Pink-bellied Sideneck Turtle

I'm a boy Australian pink-bellied sideneck turtle (Emydura subglobosa) for adoption near Gambrills, MD. I'm for adoption because I'm being rude to a tank mate, so I should be an only turtle in an enclosure. My shell is 6-7", so I need at least a 55-gallon aquarium or 50-gallon Rubbermaid stock tank to call my own, although larger is good, too. I need a strong filter (external canister or DIY preferred), a basking area, and UVB and heat lights. My care is the same as for a slider, but I'll need the water around 74-77F and I can't hibernate. I eat pellets such as Omega One, Mazuri, and ZooMed Growth, and greens such as leaf lettuce and edible weeds. If interested, please email [email protected] and include your city, state, and "male Pink Belly Sideneck turtle in Gambrills, MD" in the body of the email to request an application. Like turtles but can't have one?
