Hey guys! It's been a while! School is keeping me pretty busy so I haven't been around to show you how much my tortie has grown.
That's not the purpose of this post, either (sorry--pics soon?).
My professors know I love turtles/tortoises, and one of them has a student who is trying to get rid of her "baby" snapping turtle. Apparently, she got it when it was "quarter sized" and can't take care of it anymore. I'm not sure how big it is now, but the professor asked if I could take it in.
It's been a very long time since I've had aquatic turtles, and I don't know what all they need for a set up.
I'm not sure what all she's sending the turtle with, so I acquired a 40gallon tank, but what else should I do to get ready?
I'm planning on keeping the tank in my garage, so the ambient temperature should be around 70 degrees.
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.
