 I am sooo HAPPY!!!!!
Okay, so guess what? I just built the new stand for my new turtle tanks!!!!! The stand is 6ft long. 2 and a half ft wide. And 3ft tall!!!!!! It is huge. It is going in my room, and we made it two stories, so i can keep tanks on the bottom, and on the top! My neighbor is a professional woodworker, and has every wood tool youcan think of. You know how Petco charges around 700- 1500$ for the tanks?! I got mine for 130$!!! That includes everything! I am soon going to have my uncle who is a pro at building tanks, build me a tank, or I am going to buy a tank built for saltwater (so it is strong) for m turtle. I am thinking aroun 135Gal? Is that a good life tank? Because hat is as far as I can go... ANYWAY!!! I am so excited to see the look on my turtles face when he can swim around his new hue tank! However, this whole big tnk thing proposes a problem...
MOM!!!!!!!!I told her about what I was doing and she laughed at me like i was retarded! I have no idea how I am going to convince her to let me get a tank so big! Her #1 concern is how I am goung to clean it. And my cousin and uncle have giant tanks and know how to do all of this syuff. I told them about everything, and they said, when it is time to clean the tanks, hey would come over and hep me! So I am now worrying bout filters. I am thinking about getting one of the ones that go under that tank. And my cousin can get me a deal so i am soooo lucky! He has 2 pirannahs is a 180 gal tank, so he knnow about big aquariums. Tmarow he is going too take me to a place to go look at everything and I am so excited! I am sorry for how long this post is, but I am so friggen excited!!!!!!!

Well, this years for my birthday i got 800 dollars, but i bought a new ipod, rockband, and a whole bunch oof supplies firmy turtles and then i bought a betta. So I only have enough money to pay for the stand right now, and then I will do chores, and summer jobs to get the money for the filtration system, tank, and other essential turtle stuff. So all in all i will spend somewhere around 300-500 dollars in stuff. So, ya. i can’t wait!

I have a huge family... so... ya..., and I do some summer jobs, like caring for animals, and my chores. Also, when we go places and get some oaey to spend, I will save it and put it toward animals. I mean my turtle right now is an adul RES. He is 6 inches long, and is in a 20Gal tank. Now tell me he doesn’t need an upgrade? This turtle should have gotten an upgrade years ago! I am also going to take him for a full body health checkup at my local exotic vet. It is rediculous how much it is for a checkup!! It is 78$ for one checkup! But on the website they have this thing where if you are a first time customer you get a free checkup on your first visit!!!!
