Description
I need to find a new home my turtle, Walter. I hate to do this, but we’ve found out my dad has cancer so I’m moving to be closer to him and won’t be able to take him with me. It’s important to me that Walter goes to a good home. I’m ok with him going to a home for free without the full set up below, but only if you have a tank that’s 75 gallons or larger for him. I got Walter a few months ago from someone who wasn’t taking very good care of him (no heat lamps, too small of tank that was never full of water, no filter, etc.). He’s seen a vet and the vet said he’s a healthy ~10yr old RES. He has a slight case of dermatitis (a bit of shedding and rosy color on some parts of him) and is taking a Vitamin A supplement, but the vet said he’s not concerned and it should clear up with the supplement, frequent water changes and now that he's in a tank with a filter. All of his food (3 kinds), the Repashy Vitamin A+ supplement, and a bottle of water conditioner will go with him. Please note that I have Ramshorn snails in one of my other tanks that I regularly transfer to Walter’s for him to feed on, thus you're likely to find some in his tank / on the driftwood. For $350, you’ll get: - 75 gallon tank - holds water / no leaks. One of the glass parts on one of the lids is missing, but I never used that lid anyhow since I have the basking area on that whole side. - Stand - 50" W x 28" H x 20" D - Basking area w/ coconut coir and ceramic tile to protect his claws and help him climb the ramp - https://www.petsmart.com/featured-brands/thrive/thrive-turtle-elevated-basking-loft-59185.html?cgid=5000640&fmethod=Browse - Heat lamp - UVB lamp - 4 pieces of medium to large driftwood - White aquarium sand - I put this in initially but took it out as I found I could keep the tank cleaner without it. The sand will need a good cleaning as it's been sitting in my shed. - Fluval E300 Heater - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VMSK0I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - AquaClear 110 Power Filter - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000260FV6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Walter would benefit from a second or a more powerful filter. - 2 replacement carbon filters for AquaClear - 1 replacement BioMax filter for AquaClear - TopFin CF100 Filter with various hoses - The person I bought my tank from also gave this to me and said it worked but needed new cartridges. I’ve never used it thus can’t guarantee it does. - 50ft Python Aquarium Maintenance System for water changes - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000255NXM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Python Hook (brand new, still in package) - https://www.amazon.com/Python-Hands-Free-Spill-Aquarium-Green/dp/B01654SSXA/ - RV Water Filter (I use this instead of conditioners) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00523AMBC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Small tank (I think 10 gallon) - can be used for transport, when changing his water and/or for feeding - Marineland Maxi-Jet - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IMPOJ8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Location is Colorado Springs, near Ute Valley Park. Must pick up. Email me if interested.
