Habitat - Indoor :: turtle tanks

[bently11]

Hi, I was just wondering if it is ok to buy a turtle tank that is built for a turtle. The tank I want to buy has a basking spot and ramp built into it. It's on glasscages.com. Is it ok to have one like that?

glasscages.com makes some very nice tanks that would work well. just make sure it is big enough since you wont be able to fill it to the top.

Thanks for the quick reply! I may ask them to raise the basking spot higher so I can fill the tank with more water. I'll buy a lamp hanger to hang my MVB so it's not too close.

i've always like the tanks they have there. my dad and i were actually thinking about getting a tank from there but the shipping is costly. luckily though my uncle is thinking about getting rid of his aquarium that is either 2 or 3 hundred gallons. hopefully that will be my next tank

Those are some very cool tanks they have. Which one are you considering?

I am thinking of getting a 90 gallon glass turtle tank with a higher basking spot. I live near Chicago so I'm going to pick it up there. My dad called them and they come to Chicago once a month or so. Common carriers cost like 300 bucks! I'm definitely going to pick it up.

Daniel,2 or 3 hundred gallons! Holy $#!% thats a big tank! What are the dimensions on something like that?

[Daniel3507]

i think he said its over 6 feet long 28 inches wide but im not sure how tall. i dont know if those are right though because i cant really remember what he told me. ive seen it though and it is massive. its the biggest tank ive seen in person

If you do get it, you better take like a zillion pictures of it for us.

[Daniel3507]

oh of course i will. if i do end up getting it im not looking forward to having to figure out a way to get in the house
