DIY Mini Indoor TURTLE POND! 

PLEASE READ IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING GETTING A TURTLE: Just wanted to say I no longer recommend using aquarium sand in turtle setups. The turtle can consume it and it can cause some serious problems. If you want to use sand, use very fine grain sand or play sand. But it's best to use rocks or pebbles that are large enough to where the turtle can't consume them.

Put the heater next to the pump and it'll distribute through out the tank.

Nice! I recommend large enough pebbles for the bottom because they can ingest the sand and they do. Just a tip. 😌

Great video I love how Sheldon sticks his legs out when he bask,mine does the same

Sheldon is so adorable Thank you for sharing this I love it

Thank you for the basking area above the aquarium idea, my Melvin loves it

My turtle does the same with his little back feet! 😂 he props them up when he’s basking!

Ahhh, so glad to see you and Sheldon reunited 👍🏻

Great video, love the set up. Great for small places. Awesome job.

I really enjoyed this video! A great project to set up with my children and their new turtle. A great space for them to observe and play with her! Thanks for the update about sand to pebbles/rocks!

Nice bro great idea and call on the heater and the rock around it.

Just made mine today! Thank you for the ideas :)

You inspired me, now I have to convince my wife to accept a new turtle...maybe two 🤣 Our big boy is already 12 years old ♥️

It thrills me... you taking him with you 🥰

You should add some small, fast moving fish! It would be interesting seeing them from above and would add a ton of personality to the water

I was also about to mention that when you first put the rock in it was slightly underwater and there needs to be none on it so his belly can fully dry but I realized how small he was on that rock hahah. You seem like a good turtle dad!! Good luck w your little one

Sheldon on the basking rock just chillin was adorable 😍😂

Great video! I'm going to set up a similar tank for my baby Razorback. Love your advice too.

So adorable!! I have two Ted ear sliders, I had used the sand, and it destroyed my filter, so be careful with that. Nice job👍❤

Love watching your video's. Always wise information and interesting content...plus ya know...turtles.

ah, i see that you are also an “illegal” pet owner on campus. i live in an apartment on my uni’s campus (finally was able to get out of the dormitories!) with 2 aquariums and my 2 cats. i couldn’t leave ‘em behind. i only have two more semesters until i graduate, soooo... i should be fine. lol

Been waiting for u to upload💪🏽 keep it up big bruh❤️

Just started yesterday watching and it brings love watching your vids

This was so cool, i've been thinking of getting a turtle and this vid helped alot

Thanks so much for posting this video. We inherited an adult red eared slider turtle and didn’t know where to begin on making her a safe new home. You’re video really helps. Oh and thanks for the follow up tip on the sand. Great job!!!

Love it! Great idea! I hope soon to see you got sheldon a friend!

Adorable 🥰💕

Wow that’s a nice little enclosure it came out really good

You are so cool, so kind. Your video is so informative. I am hearing mixed information about Sheldon.

i love how your turtle's just like pls leave me alone

Awesome setup 👍 Sheldon is very cute btw 😍💚🐢 I miss when my Turty was that small ( she's a Redeaerslider ) she's now almost 7 yrs old and is 7 inches long

This helped me a lot! Thank you!

Just bought everything I need to create this for two turtles. this video has definitely inspired me!

I’m about to go off to college and study marine bio and this is just what I needed Thankyou, I’m going to try this for myself and I’ll let you know how it works

Omg this is so cool my turtle Lennon is now jealous so I may have to make one too!

Awsome!!!!

Nice job man, I’ve done similar setups they work great.

I love the setup. The filter and heater need good water flow around them. So it's best not to block them with stones. You can purchase heater covers that prevent turtles from sitting directly on the heater. Or you can purchase a heater specifically made for turtles that comes with a plastic sort of cage around it. Also, the heater should be fully submerged. Once your turtle starts to grow he'll need a better filter. He's adorable and I'm glad you have him there with you.

Amazing idea

aaww what a cutie...😱😱 n your turtle's name is cute too...it fits him perfectly 😍😍 cool pond idea btw 👍👍👍

Love this guys videos

Thank you for this idea, I have a turtle and he's getting bigger, I havent been able to find a big enough tank that's not super expensive. This is cheap but looks good, thank you!!

So cute 😍

Amazing bro, i love turtles :D

Thanks for watching! I’m very happy to have Sheldon with me once again, & I’m excited to make more videos about him! Let me know what I should do to this pond! ⬇️⬇️

So darn cute you and Shelldon

I just recently got a turtle 🐢 and I absolutely love him I wanna buy everything for the little guy love the vid very relaxing 😎🙏🏽

A very amazing idea

Im getting a turtle soon and I think I’m going to make an indoor pond so thank you for the help

Very cool pond.👍

Yes they are cute and all when they are small but they get big you have to have the right set up wich is $$$.And they require alot of matinence its alot.But if you have the time and the right set up your good I love my beggy shes a yellow belly and such a sweet girl.Just wanted to put that out there before you get one than decide its too much to handle.Its not fair to the turtle or any pet for that matter.

I have a turtle which is living in a plastic container I want to get an aquarium but it was too expensive I decided to make my own one and this really did help

Little Sheldon is a cutie! I am thinking about getting a turtle for myself and my grandson and this looks doable for first turtle 🐢 I’m still doing my research. Need to figure out a good first turtle. Your videos have been helpful and inspiring 🐢🐢🐢

He’s so active it’s great! Healthy turtle!

That’s for the idea. I need to relocate my baby sliders to make room for the dwarf caiman and I’ve been stressing about putting them together and then separate them. This helped! That’s man! Hope Sheldon is doing great!

Very creative. I have something similar to my bettas pond.👍

Hell yea bro. I just got a what I believe is a cooter 🐢. Great idea. I have few videos of him

I really liked this one

Amazing dude , I really liked it, I have 4 turtles ,now it will be easy, thanks .

Very niceeee and pretty

Sick set up

Love the videos keep them coming

Thank you its very helpful 👍🏽👍🏽

Nice set up!

OMG he’s so *CUTE* (and not even a turtle person)

So good these vids mate 👍👍

Yellow Belly Sliders are cute especially sheldon. I always wanted a Yellow Belly slider

Done 👍🏻😊 and great video thanks

Aww that’s a cute baby

So good

He will out grow that pretty fast I have 2 yellow belly and a African side neck and a red ear slider

Amazing video! Great tips. Btw just wanted to ask you that which type of tub did you get? It looks big enough and I wanna buy it so can you please share a link from where I can buy it online? Thanks

Good work buddy

I really like your videos and think you are really good with your turtles.

its amazing

About adding fish/another turtle: 10/10 would not recommend as a long term plan. Any fish you put in are likely to get chased or eaten by Sheldon. Even if he never catches them, being trapped in an enclosure with a predator will cause stress and make them more likely to get sick. The only time I've heard of someone successfully cohabitating a turtle with fish was with African cichlids (apparently they're smart and fast enough to stay alive, they're also generally fairly stress hardy). Turtles are not social and get very territorial with age. If you get more turtles than you are committing to an extremely large enclosure to keep everyone happy. Depending on species/personalities of the turtles you may not be able to keep them together and have to seperate them for their safety. Even at a young age it's important to monitor basking usage and feeding times to make sure resources are being shared and one turtle isn't outcompeting the other.

Sheldon is gonna get huge!

I am going to adopt a some turtles soon!! I love turtles! 🐢

nice idea

Get a plastic heater guard, it can melt your pond and cause severe burns. I mean deadly burns, they get red hot. The heater guard is way safer... And always Rinse sand thoroughly.

Love from india to you friend really it's very helpful to me

Very interesting and awesome video

Thank you for the idea! Do you know if I can find a clear tank instead?

Nice 👍

thanks for sharing

Nice!

I just rescued two slider turtles. There tank is to small for them. This is a great idea. How hard is this set up to clean? And how often do you have to clean it?

I love turtle & tortoise

What's up great stuff

Sickkkkk bro

Good job

I love this! Where did you get the container from? And what size is it?

Your vids just keep getting better! Personally, I think Sheldon should get a friend! Definitely go with another turtle pun for the name

I have that same exact lamp and rack for my bearded dragon lmao

I do this with 110 gallon tubs now. I did start with this tub tho.🐢🐢🐢🐢👍👍👍

Put the heater by the filter the flow of the water will circulate the heat better dope setup

this makes me miss my turtles 🥺🥺

That's a neat setup man. Just a pity they don't stay that size init. They're so cute when they're that size. Cool video too

Good one buddy 👍

So cute!! I don’t trust my lil WhoDini without a lid ! Lol
