Mind you this is just temporary until Christmas when I get a real aquarium (don't know the size yet, but big). And a couple pics of Keke in her new home!

Swimmin around pics!

Looks nice and cozy.

I always use rubbermaid bins for babies its a cheap alternative to a aquarium. Excellent setup:)

Thank you! I finally have the right lighting and a heater. She will get a real aquarium for Christmas haha

This is definitely better than my first setup. What do you feed it?

Very nice, been a logn time since I had to use a rubbermaid for a turtle home. Ahaha those were the good days before I spent alot on my turtle habitats lol.

Looks great for a temporary tank.

Thank you everyone! I am definitly getting a real tank next month, I'm just trying to find one for a good price

@ThinkSkater - since she's still under a year, I feed her baby ReptoMin pellets daily with some lettuce and occasionally freeze-dried shrimp as a treat.

Did you try craigslist? Best place to get a cheap tank. Got my last two off there for really good prices. Always ask for dimentions though to make sure your getting the right size tank they post it is. Alos post bigger then they actually are.

I actually have been looking on there, but nothing within my budget yet.

Better then me too. I got a 6 inch red eared slider for my birthday and didn't know anything about it. People at petsmart said to get a ten gallon water and said I didnt need a filter.... Needless to say I learned. I have spent probably about 700 on my setup now.

Craigslist sometimes has good deals. I just bought new to eliminate used problems such as leaking or glazing. Good luck though.

Thanks everyone! I'm still looking (even though Christmas is right around the corner now lol)

Looks like you've done everything correctly... nice job.

Thank you!
