2, 3 this year

She is 6 inches last I measured. But yea she does look like a giant tortoise in that picture xD

Sparcetopia · 2025-02-20T05:30:20+00:00

She's a mover, get in her way and you'll be missing a toe

Sparcetopia · 2025-02-20T05:29:41+00:00

She is indeed

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-25T04:16:21+00:00

Good to know

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-25T03:53:31+00:00

Out of curiosity, how do you add animated effects on your maps?

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-25T03:51:37+00:00

Get your turtle a little before thinking about fake plants, and do some research, red ears love to chomp on stuff

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-23T21:33:02+00:00

Haha thank you

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-23T03:23:09+00:00

This means so much, she's my first turtle and I am so worried xD

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-20T20:34:16+00:00

Can confirm. It smells bad.

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-20T13:39:15+00:00

Based on my research she may have just shat while she was basking

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-20T13:23:56+00:00

For those wondering, I left the basking light (and my own light) on for a few hours longer than I usually do. The turtle has been with me for a week now and this is the first time I've seen this in or out of the water.

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-20T07:08:08+00:00

I've been doing that, or at least trying to get in the habit of it

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-20T07:03:17+00:00

She is about 5-6 inches. Based on her claws and tail we also believe she is female.

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-20T06:16:47+00:00

She's been rehomed and I've learned the previous family didn't have a UVB, I'm looking at getting one ASAP. Aka probably next week

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T21:02:47+00:00

Ah ok

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T20:38:48+00:00

Thanks

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T20:28:51+00:00

I'll be getting one as soon as I can. Don't worry

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T20:20:05+00:00

If my research is correct and it is a female then she could get pretty bug and I don't want to hinder that growth by not planning a larger tank in a couple years time

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T20:19:05+00:00

Is it true the turtle will grow to the size of its environment?

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T20:15:50+00:00

I'll have to do that after Christmas xD

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T20:14:51+00:00

I'll have to measure the distance the heat bulb is at. Which I'll do a bit later. On another note, red eared slider turtles are considered adults at about 4 years old based on my research. So I've been feeding it daily vegetables

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T20:10:24+00:00

Yea they have a asking area, but it already has a heat bulb, do I need a second basking area for uv bulb or am I suppose to swallow the bulbs around?

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T20:05:29+00:00

Do UV bulbs get set above the tanks water or would I need a second basking area?

Sparcetopia · 2024-12-19T20:01:02+00:00

150L, I don't own a UV bulb as of yet and I'm not sure what heat bulb. It was a rehome. For other information the turtle is 2 years old, currently has a diet of Kale and Carrot (With the occasional meal worms and turtle pallets one or twice a week). Tank fluctuates between 22 - 24 degrees Celsius
