Eastern long neck requirements

Hello all,

My partner has been begging me for a turtle... so i've told him he needs to do some research... but i'm going to do my own too. I know that Macley seem to be the smallest which would work well as it will be inside.... however he really wants an eastern long-neck... now...

1) What size tank will this require? We have a spare 4 footer and a spare (well we can make it spare) 2.5 footer.

2) Is this easy to look after for a beginner? I've read it is... just checking...

3) Who breeds them in QLD? And are they easy to freight?

Thanks!

Claire

very easy to keep, the 4 foot tank will be fine just make a step up so it can get out of the water and remember you need a reptile light

Just to clarify from above, a 4 foot tank will be ok to start with, but will be completely unsuitable when they are fully grown.

Cheers,
