not on the stupid heat rocks they're in their food dish if not one of those they almost have to be in the water dish. I don't think it's physically...

    Okay I think I got a decent picture of a male and another of a female and then a full tank which I think is only about 30 gallons hence why I think I need something bigger .
