I am going to buy a turtle tub but want a screen for it, which fits best on this turtle tub?

Those are pretty small and don't hold much water. You're going to have to replace it in a few years. Go bigger!

Haha Linus, honestly its better to buy a tank at that point if he has to go to the medium one. The price is high and the size of those things are huge. Not something for the inside of a house really. Unless its for outside then go for it haha. It really is nice but really high cost. Only crazy turtle people like me own one XD

I mean they're really for breeding projects and do work great, but yes, they are very pricey!

It's nice to see zoo med making a smaller version. Hopefully they'll start manufacturing larger ones and drive some competition (and the price point down) for the waterland tubs. That's some REALLY expensive plastic waterland is selling. Very cool plastic that I wish I had, but expensive none the less.

^ It is one guy, I'm sure his costs are high to produce, he's a nice guy, I've met him at a few shows. He always shares a booth with a few local turtle breeders.

:idea: So we just have to work out the timing of when you sell yours for a good price and I buy my knock-off for cheap.
