Hey guys I found a good deal on a tank and supplies for all three of my turtles. But its in spanish and I dont know what it says . Can you guys help me. ? Also Is 150 gallons enough for 3 turtles http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pet/2600298150.html

It says the tank is used but in good condition. The base needs some repairs but still supports the weight of the tank (not sure I'd want to trust that..) No decorations or fish are included, but it does come with those filters and a heater. I don't know what the last thing on that list is though.

I guess it depends on the gender of your turtles, but I would say not for three adult females for example. It would be good for babies like you have though, as long as they get along.

right now butter is alone in a 75 gallon and hes only 2.5 inches but has long front claws the other two peanut and jelly are the size of quarters and are in a 40 gallon they havent been together yet im afraid right now cause peanut and jelly are so small.

I'm sorry I don't know spanish so I can't translate... but I wanted to say your turtle names are soooo cute!!

If peanut and jelly turn out to be females... I'm not sure they would all fit. Also there could still be an aggression issue once they get bigger so your problem might not even be space!!

My two cents: I would probably buy it and put all of them in together (providing they get along) then watch for aggression as they grow and separate when needed.

You have three turtles now? Didn't you just get rid of one?

yea I adopted 2 baby RES the size of quarters. The lady I got them from got them in Chinatown and they were in this small critter container with only an inch of water. They lady at chinatown told her they wont grow they only need an inch of water they dont need any special lighting and feed them only 2 pellets twice a week and they very low cost pets. And when I got them i added more water to the container they were in and one just sank to the bottom and had his eyes closed and didnt move. The other was showing signs of RI. So I took them home and they are in a temp set up. seperate from butter. They are in a big rubbermaid container with UVA and UVB lights a turtle dock a filter a bubbler , glow in the dark plants lots of big rocks and of course sand. Only after a few days of being in there they seem to be doing just fine they are swimming fine eating and basking and their color isnt as pale. Eventually when Peanut #2 and Jelly get bigger I will put them with Butter and if their is any problem I will put Butter by him self in the 50 gallon pond I have outside and just keep Peanut and Jelly in the 75 gallon

^why do you assume peanut and jelly will get along?

[TurtleGirl1985]

cause they always have. They sleep right next to each other and pile on top of each other when they bask

[Kurtni]

That doesn't matter... Theyre just babies. That behavior doesnt mean theyre "friends" and theyre not sexually mature yet You don't know if you have males or females. It was caring to rescue them, but if you just end up giving one away when they bite each other like you did before you didn't really help them out.

i have other options I can seperate them if this does happen i will not give any of them away
