Burt The Turtle's New Home

[omgitsapibble]

I thought I'd show y'all the tank belonging to Burt, my new box turtle.

It's a 75 gallon tank - he's got plants, real driftwood, a basking brick (the red brick under his heat lamp), and an eating brick (the larger round brick). He's also got his watering pool, with a pump running in it that blows little air bubbles to help keep the humidity up in his tank.

Eventually, and soon, I'm going to build a waterfall with slate and pond rocks, and install a small pond pump with a filter. This way the water will stay cleaner longer, plus I like the waterfall look. Also, the tank will be planted with live plants.
