I disagree with any kind of water turtle that gets as big as a red eared slider, will be the next hot pet, they are sooo dirty. They are not easily kept alive under say wrong conditions, with animals like leopard geckos and ball pythons, corns and what not there is ALOT of room for error for the public to have. I mean I can set up an iguana for like 50 bucks but it that going to work, no. Red ears need at least a 30 gallon (with a 55-60 being recomended) which is a good 40-50 probably more. Plus 15 for a light fixture, 7 for the bulb. 20 for the screen top. This is why unless another teenage mutant ninja turtle movie comes out turtles won't be very popular. As far as aquatic herps, look for wild caught leopards, bullfrogs and pet shop firbellies and green tree frogs to remain top dog.
