And they should take everything back because they gave you the wrong information. Read the care sheet that Avon listed, make a list, and don't let them tell you what you need. sometimes you can find some of the things any hardware store cheaper.
Talk to the manager of the pet store. We're these things 're commended to you. Take everything back. Check you receipt for return policy. But most pet stores are 30 -60 days, not for live animals they vary.Okay. So read the sheet. We just spent 300 on a kit for a land turtle! Ug. How do I get him enough water in this set up? Picture above. Or can I pull him out to swim a couple days a week in a tub?
Did the turtle cost you anything? And if so how much? you want to become try people here. Not back to the person who did not treat it right. Good luck. I am so sure you and your son are frustrated.Thanks folks. Should've gone with a rescue as I planned. The woman will take this guy back but I know she'll let him "go" so can't take him there. my son is set on a land turtle. Will call the rescue and see if they'll swap for one that needs a home and they can hopefully help our guy. Stay tuned.
just remember not to house the two different species together.Update: talked to a local rescue who has the perfect habitat for our guy (and a vet) and they will take him. They have a Mediterranean land turtle that needs a home and would love our tank and kids. More to come!
Mediterranean land turtle ? I am not aware of such. Greek tortoise perhaps ?Update: talked to a local rescue who has the perfect habitat for our guy (and a vet) and they will take him. They have a Mediterranean land turtle that needs a home and would love our tank and kids. More to come!
most likely a tortoise species. there is no species called a Mediterranean tortoise.Mediterranean land turtle ? I am not aware of such. Greek tortoise perhaps ?

the minimum enclosure for most Mediterranean species is 4ft by 8ft.Will post pics when we get the new guy home. Out water guy is going to the rescue. It's at a vets house so he'll be in a water tank like he's supposed to be.
In terms of land tortoise. I have a 40 gallon long tank. That's not big enough? What's recommended? We don't mind upgrading at some point if we need to, we can use this tank for something else at some point. Just wanted land not water. (We already have a newt and fish etc)
You are right Nicklets find out what exact species you are going to get before you get more stuff.
