Habitat - Indoor :: Help my turtles aquarium cracked!

[stars sc]

my turtles name are splash and crush and their my little stars! so thats why sc good question though no ones ever asked. ( i guess i should attach my signature more often. lol)

nice set up for a rubber maid it looks way better than some aquariums ive seen how do you think the clear ones would hold up they dont ever seam as thick as the colored ones.( i just like the idea of the clear ones they seam more like an aquarium but i guess it really dosent matter if its just teporary) and do you have to support the sides or did you just do it for just in case reasons?

Thanks for the compliment, i havent had water in it without the supports, i put them there mostly just in case, i dont want a disaster from something that could have been easily avoided. As far as thickness of plastic is concerned, im not sure which is better, i bought that one bc it was the biggest they had i wasnt too worried about color, ive read that turtles feel safer in opaque containers. I think it provides more privacy, although aquariums do make for better viewing. I think the security has to do with instincts, if a turtle was wild, it would live in a pond or lake, obviously something that you couldnt see through. Lemme know if you have any other questions.

thanks for the info. its all been really helpful i still might get the clear one bc my turtles dont seam to mind whats going on around them or feeling scared but good point about the color containers .
