    Wow it seems that you really take good care of your terrapin. Wouldn't it try to escape via that piece of wood you propped up on the "land" area?
    Also when the terrapin gets bigger it may be far too easy for it to escape, but thats when it grows bigger.

    its still too small for it to climb out ( i hope ) ...when its bigger i'll make a new tank ... i belief if you want to keep pets ...give it the best or don't have one at all

    Really envy that terrapin..Very rare to see terrapin having such good tank. Most people just put them inside bare tank, filled with some water and wait til the water's fouling then they change. That's just very sad.

    Regarding your setup, how about some java ferns or other hard leave floras?

    Nice! The ramp leading to the basking area reminds me of Big Splash

    Wow..you redone your tank! Nice work on the basking area! How much did it cost you for the ramp and basking area? I found this lamp which I think you can use for your UVB needs.

    Fits into your lamp I believe but you may have to source for it. Think Petmart may still be your best bet. Or you could have it delivered from overseas.

    Have fun with your tank!

    Hi! I think your set up is great for RES!
    Anyway, I am planning to have a set up like yours, and would like to have the basking area like yours as well.
    May I know where did you get the basking area? Where was it customised?
    Thanks!!
