Well, here is some backround info. I am currently living in china, where on the street people sell RES's on carts, like 50 in a tank. I saw them, and felt the looked so pityful so decided to take two home. They are small, less than 4 inches, which I didn't find out until afterwards arnt the best to buy. Anyway, when i got them i thought they were land turtles, I did not know they needed water and ths such. Anyway, most people here just thought the turles in a jar with a inch of water and call it a day, and then are dumbfounded when the poor souls die. Now, after finding out they were infact not land, but water turtles I dedicded to try my best to make them happy and healthy. But its a little hard, since both language barriers persist and more so, the pet industry (for turtles at least) is not so developed here.
The tank itself has a ramp which the turtles can climb upon, as weel as rocks for the same. The tank is 7 in. long, 5 in. wide, with current water level at 1.5 inch. Is it too deep? Too shallow? The light is a UVB for Reptitles, but is it too far or too close from the tank (6 in, taking into account the place where they dry off, maybe 9 in). Is the position okay? I have no wwater filter, but change the water every other day about. Here are some pics to help.
Sorry if I seem like a real ammature. I didnt know it would require so much effot when I got them, but now that I do I want to try to make them have a good home, but at the same time I have pretty limited supply and means. I have 2 RES, by the way.
