Turtles

There are 2 red eared slider turtles in my house. My Mil bought it when her grandchildren came to visit us a few months back. Since then, they live in various types of 'accommodation'. The very first one we had was a plastic tank that measures approximately 20x10cm. Then we placed them a 2 litres plastic container after they started fighting. (After reading in a blog that animals kept in small areas have a greater tendency to be stressed and aggressive.) Thereafter, we purchased an Ikea storage box for them, and they had ample space to move around. However, without a proper filter system, we have to change the water on a daily basis.

Last weekend, T and I visited an aquarium and decided to purchase a complete tank system. For $83, we got a glass tank, an electric filter system as well as a lamp - which will be useful for the turtles to "sunbath". Now, our turtles enjoy a cleaner home and have more space to swim and rest. Hopefully, they wouldn't grow in size too soon. Else, we'll have to source for suitable accommodation again.
