 A kiddie pool?

Hello. I have been saving up to get my turtle a bigger cage. But when I was on a website about red eared sliders I found out that some people keep them in kiddie pools. I checked this out and some can hold 2 or 3 hundred gallons. That would be wonderful for my turtle. A lot of the pools I have seen though are the inflatable kind. Could a turtle pop it? Anything I should be worried about? Thanks in advance.

I was thinking of using kiddie pools in the future (when I move out...and kidnap the turtle :D ) I wouldn’t trust the inflatable ones, turtles have sharp nails, and then if it bites down while trying to eat there could definately be a problem, even if it’s unlikely. I was looking more into those sturdy plastic ones, I think those would be safer personally.

Yes I was thinking the plastic ones too. But those are hader to find. Do you know where I might be able to get some? Thanks!

They make ones that have an inflatable ring at the top and the rest is made of a thicker material (i think it is rubber) So that could work even though they are pretty big if you were to have them in your house. I do not know anything about turtles but it would be pretty cool to have such a big habitat form them.
