Not me but an old friend of mine had a red eared slider. It looked god awful to take care of it. He had like a giant plastic tank, think its called a stock tank or something, which took like at least 1/4 of their room space. Then there was another big box filled with sand and dirt that he said was for eggs since apparently they just lay them whenever. He probably slept great though since all you heard was the filter whenever you walked in. Not sure how long it took to clean the giant tank but I can only imagine it must of taken hours.
