I had to rearrange the tank over the weekend. Poor Spot and Squiggles were getting stuck in spots since they have gotten bigger.
I really like it now and they must like it too!! They are in the water all the time and I haven't seen them once on the basking side.
It worried me at first b/c I thought they couldn't get out of the water. I soon found out they could when I lead Spot out of the water with a peice of food.

Here's what it looks like now...

here's Spot. He's my favorite!

Here's Squiggles...

another pic...They are just so cute!

I just can't get over how friendly they are. As soon as I walk up to them, they swim up to the glass or do this.....

your tank looks fantastic and your kids are adorable!

Glad you like it.
I just love these little guys. They are so cool! I'm really glad they're both boys so they'll stay small. I am thinking about an indoor pond for them eventually.

that would be fantastic. I'd really like to have an indoor pond but i dont think it would be feasible in my house. Although, i am going to have to do some rearranging soon because i have my turtles on the second floor and i have 16 of the little buggers. I'm thinking a few baby pools might be the way to go soon. I'd love to see your pond when/if you do it!

yeah, I know what you mean about not having room. I didn't have room for these guys so I put them in the floor under the bar. Everyone that comes over here is in shock when they see all the tanks. In the livingroom is a 44 g FW tank and in my dining room and kitchen(seperated by the bar) is a 10g FBT tank, 30 g FW, 60g reef tank, 55g turtle tank, a 20gH with 3 betta'(divided of course, a 40 breeder tank with hermit crabs, 60g- ball python, 40 breeder-2 cornsnakes, and a very large lizard lounge with 2 more cornsnakes. It's great!! I don't have to turn any lights on in the house until the timers go off.

Cool tank, cute "kids". But remember, "parents" shouldn't have favorites! lol

I'll never tell Squiggles that Spot's my favorite...hehehe

That is a fantastic set up - i am hoping to get something bigger for my little guy coz he's outgrowing the tank that he is in at the moment! Looks like a lovely serene haven for ur kids :0)
