General Care Discussion :: After 8y, I need help finding a new home for my RES

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2015 5:12 pm   After 8y, I need help finding a new home for my RES

Sadly i need to give up my RES. I'm Expecting a baby and need the space and don't give them the attention they deserve

there names are Leonardo, Michelangelo , Raphael , Donatello, and April. (4 males and 1 female )

I started out with one, and rescused the rest along the way with April and Raphael being the most recent additions.

They currently live in a 220 gallon tank in NYC, if your willing to pay to have the tank moved and give them a good home, I'm offering my full setup and these great pets for free.

The 220 Gallon Aquarium Tank and stand is in good condition, and as you would expect holds water. the dimensions are 72"H X 24"W X 30"H

The stand is made from think wood, but has some dog scratches.

Along with the tank comes with FX5's, x2 water heaters and a bunch of lights, several large cork-woods, cleaning, food, water treatment supplies and odd stuff i picked up along the way.

With 2 FX5's running i would only need to to do a water change once a month, and alternate cleaning out each filter once every 3 months.

My main concern with craigslist is that people would want it for the tank. With a complete setup, I'd shoot for close friends, family and schools.

Hey Monk,

Were you ever able to find a new home for your shell family?
