    Substrate Help!

    Hey there! My boyfriend and I recently got some awesome news! Someone in the neighborhood is selling a 125 gallon tank and stand for 300 dollars! What a steal! Now we just have to worry about substrates. We have been using riverbed sand for our 40 gallon tank, but now that we are getting a new...

    Where to buy large tanks?

    Newt is still a little baby, but depending on wether he's male or female (too small for us to tell) we might need a pretty big tank in the long run. From the information we have found online, pink belly sidenecks can grow up to 11inches, which means a 110 gallon tank or more. Where could we find...

    Unhealthy Shell or Just Shedding?

    Hey there! Me again. Just wanted your guys opinions as a worried turtle dad. I am a newer turtle owner, so let me know- does my turtle look unhealthy or is he just shedding? He is less than a year old if that influences any thoughts. Thanks!

    Fish Friends Cont.

    So we ended up buying two Mystery snails and 6 neon tetras for Newt's tank. He is curious about the snails but does not bother them. He tried to chase one of the fish for half a second and then stopped, because he is a big lazy baby. One of them that wasn't very interested in schooling with the...

    Fish Friends?

    Hey there! My turtle is still a little hatching, but I read on a lot of forums and websites that they might have fun chasing fish around. My question is, what kind of fish are appropriate for him? I know he is a baby and I don't want him to choke if he attempts to eat the fish, so I'm not sure...

    Little White Bump Next to Turt's eye?

    Hey! I have asked about this absolutely everywhere and haven't been able to get a response... We got our turtle about a week ago from a reptile shop that did not take great care of him. He was the turtle with the least amount of shell rot and seemingly the healthiest as well. While we were...
