#237: 284L Paludarium Aquatic Turtle Paludarium

Comments

This is not really a Paludarium in either direction. It's a pleasant turtle tank but neither the land nor the water area are well developed in terms of planting. Understandable in a turtle home but this is a Paludarium category in an aquatic gardening contest. this tank just can't do well here.

This is a great turtle habitat! You've done a good job of providing ample aquatic space as well as terrestrial basking area.
