Ya it's really something, how big they get! Yes the bulb is coil shaped, it's from All Living Things. I think it's 13w? I heard the coils aren't that great, but haven't looked into it yet. It was all they had at the time and I wanted to get him his appropriate lighting ASAP. Unfortunately he...

Nice. We are going to be upgrading his tank again soon to a100gal. He makes the 55 look small haha. Looked into the lights and they were no good. They didn't provide any UVA or UVB rays. I picked up a new basking light that provides UVA and also a light that provides the UVB. Needless to say he...

Ya I noticed that yesterday when he was resting on it. Not very stable at all. Thanks! I'll look into a turtle topper.

It says "night glo" on the black light. Not sure if there's a difference? Does it provide heat at night while the basking light is off? Or is this night glo light basically useless?

I wasn't sure about the black light either. It came with him. I thought I read something saying it provides UVA rays, but I could be wrong. If it serves no purpose than I will gladly get rid of it. As far as filtration goes, I'm getting him a Fluval this week. I was told those are excellent filters.

Here is his new set-up! He seems really happy. The lights I have are Exo Terra Sun Glo, and then I also have the Sun Glo black light. Both are 60w. Will that be enough do you think?

Not sure about the bulbs. I'm picking him up tomorrow. He has a light and heat lamp already set up with his 29gal tank. However I got him a 55gal to move into. Not sure if tank size affects type of lightning. I'll let you know about the bulbs tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks for all the advice! This will definitely be a good learning experience

That's crazy. I had no idea how good at climbing they could be. Definitely will be getting a screen for the top!

Would the filter be ok for the time being, until I can get something better if I am really good about keeping the tank clean and feed him in a separate tank?

Also I do plan to add his basking spot, I just want to make sure the water level is ok.

Hello all, My name is Jamie and my new friend is Jacques. He is a male, on the smaller side. He is 5 or 6 years old. I will be getting him on Sunday, my sister can no longer take care of him. I have never owned one before so please excuse my "dumb" questions. I was just wondering if this...

Hello everyone, My name is Jamie, my new turtle friends name is Jacques, please forgive me if I'm on the wrong forum. I was surprisingly given a red ear slider and I have been researching them the last week and trying to find a forum I can join to help me get started, and to make sure he has a...
