Mississippi Mud Turtle(Kinosternon subrubrum hippocrepis)

if i wanted to use rock in the tank... where would be the best place to get it... the orange store(HD)?
 
I guess you could go to Home Depot and look for slate. You can probably even get them at a garden center.
 
Broken slate tiles work well, too :D

do I have to use slate? or can I use granite that I found out back? They were brought in for the man made lake out back there is a huge pile of left overs... really really nice pieces.

Well I bought the containers tonight and I have a lay out in mind... if I wanted a "land" area with a basking rock but also wanted to plant around it what should I plant into and what sorts of plants?

Ill draw up a pic really quick....
 
its a rough drawing i know... lol

but the idea is there...

They're pretty nice looking Kinosternon species. Here's my male Red-Cheek Mud Turtle, Kinosternon cruentatum.
