Can i put plastic in my red eared slider tank?
-
i just bought 2 red eared slider turtles for my science project, and i put them in a large, oversized ziploc tubberware container type thing. no top. i put them both in there and a put a little teeny rock in the middle. big enough for one turtle at a time to climb on. im worried that both of them will need air at once and they will need a bigger surface.i have a clean empty plastic thing that i think would be great. its what a pack of razors came in. is it okay to stick that in there? and what other things can i pu in there? like household items, not things i have to buy. also, what is the minimum amount of water to put in there? thanks for the help.

Answer:
If you're going to keep them long you need a filter, heater, and plenty of water. They LOVE to swim. Plastic is fine, that's what I use in my tank. Maybe try putting a container of some sort in there though. A tall-ish one. And put a rock on top so it doesn't float up. Red Sliders NEED a place to sit. They can't be underwater all the time. they also need proper light. A basking light (that gets hot, about 90 degrees) AND a UVB light. If you do not get a UVB light or a basking light, you need both keep in mind, they will get a disease called soft shell and die.
