Hi guys,

My friend has given me 2 red ear slider turtles which they had as pets for over 3 year’s
One is female which is approx. 7.5-8 inches long and 2.5-3 inches wide
The other is male, which is probably 2.5-inches long and 2 inches wide
Long story short, I have bought a 20GAL tank yesterday from Pet Smart just to have the turtles In some sort of water as they didn’t give me a tank as well.

I am looking to go to Pet Smart today to return the 20GAL tank and purchase a 75GAL + with stand, however my question to some people are is just this

- Is there an alternative than PET SMART to purchase? *I HAVE SEARCHED ON CRAIGSLIST however no RECTANGULAR tanks are being sold at this moment as turtles I feel the tank needs more width than height.

- What to feed
- Should I take it out the tank to walk
- How often to feed it?

Hard to determine as there is so much more content on the internet!

Thanks
