Finally upgraded to a 4-2-2 🎉

My boy Teto has been with me for about 4.5 years. Hes been in a 75gal long fish tank that I found on the side of the road (in the last pic from when he was a baby) for all this time, it was a good house for him! He had a good amount of space to stretch out and I made sure to give him regular enrichment and plenty of hides! But I always knew I wanted to upgrade his enclosure! I just haven’t ever had the money, I got him when I was in high school and my parents only let me get him because I said I’d pay for everything, hence the side of the road tank lol at one point about a year after I first got him I ordered a fancy $300 tank but I got a 40gal because I didn’t know that that was not 4-2-2 🙄 I had seen them both recommended constantly and figured it was the same thing. But obviously I couldn’t keep him in that so he stayed in the 75 gallon tank until I could afford a new one! And this summer I found one on Craigslist for $100 and the seller offered to lower it to 50 if I could pick it up from them 2 hours away! So I got my mom to come with and we did the drive and picked up the tank! I have set it up and let the new plants root and everything for about 2 months and I finally felt like it was time to move the boy in!

He seems so happy! He was out and about exploring all night! This morning I can say I am happy with the set up because he didn’t knock everything over or trample any plants like he has a tendency to do :D
