I have one of those now, they are very low maintenance! I got mine from friend who's kid wa over it. I have had it about 2 years. The best part is that you can had some fish in the tank too. Its kind of an experiment, but my turtle does just fine with an african ciclid that is close to the same size.

Of course 3 of the 4 were buried in the mulch. I was straightening up after them and boiling their logs. They all must be boys cause they're the sloppiest damn creatured I've ever seen. I made the tank all nice and neat and they dump the water bowls, put mulch and their logs in them, move all the extra shells around.

did you get all of their stuff at petco? We have three (one for each kid) that we got in OC in May, and I have been wanting to get them a better place to live and some climbing things, but didn'tthink they would have it at petco or anywhere local....

Yep, at Petco. The have a whole bunch of stuff just to the left of where the hermit crab tank is. I paid big bucks for the damn hermit crab sand which the didn't seem to like nearly as much as the mulch. Crapola is expensive. They have all the water conditioners, extra shells, bedding, etc that you need.
