Captain America Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Does it smell at all? I was going to have my fish in my bedroom. So don't really want a smelly tank in my bedroom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseyBoi Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Doesnt smell at all..But i have a air tube making bubbles all day and a small filter.Only when the water gets stagnant that it begins to stink........The only bad point i have upto now is feeding it bloodworms as it constantly keeps the water brown...After these worms run out im not gonna buy any more...Im gonna feed him on pellets and fresh fruit and veg....Today already he has eaten a piece of carrot a piece of cabbage and now hes munching a slice of apple....

JaseyBoi Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Heres himLoving this turtle like..Id highly recommend a map turtle there characters thats for sure.They have pretty miserable looking faces too as they sit their on their rock, like they are pondering your living room, and thinking that it's shit. I dig that.That is defo one of there characteristics...Also when you look at them for a period all of a sudden the neck comes right out and he winks at ye then his neck goes back in and he looks at you like its all shit lol.....

Guest Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 My friend just bought a turtle in his gap year in China. Anyone know what the protocall is for him bringing it back into the UK? I've been informed it's the most common species of pet turtle...He's called it Donnatello, too.Also, nice turtle pictures.I fucking love turtles.

It'll keep him fed until your mate can buy an over-priced bottle of water onboard to splash him with or alternatively fill up the wash-hand basin and leave him in there for the duration of the flight.
