Hello everyone! I just recently found this forum and thought it would be great to join and learn more about turtles specifically musk's. Wasnt sure where to post this but I plan on getting a musk turtle soon, I have tried to gather as much research as possible and try to prepare for the turtle, so I will write a list of things I have atm for the turtle(only housing one) and get feedback from you experts:) I have a 55gallon tank, I will be using play sand as the substrate, and have a 160g eheim canister filter, a tank heater (70-80f right?), digital thermometer aswell as the strip type ones, I have a clamp lamp along with a mercury vapor bulb for the uvb+heat source and was planning on buying a turtle topper for the turtle to bask whenever he feels like it but have read that musks dont really bask,any opinions on this? also a normal t8 bulb on a timer to offer the 12h/12h day/night, I have 2 big fake plants(one on each side of the tank), a zoo med turtle log, and this http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752284
I will be using reptisafe to dechlorinate the water, and plan on buying zoo med brand food aswell as feeder fish once a while. how am i doing? Any feedback/tips/advice would definitely help.
