I have a baby red eared slider and am moving into a dorm in a couple months. The school says they allow small aquariums, have any of you guys taken your pets to college? I'm attending CSUN

I have a baby RES and have had it for about a month now and It's about the size of a 50 cent coin. I have a few problems: 1. It's very skittish around me, it hides the majority of the time and even if I walk in the room slowly, as soon as it sees me it runs frantically. I don't know what to...

What? :/

So today was the first day I ever took my baby red eared slider outside to run around. It dove into the ground and started digging, it alarmed me and got too deep so I gently tried to pull it out but it really fought me. I dug around it and continued to pull the best I could by its shell, and...

Yeah I was going to fire it in a kiln and then put gloss

Hey you guys, I read that the Ovation submersible power jet filter is really good, is that true? I have a baby red eared slider in a 20 gallon tank

I'm Sebastian and i apologize. [hr] I was going to kiln it and put a coffee mug gloss on it that is non-toxic, would that be okay?

I made another thread but I decided it was turning into more than I thought so here I go. I want to make some stuff for my baby RES, and I was wondering if any of you know what materials are okay for the tank. 1. Acrylic paint (on a clay pot) 2. Sculpy baking clay 3. Glosses for clay stuff...

Turtle bonding time <3 My friend suggested I be more social with my baby turtle so that it’s more trusting of me. He also suggested to put him on my chest, where my heart is, because they like to listen to your heart beat and breathing. Once it was on my chest it got the courage to run...

It has two fake plants that he tries to burrow under

Haha I spy all the time, I crawl into my room most of the time

I would THINK its pretty decent for how tiny it is...its about 8 inches wide and 14 inches long

How much do you guys play with and touch your turtle? I read that you aren't supposed to touch them very often (I have a RES) but my friend said its better to have physical contact pretty often. How much do you guys touch yours about a week? How much contact should mine have with me?

Today I noticed my baby red eared slider (about the size of a fifty cent piece) get a burst of energy and swim around all over its tank, kicking rocks around, pushing stuff and then tried climbing up the walls. I figured it needed exercise, but when I took it out to give it some more room it...
