20 Gallon Tank Setup For New Baby Turtle! (Sheldon Jr.) 

So glad to be back making videos! Everyone meet Sheldon Jr!

Sheldon ain’t dead He went to see his turtle mates in heaven

Nice tank setup. It’s unfortunate what happened but like you’ve said before, everything happens for a reason. This little res turtle might not have made it out there and you’re giving it the best chance possible.

Smart choice to put the lid on the tank. Red-eared sliders are surprisingly good climbers. They can be escape artists. I used to have one that managed to climb out of his tank once and was found under my brother's bed about a week later. He's still alive apparently, but I had to rehome him when I moved about a decade ago. I gave him to a former teacher who kept a bunch of turtles and he had babies with a female red-ear that my teacher already had.

I choked on my soda when the little guy flipped over in the intro. 😂

After watching your videos I got inspired and got a turtle... I even made the above tank basking area out of egg crate. I just want to show my appreciation for your channel... Thank you and Rest In Peace to Sheldon...

Welcome Sheldon Jr. - he’s so cute- I wish you all the best with him!!

If anyone sees this comment... I hope you have a good day

I have a little Red Eared slider too you should giving him sugar peas mine loves them 😂🐢

The tank is sooo cool I really like it😂

Rip to the goat we will never forget u 💚💚💚💚💚💚

That turtle is so cute and he is so lucky to have that beautiful tank and all that room

i bet sheldon is watching sheldon jr from turtle heaven, happy someone else will be able to fill in the place he had accidentally lost

I loved sheldon I can't wait to see Sheldon Junior grow up too

Sheldon Jr has a great life ahead of him, from one turtle parent to another, you’re doing so great. Can’t wait to see more

why were there two bikes and only you in the beginning lol

this video was sooo helpful. My baby turtle wasn't eating pellets but we had the same container you used to feed him, and he took a day or two but he's eating pellets all the time now!!!

That rock with the water coming out looks dope & so does the whole tank

I guess things happen for a reason - it is bizzare that you found Jr just days before Sheldon disappeared!! You could never make this story up - right out of life!! Glad you are feeling better

He’s so adorable! Can’t wait to see more content with this little guy.

Sheldon Jr. Is adorable! My red eared slider is a 9inch female named Turbo. I got her a year ago. She loves human interaction. Although being touched isn't her favorite.

Long live the legend Sheldon R.i.p. welcome to the fam Sheldon jr. keep up the great work Carson 👍🏼💪🏼

So glad you got another turtle! Always be positive. This allowed you to save a turtle! ❤️❤️❤️. P.s love your videos I have 2 yellow bellies and a painted! And I got them in college and they helped me then and now

Carson, i hope you feel better and i also think that you should get a Clown Knife Fish for you pond because they get along with Koi and they are friendly after awhile of feeding.

Sheldon is reborn glad u found that lil one on ur ride

You’ve helped so much with my turtle, I rescued it from my little brother who had been keeping it secretly in a cooler. He was feeding it nothing but lettuce and had a fungal infection when I got him. Since then my baby red eared slider I would name Po has a 20 gallon tank, he’s on a proper turtle diet and his favorite things to do are hunt bugs and sleep on his rock.

Great video!! 1. I love that you saved Sheldon Jr! Poor fella looked so dried out in the road, he must have been tired, hot, thirty and hungry. 🐢☀️ 2. He looks like my baby turtle that I found in the road about 2 months ago. 3. It's so cool that he's in a tank with fish, thanks for telling us what kind of fish they are (keep us posted how how well they get along) 4. Love love love that turtle cliff!! Discreet filtration AND and basking rock all in one?!? Saaweeet. Keep us posted on how well it works. Personally I love the other filter that you had in there- that's what I use (but I hot glued rocks on it) 5. How funny that he kept climbing on the rock once you put him in. 6. Sheldon would be proud and grateful that you saved a fellow turtle. (PS. turtle are crafty escape artists!! In my heart, I bet Sheldon climbed out of the enclosure... and you know turtles, they can cover a lot of ground fast.. i bet he's out in nature exploring and trekking around. 👀 🐢🐾putting down some turtley turtle roots, starting his own little turtle family (well he's probably still too young for that, he's probably doing a little turtle speed dating, finding his right match 🐢💓🐢. Give it a year, you'll see more Sheldon juniors scampering around..little Sheldon offspring). Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it ☺✋👍. Live on Sheldon 🤜✌🐢👍🐾

Happy to see Sheldon Jr thriving and adapting to his new home. He's so cute!!

It’s good to see Little Sheldon(Junior) doing well...he’s really active!! Maybe that’s why you found him on the road....”get me the heck away from water!” 😂😂😂

That's my favorite times with RES turtles, I wish they always stayed hatchling-sized and always had that much energy lol. Especially when she's basking, my RES kinda just ignores me if she doesn't want anything from me.

No one will ever live up to Sheldon but I can already tell Sheldon jr gonna be goated too

Aw, Sheldon Jr. is precious. I’m happy for you and your new shell baby. Maybe Sheldon Jr. wasn’t liking the current too much at first and that’s why he kept going up to the basking platform..? Either way, you fixed the current and he seems more satisfied with it now. Lol I hadn’t thought of covering the container with a towel while feeding the turtles in a separate container. That’s clever.

Yes you got a new turtle

Awww, a cute baby red eared slider! I turtle hunt and years ago, I found two baby red eared sliders. One came to my fishing pole and I jumped into the lake and got him, and another one I handcaught him in the lake. They were both just a couple weeks old, and I had them for 6 years, they unfortunelty passed due to an infection that I did not catch in time.. RIP to Crush and Snapper, they were two good boys

Sheldon jr funny as hell

Awesome! A red-eared slider. I have 2!! Love em

The baby turtle is adorable. I have a red eared slider but she is 3 years old. LOL!

Yooo, Carson! That upper body strength! 💪🏾🖤Wow. SJ is a little mischievous, aint he? 😆 Also, great job on the handfeeding, Turtle Whisperer. I've been called the Dogfather 😅 so I understand. Great video. Glad to see you're in higher spirit. I've only been watching for the past few months, but im a fan. I'm inspired to make videos soon.

How can anyone unlike these videos carsons aquatics is obe of the best you tubers out there 👌😁

I am so happy that the turtle you found was lucky enough to find you keep up the good work 💚💚

Carson you are so lucky you have another star Sheldon jr. Good job man👍👍,still miss sheldon 😥😭😰

He is too cute and funny bro he will be happy with you. He would be very delighted that he got free from that big and scary road with so many dreadful challenges

Sheldon isn’t dead. He is in our heart♥️

So glad you feeling better sorry for you loss. Luckily you found a new turtle to start his new life

Thank you for inspiring us to have a pet.. Not just a pet, but a friend and a companion. ❣️

Sheldon will forever be with us. Sheldon's soul is in Sheldon JR . Sheldon JR. may you live on to live life at the fullest. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #Legend

Sheldon JR looked like he was a box turtle at heart haha! Sorry about Sheldon. I'm glad I found your page. You give good tips for a newbie like myself. I'm also in the StL area. Keep up the good work!

Red in Paradise Sheldon , got one myself Shelly a girl 🔥

Carson:what is he doing lol Sheldon jr:dun look at me ya fool

Great video, actually I think Sheldon Jr. is not so much afraid of the water as he is of the fish that are as big as he is-ha ha.

I felt like Sheldon was my turtle too. A piece of me died❤️💓

thank you so much for continuing your channel, you inspired me to get my own map turtle hatchling! i'm sure sheldon would be happy that you continued helping and rehoming turtles. sheldon jr is so cute!

That's awesome how you just stumbled upon Sheldon Jr! The whole reason we have a turtle (Eastern River Cooter), is because my cat, Bob brought us 2 baby turtles in March of this year. The first was a box turtle and we released him where we think the cat got him. The other we decided to keep and named him Yoshi. We think it's a boy but it's hard to tell till it gets older, but Yoshi is a part of our family now. 🐢❤️

Great video, you should get a brother for Sheldon Jr

I just hatched out a group of albino het snow red ear slider babies and setting up a tank myself to put with my albino pink belly sideneck turtles so I came to your channel to see if any new ideas were present. I do need some artificial plants I feel so thank you. I have my adults in a waterland turtle tub so I have not had a baby tank in many years as I raised the adults slowly to increase their life span from them being 3 days old originally. My adults are on a short video on my RU-vid channel as well as my albino pink belly sideneck turtles. I will be adding a video of the new baby tank soon but as mentioned, I wanted to get some ideas first. My water was murky as well and frankly I was confused as to why. Treating the water currently. Thank you for the ideas by the way. With hatching alot of albino het snows, I will be finding a few new homes for a few while keeping some back of course to enjoy and raise.

Great video. I really like your video's your video's inspired me I really happy that your channel exist!!

Aawww he looks like my little Mit-Shell a few months ago!! Good luck with this little bean ❤️

I’m glad to see you back. Sheldon Jr. is sooooo cute. Keep up the great videos.

SJ or Sheldon Jr is doing great. He will be fine and I am glad you were able to bounce back strong.

Sheldon Jr. Long may he reign.

I’m glad that timing was ironic so as soon as sadly, Sheldon has passed on 😔 you have a new pet turtle, Sheldon jr so Sheldon will live on with us forever. Your channel is awesome Carson 🤘

Lmao @ “you ain’t getting out homie “ same thing I told my turtle after he got in his tank..I just recently found mine October 10 few days after my birthday in a pile of rubbish at work now his name is lucky

Aww this for sure inspired me to make my little baby yellow belly sliders tank look more interesting.

Cool little dude!

YAY SHELDON JUNIOR IS SO CUTE im so sorry about sheldon. I lost my turtle too and it was devastating. Sending prayers for our turtle friend in heaven 🕊 💕

Because of Carson he inspired me to get 2 turtles who have been living with me for 2 months and I have been giving them the best life i can give them and they are happy with me they swim fast to the tank when I get near and they even let me pet their head and they let me handfeed

I just started watching your channel and I instantly got hooked.love the vids keep up the good work. Sorry to hear that Sheldon died

I think you should make vids of Taming the turtle , feeding live fish,Releasing to the pond. "CARSON THE TURTLE WHISPER"👍👍😁😁

Bro keep dropping bangers🥳👍🏾

Awesome set up man, I have turtles but haven’t raise one in a while. I think I want to raise a hatchling in something similar to your setup! Great video!👍

I’m so sorry for Sheldon I’ve been watching your videos since you got him he was an awesome turtle

I always forget hes a small youtuber I really enjoy your videos and always click on them as soon as I see the notification and I cant wait to see more about sheldon jr. and the box turtles

im sure sheldon jr. will live up to the sheldon legacy... sheldon cant be dead if he lives on in our hearts

I just got a baby turtle aww I’m obsessed now

I am so screwed. I found Rufus (snapping turtle) outside my back door last summer. His shell was smaller than a quarter. He is much larger now, and his water requirements are growing. He won't eat anything alive. He won't eat in his feeding tank, and he likes to be handfed. Any food I drop in his tank will just sit there until the next water change. People say they are isolationist, but he craves attention. I've grown really attached to him. Every time I pick him up I can feel he is getting heavier, stronger, and those super sharp claws. I can see how people release them after 5 years.

Excited to see his growth 😁😆

Thank you! Great tips!

SHELDON JR SHELDON JR YAAAA

You can go to Walmart and go to the fish and stuff section and buy them dried shrimps and they love it my turtles love it a lot

Glad to see that Sheldon Jr. is doing well, I was really sad to hear what happened to Sheldon. It was actually your videos that I started watching before I got my turtle, He's a little Map turtle named Tiki. :)

Aww at least the little dude *DIDN'T* die.
