Reptiles Anyone?

We're trying to find a good home for a couple of our pets. I'd rather give them to someone I know rather than sell them on craigslist to anyone...

We have a water turtle who's really quite easy to maintain. He'll come with a really big tank (I think it's 20 gallons??), a heat stick thingy (you put it in the water to keep it warm...), a light for him to bask in, and then of course all the rocks and stuff in the tank, and all the food. His tank has filters, which we have some extra right now (and you'll get those too) and those should probably be changed about once a month or so and then we use distilled water to prevent hard water build up in his tank. If you have soft water you might not have to buy distilled. I'm not sure though. Bennett loves to feed him and watch him swim. Let me know if you want to come check him out! And I can send pics too. I don't think he's a red-ear slider because his ears aren't red but he's some sort of poisonous turtle- but only if you were to eat him. So just wash your hands after you touch him and you'll be fine.

We also have a fire belly toad. This guy is pretty old. We've had him since we lived in Utah (almost 3 years ago...) and their life span is only 3-5 years (I think). But he's really easy to take care of too. He comes with a 10 gallon tank, lots of rocks, and some water bowls he basically lives in. You'll need to feed him small crickets once a week but those are really cheap at Petco or Petsmart. It's under $2 a week to buy him food. He's fun to watch also. Bennett likes dumping the crickets into his cage and watching him catch them. Oh, he also has a heat lamp that'll come with his cage, and a filter if you want to make his cage mostly water, with a little rock. It's opposite of that right now.


Anyways, let me know if you want to come look at either of them. We really need to find homes for them before I start stressing about it as the move gets closer!!
