Tank's new home suits him very well. This is a 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank. I built a do-it-yourself filter system that keeps his water clean. It requires maintenance every couple of days since a large turtle like this puts out a lot of waste. Tank and I continue to spend a lot of time together. His foot infection is under control but he'll probably require surgery on them to complete the healing process. Tank is in his Spring heat/rut at this time and very restless. This time of the year his body tells him to mate and that just isn't possible. Even during these troubled time for Tank he remains a pleasant, docile turtle. I love working with him and am glad we are buddies.
