Just a quick project I did for Franklin, my red ear slider so he has a more comfortable basking spot, and a way to get in and out of the pool on his own!

get yourself a man who is this extra with his pets

@patron1069 3 месяца назад

This turtle was living a life unlike any other turtle had lived before😂😂😂😂, and what a fascinating creature you've chosen to feature in your content! Bravo!

@OKScottT 7 лет назад

I was wondering how old you are. I've watched several of your videos and I'm really impressed with your presentation and knowledge of reptiles. I look forward to what you bring to the future of the reptile hobby.

@shuaibahmed904 7 лет назад

Nice vid and I think Franklin is happy about the bridge

@svrack 7 лет назад

I love this video so much. The part where Franklin is snoozing in the bridge is the cutest. Its so nice to see how Franklin has gotten to be so happy over the last 8 months. Also if you can find water hyacinth turtles love that. You can usually find them at aquatic plants stores. And if you set up a smaller or aquarium where the plants will not be disturbed they will self reproduce. So eventually you can have a constant supply.

1:20 Turtle dance woot woot!!! 🐢🐢💜💜

@PaigeKalish 7 лет назад

You should add some quick fish to the pool, like (rosy red minnows) My turtles used to live in an indoor 55 gallon tank and couldn't catch the fish their, so I'm sure it would work out in your little pond!!

@sinistercinna1856 7 лет назад

Your turtle is so cute when he was sleeping

@austinburton9247 7 лет назад

Very creative idea! Enjoyed the video too, Franklin is like a little puppy basically lol

@angieg4811 4 года назад

Your turtle is so social. Love your pool idea.👍

@nephilaedulis2073 7 лет назад

Some good water plants that turtles eat are java fern and common water weed. These are pretty common and you can get them from aquarium supply stores

@doreentan1437 5 лет назад

Had been thinking of building a ramp and I like your idea ! Thanks.

@deniseemond9263 7 лет назад

My turtles loved Duck Weed and mini cat tails. They didn't touch the water Lilly's. And the flowers are beautiful. Also if you put a bunch of minnows or feeder guppies in your turtle will be healthier from the calcium she/he gets from the bones.

@swegbruh199 7 лет назад

@PYROTOAD 7 лет назад

That's awesome

@jkreyes12 7 лет назад

What you could do to make the mat you put on there sturdier is to like weave a thin rope on the whole ramp, just by wrapping it over and under between the 2 sides, before putting on the mat

@deebee8918 7 лет назад

This is really awesome. I just hope your carpet doesn't get ruined xD

1:40 "Those toes look yummy" my turtle used to nip at my fingers and that made me think of that comment

@arachnidfacts3427 7 лет назад

Probably should still have something for him to dull his claws on in there

@WillowChord 7 лет назад

Arachnid Facts I agree this is a good idea. my turtle's docking area is made of wood and i find that it keeps his claws nice while also allowing him easy climbing

@kevinguzman9642 6 лет назад

Your turtle is so calm :)

@BryceBroom 7 лет назад

Nice very clever.... won't that plastic sheet melt under the heat lamp ?

@polkuio 7 лет назад

Righteous Reptiles It's not plastic, at least as far as I know. Looks more rubbery than plastic.

@angelinapasillas355 6 лет назад

you can totally use astro turf and caulk it on top of the plastic material for him to have something to grip onto

@hannahhavell125 7 лет назад

Could you do a video on ball python feeding and what size mice/rats they need as they grow? I'm getting a ball python soon and I'm still a little unsure on what type of food I should purchase before getting one. Love your videos btw! They're really helpful.

do another reptile room tour

@ellentomologist4850 7 лет назад

This is both adorable and highly informative! Very neat, Alex. If you don't mind me asking, where is Franklin allowed to go in your house? I would never be able to do something quite like this just because I'd be afraid of the turtle (I don't have one) going somewhere I can't manage him.

@GoHerping 7 лет назад

+Ellentomologist Thanks! Just my bedroom so I can always see him if I'm in the room, and sometimes I block off an even smaller area if there's anything he shouldn't get to on the floor.

@ellentomologist4850 7 лет назад

Ah! Very nice. I'm definitely going to steal your general setup (kid pool etc) if I ever do get a turtle. It looks much nicer for the turtle then a lot of the aquarium set ups I've seen.

@xenon7342 6 лет назад

How old are you btw? So cool that you do something like that for your turtle

@qtbeanie 6 лет назад

His thicc thigh😂😂😂😂

@sundayf.298 7 лет назад

I heard that duckweed and water lettuce make great floating snacks for your turtle and I know that water lettuce is very hardy to care for. Just a suggestion though. Also have you ever thought about giving him a cuttlebone if he doesn't have one already? Those are good sources of calcium and can give him something to chew on. My stupid cousin practically abuses his turtle tippy (adult male lives in a 20L tank, doesn't have anything interesting in his tank and is constantly walk swimming!) and when I gave it a cuttlebone it ate it right up and even tried to eat the fake plants I bought him. That's obviously a telltale sign he doesn't take care of it right and then they get offended when I try to correct him. Ugh. Anyway, just a suggestion.

@polkuio 7 лет назад

How do you make your turtles so unafraid and tame? I have two baby sliders atm that I have been taking care of in a twenty gallon tank, and I am planning on getting a small pond set up when they get bigger. But neither of them are as calm as Franklin here. They always like to snap at me. What do I do to help them?

@filippahillerud2734 4 года назад

Hey! I have a question, what kind of tub are you using? I'm looking for something similar for my turtle, meaning pretty big but also safe enough to keep pretty much filled with water in your home. Would really appreciate a reply!

@YBEtheGod 6 лет назад

what instrumental did you use at 0:59?

@StickyFeets 7 лет назад

FYI if you ever want to make more pvc things in the future, get a pvc cutter, should be under $15 and will cut your pipes within seconds

@VanessaRodriguez-yo9wt 7 лет назад

Awesome setup for your turtle

@legogore911 7 лет назад

Franklin is *T H I C C* bih Lemme see that shelly

@evaz3654 6 лет назад

What kind of lights do you have for Franklin

@GoHerping 6 лет назад

100 watt ceramic and 10.0 UVB

@TaraAndFriends 4 года назад

Do turtle shells have nerves?

@ink1929 7 лет назад

How often do Franklin's scales shed? I rescued a turtle and he's shedding his shell scutes very frequently. There's no blood or shell rot, his shell isn't soft and he's still eating and acting normally.

@GoHerping 7 лет назад

Not often, at most he's only done so twice I think in the past year. I'm sure he did a lot more when he was younger (but I didn't have him then)

@christophernguyen1112 7 лет назад

Where is a good place to get a reptile?

@m.j.7703 7 лет назад

Great video! Saw you doing this on instagram and hoped to see a video on it. I wish I was allowed to get a turtle. They are neat!

@slowassmiata 5 лет назад

Hi, what model filter are you using ? I want to do the same kiddie pool set up for my 2 red ear slider and I don't know what filter to use, they are both 10 years old.

@willowwillow4991 7 лет назад

What type of turtle is he? Im looking into one.

@cnp5336 7 лет назад

Willow Willow he's a red eared slider

@thespecialbroccoli6969 7 лет назад

Willow Willow Red Eared sliders are not very good beginner turtles. I would personally recommend musk turtles, however turtles and tortoises in general are not very good beginner pets.

@willowwillow4991 7 лет назад

The Special Broccoli Okay thanks. I own some snakes already and done some research. Musk turtles are the ones that stay fairly small right?

@thespecialbroccoli6969 7 лет назад

Willow Willow yeah. Well small compared to other turtles. They also have easier care and are more forgiving. Just note that they get their name from a disgusting smell they emit when threatened so be carefull

@pussynigga7135 7 лет назад

Thiccccc

@in_haunt 7 лет назад

eh, turtles are kinda known to eat plants (in the aquatics world) something like pothos that will grow quickly would take the beating nicely, if it was growing from outside the enclosure

@GoHerping 7 лет назад

I thought pothos was poisonous when eaten, I might be wrong tho

@in_haunt 7 лет назад

never heard that. i'd refrain until certain XD

@angierobles6612 7 лет назад

I have an urgent question I recently got a ball python and ive started to handle it while i was handling it i put it on my bed to do something real quick in its enclosure when i looked back the snake was moving very quickly and then it fell of my bed and just suddenly stops i never knew why and then a thought it migh have been something i did then the next day when i placed it on my bed it did the same thing i am very concerned plzz answer asap

@GoHerping 7 лет назад

Hmm, I've noticed that snakes really don't like being able to hold onto anything, so if they're on a slippery surface, they sometimes freak out and move around because they're basically defenseless without a grip. Maybe it's related to that?

@angierobles6612 7 лет назад

GoHerping ok thank you alot awesome vid by the way
