Well, I've been in the Turtle Hobby as of now, a full day.
My RES I was asked if I'd like to adopt the RES. Some friend impulse bought three of the little critters, and I spoke my interest in owning one. I've gone through this site and I think I will make this a regular place for myself.

I don't have a habitat yet, but I have till the 11th to have my habitat ready for the Turtle. I'm moving into a 1x1 apartment, with a six foot patio. My mom had suggested a small plastic swimming pool but I don't have the room.
but I was wondering if something like this would work http://www.recyclethis.co.uk/wp-content ... ner250.jpg
well of course with out the lid and probably 2foot by 4foot or 2 foot by 2foot, something along the lines. Do you think this would be an ideal habitat to start with until I can get an aquarium?

As well I have named the RES Bruno, I don't have a picture of the turtle as since they've only been with us for about a day, and I didn't want to scare the little turtles. But that is all, and once again I really like this sight and am glad I did a search on the internet about RES

Welcome to the site!

I think that container would be too small. You can use a rubbermaid container
that is large and designed to hold water. The design is important because if it's
not designed to hold water, the sides will bend and probably break due to water
weight.

Good luck with owning (and being owned by) a turtle. This site has a lot of good
information regarding RES. Follow them and you'll enjoy your turtle more! :)

Ah thank you I hadn't though of the one's made for water...
I'll get a bigger one then..I want the turtle to be comfortable, because I know there probably under a lot of stress because, there moving out of there home in my friends room to another friends parents house, because of no pets in our dorms. But come the 11th it will have a nice calm home...thank fully I'm not the partying time 8)

Thanks for the luck, I think I'll need it but I feel confident in owning one. and I feel a little more confident in knowing there's a site like this...actually this site is what built my confidence. XD
