Check out the DGHT for some recommendations for shops. I'm sure someone there can help you.

3ft tank with 2 turts in there. Reading through the posts here, I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that I will have to upgrade the size at some point. I will also be taking out the gravel at the weekend.

I'll post a piccy of the tank soon. Cheers

Nice tank, when you are taking the gravel out why not increase the water level a bit, that way they'll have more swimming space and a less humid basking spot

For even more swimming space you could take out that big basking spot and wedge a bit or corkbark to make a new basking spot. that they can swin under.

Wink cheap pond..

matey if ur in Belgium then its a warmer climate than here in the uk so why dont u just get a cheap pond and put the sliders outside if you can that is and u dont live in a flat lol...
that would be a better option if u ask me....
if you`ve got the sun shine use it.....
i put my yellow bellies and my red eared slider out come march time in their outside pond...
i bet you can get one for 40 euro`s from a garden ctr....
and just order ur bulbs from a uk web site... most will ship out...
or even a yankee doodle dandee site.. lol..
take care pal and enjoy ur sliders..
