Hey all! I just got a tiny little yellow bellied slider form my local reptile shop after doing some research on their needs and how large they grow!
His name is Rio and he is pretty shy, but will take shrimp from my hand when I feed him!
He is SO DARN CUTE, I must say.
Attached are some pics of his tank set up. He has a 20-gallon tank for now until he gets a bit bigger, UVB and basking lamp, turtle topper for basking, a little hide away terra cotta pot and vines (HE LOVES THE VINES), smooth river stones as the substrate, thermometer, small underwater light close to under the topper, and I'm running an Aquaclear 70, which seems to be working very nicely.
Other than a water heater (I live in Florida and its unbearably hot here right now), am I missing anything?! Is there something you see wrong with my setup? I'm looking into getting some egg crate to cover the exposed top of the aquarium so he cant escape also.
