Pete Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 For £50 a year I'll look after him. I'll send regular photos from his visits to various locations so you know he's fit and healthy. http://www.pbarfield.com/temp/turtle.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically as I see it, the tank would be on a stand so that the tap can come right out of the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I used to have 6 of these little monsters They started off in a tank about 6ft long and 2ft wide. When they grew bigger we got a greenhouse and made a pond inside it with heaters etc etc. They tend to hibernate in the winter if they get too cold so had to monitor temps carefully. Females are larger than males and can grow to the size of a dinner plate. Males will grow maybe as big as the span of your hand. Your little fella should be in a much larger tank if you plan on keeping him, and more water. They love boiled ham and if you really want to treat him go down to the local aquatics store and get a couple of bags of bloodworms... YUMMY! If you want to know anything else, just ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiffy Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 he will rip the fish apart! i have 3 turtles and put them in my big tank with a few fish. the general rule of the tank is "if it doesnt move, try and eat it!" brings a whole new meaning to the 2 second rule!
