i may not make much sense but please belive me

i have got bitten by the turtle bug!!!
if i buy a 50 gallon tub for my box turtle can i put a red foot tortoise with it?i dont want it to be lonely.

trashion · 04-13-2008, 08:06 PM

The turtle is probably fine on its own, I've heard that turtles tend to be solitary creatures.

vettech909 · 04-13-2008, 08:16 PM

ok.can i put any other turtle in the 10 gallon?i let spike run around my room so the dogs wont hurt him.i saw a picture of a red eared slider and i cant keep my eyes off it!!!is there any way i can get a slider in my 10 gallon?i let all my turtles get exersize by letting them relax in a mud pool outside atleast 30 minutes.i already called the petstore and they have quarter-sized red-eared slider hatchlings for $4.i realy want to buy one or two!!!

Who is this? Vettech909 or someone else?

trashion · 04-13-2008, 08:56 PM

Yeah, don't you already have a red-eared slider?

Let her go long enough, she will start contradicting herself.

fishbguy · 04-14-2008, 06:12 AM

You have a red eared slider in one of your 500 gallons, right? You also have a res in your 55 gallon according to your sig.

no red foot tortoise. Honestly, don't buy anything else. You CAN NOT care for anything that you seem to buy.

How old is your brother. Can you please tell me who honestly thinks that fish eat toiletpaper. We're not stupid here.

Lonely turtles are happy turtles.

Please stop "rescueing" animals. You can't take care of them. You can't provide proper housing, you have no idea what care an animal needs, regardless of the species.

In your "petshop" that you "own", don't you tell people that they need at least 120 gallon tanks for pacus? Why don't you set a good example for them?

vettech909 · 04-14-2008, 06:43 AM

its true.i have a red eared slider in my 55g.
i had my pacu in 1 of my 500g but i put 8 jack dempseys in there.the other is empty but plan to put a florida softshell in it.i bought it at turtlesale.com.my brother is 4.

I guess that explains why he put toilet paper in the the tank for them to eat. Cute, but deadly.

trashion · 04-14-2008, 10:54 AM

You do realize RES and other aquatic turtles can't live in the water all the time; they need land areas and basking lamps?

fishbguy · 04-14-2008, 11:13 AM

I would assume that anyone with 2 500 gallon tanks would realize that, but given the circumstances......

vettech909 · 04-14-2008, 01:31 PM

they have 2 turtle docks and a "stump" were they can bask.

vettech909 · 04-14-2008, 01:38 PM

the red-ear i has now is solitary and is not really colorful.i want 2 hatchlings in my 10 gallon but is that ok?they will be moved into 500g with florida softshell when they reach 3inches or smaller.they are quarter sized.i do no how to take care of the animals i rescue i just want to make sure i dont miss anything.

fishbguy · 04-14-2008, 02:48 PM

Then stop rescuing...please.

Do not put any other turtles with softies. They will scratch the softies shell.

like i said,i do know how to take care of them!!!
if you studied a certain animal and a year later you found one,wouldn't you want to study it again and ask quetions so you wouldn't miss anything?well i would!!!

fishbguy · 04-14-2008, 07:21 PM

If you knew how to take care of them, and wanted to give them the best life possible, you would have them in correctly sized tanks.

Please just give up the bull crap. Everyone knows that your lying, and no one will believe until we get pics.

YOUR pictures...not some copied off the internet.
