Question
I just got a red eared slider turtle and I can't find a tank to put him in. Right now he is in a 10 gallon fish tank but it just won't work for what I know he will need. Where do I get a proper tank?

Answer
HELLO CONGRADULATIONS ON YOUR NEW SHELLED FRIEND.
Im sure you have access to places like craigs list, however if you can try a rescue. they have tanks donated alot and instead of buying one from someone, donate money toward the furthering care of reptiles.  Contact shelters and rescues see if someone would let you dontate some money like 20 and then you get a larger tank and a reptile gets a better chance.
