Answer 1

Not often but you can have one custom made. A good website to go to is: www.midwestcustomaquariums.com They are not too expensive in my experience.

Answer 2

I don't think they're typically made like that, but you can have one custom built for you.

Answer 3

  just go to home depot, buy a 90 gallon pond tub, they are made of like heavy resen or plastics. They are 90 gallon and only 40 bucks, thats what I got they work great, then design the setup and dock. then go to my profile and email me ill send a great reptile link

Answer 4

The sketch you had is not a good Red-ear habitat. They prefer deep water and simple logs to dry out on- they really don't like shores or beaches. A good habitat for the first few years is a simple 40 deep or bigger with a good log basking site.

Try http://www.redearslider.com for great care info.

Answer 5

no but you can get a normal tank and make a slope yourself, whether it's with rocks or what not...

Answer 6

First off they cost  allot of $$$$ and start out with a55 gal plus size tank and great filtration system for Aquatic turtles I say do it!

They are the cutest!

Sliders, cooter, painted, map, yellow bellied all are basically the same and require the same basic care. I have had my 2 slider  girls for 36 yrs. Plus an 8 and 5 yr old and now.

Unless you can find someone to build a specific tank for you, and customoize it.

What Madkins says is so true they just need a basking log or dock.these guys bask in the light alllll day. The sleep in the water at the bottom of the streams or rivers at night so predators won't eat them.

The bigger the environment the bigger the healthier the turtle.

Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA for 8 to 10 hrs a day for the vitamin D that they need to grow. So that means getting a turtle dock also.

Leave the heater on 75 to 78 degrees always.

Their water needs to be clean otherwise they get sick easily from dirty water cause they p**p allot.

You need a good filter system! Gravel larger than they can swallow.

You need to feed them feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows for protein and calcium daily drop 20 or so in the tanks and watch them disappear! This way when they swim for their dinner they get exercise also!

They need leafy greens( Romaine, Butter lettuce. Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 3 to 4 times a week.

You probably already know that they get sick easily, shell rot, respiratory sickness, lopsided swimming, coughing,blowing bubbles
