    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello, has anyone ever used those waterland tubs they sell online and in the reptile magazine for turtles? I seen the waterland tub site that sells them they say you could use them for about any reptile you can namee in it. I have had my 4 year old Red Ear Slider Turtle in a 4'x6'x 1.5 outdoor designed landscaped pond by me last summer he loved it alot but I brought him in about mid September so he wouldn't get too cold outside in the winter have him in a glass fish tank. I've heard of people using the rubbermaid livestock tanks for turtles before tho. let me know thanks, Paul :D
 
We have over a dozen waterland tubs of all sizes. They are great! With the bulkhead drains they are easy to service and filter. We just bought the large one to set-up a water monitor in.
 
Wow, I looked at their web site and those look good.
Sure looks like they would beat the 6 ft. X 2 ft, 320 gallon Ace Roto-Mold tank I had in our living room for a couple of years.

Do you have any pictures available of your tub setup??
and any filter suggestions??
thank you
 
I don't have any pics but set-up is very basic since you have a land area and a water area. We don't use filters. We drain and refill.
