I am just about to get turtles. I've been obsessed over the idea of tropical fish for forever... but the idea of being able to have something that was more petish seemed very appealing so aha! Turtles.

I've bought the turtle set up tank. I think it's a good size for babies but ive seen some larger ones at a pet shop i might buy in future. Smile

I decided to get two turtles (red eared ones) because i don't want them to be lonely. Im looking at getting a male and female.

I have lots of questions. I also want people to check and see that my turtle set up is sufficient but il put that on the proper board for it.

Anyway my name is Melissa, nice to meet you all!
Im 19, student. Ive been looking into how big of a job the cleaning and stuff is so i think im prepared!
