My newly adopted R.E.S.
Well thanks to Casacrow for putting me onto Little Ray's Adoption Program, I am now the proud owner of a Red Eared Slider. Originally, I had the little guy setup in a 33 gal tank but felt he could use the extra space. So in the pouring rain, I went out into the backyard and dug up my pond (never did like it where it was), cleaned it all up and now it lives in what used to be my dining room. 
He/she is about 8" in length, healthy, eats like a pig and very active. Guess he likes his new digs, as he hasn't stopped checking things out for the past three hours. Now my wife knows I have lost my mind..  Here's a few pics of the new kid.
Thanks for looking
Cheers
Jim

Thanks all,
The little guy has settled in nicely and is using the entire space to explore. Since taking the pics, I have removed a bunch of rocks to give him more room to swim. There is a submersible filter in the pond and I will be picking up a Python 25 today for making the water removal much easier
Cheers
Jim

By the way, with this new addition....you win.

Brian,
I'll take that as a compliment Hope Rose doesn't want a diningroom set anytime soon. Problem is now I have a big hole in the backyard to fill.. Of course once you take your babies I will have more room and more empty tanks. Hmmm..wait til you see what I have in mind to fill them. BTW your little Mexican ate yesterday, on his own, F/T pinky, this makes three successful feeds in a row... See you soon..
Jim

Shannon, if I turn it into a dog house then that means I would have to get another dog. "Kelly" certainly would not use it (she owns the whole house as it is right now)..or were you talking about the dog house for me. If that is the case well I guess the "basement" is already dug. Come on over any time. Maybe you can help decorate my new "digs"
