Hello everyone,
I plan to move both of my 12 or so inch female red eared sliders (and possibly a third, my 5 or so inch smaller male) into a 150 gallon stock tank. The two girls are currently in a 75 gallon tank and while the size is OK for them, I cannot figure out a way to have them both bask comfortably in such space.
Thus, I want to move them into something bigger where I can possibly build something for them so that they can all three bask comfortably. I plan to put tile on top of whatever material I'll be building the basking platform with so that the light hits it and it gets nice and warm, but what materials can I use to create the basking platform in the first place?
I am not a handy person at all and all I have is a power screwdriver, though I suppose I can purchase some kinds of glue at the hardware store. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do? Possibly some examples with pictures?
Thanks!
