 Re: Help with a build
Aquatic turtles must be in water to eat. Has something to do with the way they swallow. If you're worried about the food clouding the water you could feed him in a tupperware container with a few inches of water.
IMO a piece of plexi glass would probably be the easiest and cheapest thing to make the basking are out of. Cut it to the size of the top of the tank with a piece that extends out to use as the ramp. Boil the ramp piece to make it soft and then bend it down. Once it cools you can cover the plexi in whatever you want. Some people like to silicone gravel or sand over the entire thing so the turtle has something to grip on. After that all you need is a fence around it to keep the turtle from exploring outside of his tank. |
