What can I keep in the paludarium with my turtles?
I am in the process of building a new paludarium for my diamondback terrapin (and possibly a red eared slider, if they get along, that has outgrown an acquaintance's enclosure and needs a new home.) and I'm looking for advice for other inhabitants. I have a few ideas myself but I'm interested to see what others might come up with. Friendly and handle-able is preferable but not required.
The system design is very flexible at this time aside from the footprint.
The inside dimensions are 72" x 27"(13.5 sqft), the bottom/aquatic section (freshwater) is 26" deep. The solid ground area will be irregularly shaped/distributed but will be roughly 8 sqft (water goes back underneath the land to provide maximum space for the turtle(s). The upper/terrarium section will be 3-4ft tall so there will be plenty of room for arboreal inhabitants. I can make it so the turtles have a roughly 2 sqft cave like basking area (equipped with their uva/uvb basking lights etc..) and limited access to the rest of the ground/terrarium area if that is preferable. (There really is no limit to what can be done with regard to the system design.)
