I bought my 14 year old son two turtles at a fleat market. The guy sold me a teeny plastic bowl with a raised section on top and a plastic palm tree. I didn't know a thing about turtles, so I went looking and found turtle talk. Great place! So here we are with two turtles in a dinky little plastic bowl, and I'm reading all the information on here, and I guess tomorrow we'll be working on a better set-up for these little guys. He named them Leftie and Rightie, fortunately one is darker than the other so we can tell them apart. I'm looking forward to watching them grow, I can see already that they have personalities!

That's wonderful. I'd reccomend that you start out with the largest set up you can afford. Some start out with a 10 gallon and work up ,but in the long run they waste a lot of money.

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum! I second the suggestion. I major purchase is a lot cheaper than several smaller ones. And what a better time to go shopping, than the after Christmas sales.

Greetings and welcome to the forum!

Welcome! Don't know where you live, but I recently saw that Petco has a sale on 55+ gallon tanks with the stand. You could save lots if you buy bigger now!

Thanks, I'd love to save, but this soon after Christmas it just isn't going to happen. Dh raises cichlids so we have a spare 20 gallon tank that we're setting up as a temp home for the little guys. I know we'll need something bigger soon though..... PS My son's name is Tanner:o)
