Michigan Map (water turtle)

I'm a full-grown (5.5" shell length) male Mississippi map turtle for adoption near Ann Arbor, Michigan. I can come with my current 20-gallon set-up, although I need something larger long-term, preferably at least a 55-gallon aquarium or 50-gallon Rubbermaid stock tank with a basking area, heat light, UVB light, and good external canister filter or DIY "Skippy" type filter. I eat Mazuri aquatic turtle pellets would would probably like greens from time to time. I was purchased from a chain pet store, so I cannot be released to the wild. <br/><br/>No shipping! If interested in adopting, please include your city, state, and "Michigan map" in an email to matts_adoptions@hotmail.com and they will email you an application. <br/><br/>Pictures of examples of good set-ups are included with my picture. <br/><br/>Here's a very good e-book for those starting with aquatic turtles:<br/>https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/red-eared-sliders-katrina-smith/1102168496?ean=9780793849246 or on Amazon.<br/><br/>If you need to learn a little more about painted turtles, here's a great book on aquatics, and it can be DOWNLOADED FOR FREE AT https://www.lulu.com/shop/richard-lunsford/captive-care-of-north-american-water-turtles/ebook/product-17551523.html<br/><br/>Like turtles but can't have one?
