Have you ever asked what do you need to have a pet turtle? These are 10 things EVERY turtle keeper needs...and maybe #3 is not that shocking but it sounds funny so I put it in the title anyway 😂 Before you get a turtle, you'll obviously need some supplies - like a tank, a filter, a basking area, etc. This video is to help make sure you have the main essentials to care for a turtle. This is not a comprehensive turtle care guide, but hopefully a helpful tool that covers the basics. Links to all the things mentioned are below (affiliate)!
Tank - Get it at the dollar per gallon...don't buy it online lol
Decor - amzn.to/3lf8X9j
Basking Area - Above tank amzn.to/3rgZhyQ Floating dock amzn.to/3nXzQjC
Heat and UVB Lighting - amzn.to/3xu67C5
Timer - amzn.to/3HZJXfR
Filter - Canister amzn.to/3Ga1RuP Hang-on-tank amzn.to/32sZzYT

Help! I found a yellow slider in the bottom of my 9ft chlorinated pool..I believe she was dropped by a bird as she was the size of a nickel.. I've got 3 different tanks one heated for the cooler months, one I bring her onto the back porch in to get sunshine & one I put her in when I'm cleaning both out. She's now 14months still a bit smaller than a silver dollar..here's my trouble she can't seem to get swimming down pat..she steps on her rocks & stretches as far as she can but, inevitably will wind up floating on the top all limbs out looking exhausted. I have 0% clue how to help her..she likes her tablets but, hates crill, dried tiny shrimp & live (turtle approved) plants which is no biggie.. Anyone have tips on her lack there of swimming?? Thanks!! 🐢🙂

@@NuclearSalmon Hi thanks yes, I do keep it shallow where her little head can get above the water.. I've given her a landing spot so she can walk up but, she doesn't get how to use it (?) I'll put her on top & she walks of the side after a few mins back into the water. I've tried several times to fill it just a bit out of her range to encourage a small swim to the surface (I watch, I don't walk away) but, it ends with a tired float & I have to take the water level down..I've wondered too if it's cause from the chlorine or even maybe taken out of her egg to soon. I feel so bad I always think she's so bored not being able to swim around 😔..Thank you for your reply 🐢

Love your videos. I rescued a freshly hatched red eared slider from my yard last month. He had lost an eye some how and the wound had fly strike. I spent 2 hours removing the fly larvae and really didn’t expect him to make it, but with a cold front coming thru I thought “warm and dead” was better than cold and dead. It’s been about six weeks and he is thriving. The wound healed well, he finally started to eat, and his swimming has gotten so strong! His shell even appears to be growing. I had planned to over winter him and release to my dads pond in spring, but with only one eye his depth perception appears affected. Sometimes it takes him several tries before he’s able to grab his food. I have no experience with aquariums or turtles, but I’m learning and making improvements. I’ve found I really enjoy watching him. His name is Wink ;)

I also have my adult common musk in a 40 gallon breeder with an FX4 canister like yours. She does not seem to want to bask anymore though. She used to do it when she was younger but now I never see her up there on the platform.

I know you might think my question is silly. Could hatchlings get indigestion? What happened was I took out my hatchling from the tank and fed her in a separate container while I cleaned the tank. When I placed her back after a few hours the feeding machine dropped food in her tank because I forgot to reset it. I think she ate most of the food before I could scoop them out. My hatchling had been defecating so much but the stool was normal. She did not eat for three days after that.

Great advice, as always. One thing that I would add: a GFCI adapter. Setting up gallons of water and plugging-in pumps and heaters and lighting... well, that could be shocking indeed. Equip your system with a GFCI so any mishap will blow a simple breaker rather than zapping you or your turtles and fish. It doesn't happen often; but when it does, it's tragic!

Hi turtle girl me and my sister have been asking for a southern painted turtle for Christmas (preferably a male) we have been watching all of your videos to learn to take care of the turtle and we have decided sand flooring some rocks and wood around with a above tank basking area getting the same heat and uvb lights as you use for Hokus tank (also we think Hoku is adorable) we are thinking of getting a 40 gallon tank for the turtle, how often would you feed the southern painted turtle and what type and size of a filter we should use thanks so much for the help :)

I am sorry if I am sharing too much but I see you have a water heater hanging in your aquarium. the turtles can burn themselves on that heater as it gets really hot. as they are reptiles they won't feel it until it's too late. I have a piece of downspout and drilled holes in it with the heater laying in it. that prevents them to get burned from the heater.

@@TheTurtleGirl okay 😊👍🏻 didn't seen that there was something around the heating part. whenever they lean on it to rest in the water and the heater is on they burn themselves instantly. often they want to be close to the heater for some extra warmth. so a protective cover is essential for them.

I have 3 baby red earred slider turtles for about 6 months in a 50gal tank outside for the spring and summer, and a 10gal tank inside for the winter. I've changed the outside tank twice and the inside tank about 3 times. Just bought 5 guppies today and tonight I only have 2 left. Who would have thought it??? I know I feed (baby shimps and pellets daily and a small leaf of lettuce once a week) them well. I tried to stop the turtles (names Larry, Curly and Moe) from messing with the guppies with a net, but it did nothing... I'm hoping in the morning I will have any fish...

So I have a question I have a red eared slider and I have the same basking spot that u do. What I noticed though is that the grate on the top isn't big enough to fit 2 light domes on. And uvb doesn't penetrate thru plastic so please tell me what u do about that. Currently I have a uvb light that's a long tube, made by Zilla. I have it placed over the water because of the fact it won't penetrate thru plastic. Do u have a solution or do u feel it's ok for the uvb to be over top the water rather then the basking spot?!
@TheTurtleGirl
@TheTurtleGirl 2 года назад
Thats a great question Danielle! Its true that the effectiveness of uvb is greatly reduced by glass and plastic. Maybe either have a portion of it over the grate part that isn’t blocked, or do it over the tank and also have a little place inside the tank where the turtle can be near the surface of the water or even get out fully. :)

I have two turtles, I have a red ear slider and a musk turtle. But I have a ledge for my red ear slider and my musk turtle is very small and she has a platform that she can go in and she sleeps alot. But i had upgrade there tank to a 55 gallon tank and my turtles love it they have a lot of room to swim. I had upgraded there 20 gallon long tank to a 55 gallon tank. Do you have any recommendations for my red ear slider he wants to hide with my musk turtle but I dont what I can get for him.

How about a big piece of wood where the turtle can hide? Or some floating plants to provide cover from the surface!

Hi I have a red eared slider and his basking area is a floating dock. Is it bad that he has one? You recommended a above tank basking area that is why I am wondering. And I also had a question on tank heater. I was wondering if you need a tank heater 24/7? What if it’s summer and your house is warm? Would the water heater still need to be on ?
@TheTurtleGirl
@TheTurtleGirl 2 года назад
As long as the turtle doesnt sink it, can get completely and its big enough for him to move around a bit then thats fine. I just prefer above tank basking areas because you can fill the tank up more with those typically.

tank heaters auto shut off when the preset temp is met, it turns back on if the water temp dips below the set temp. basking areas are entirely up to you, it doesnt have to be above tank, but it does provide more room for the turtle to roam giving it options.

@TheTurtleGirl 2 года назад
maybe try scenting the pellets with tuna water? Otherwise, they just may not and you';ll just have to increase your water changing schedule.

My turtles Pepper and Mango won’t eat in a separate container and refuse to use the basking area. They are both still young, will they grow out of this?

I'm late to reply but turtles can easily cost up to $100 - $200. They can also live a very long time, red eared sliders for example can live up to 50 years.
