REACTING TO YOUR TURTLE TANK SETUPS (ep. 2) 

Can you please share me of your Busking box purchase link?

I need a busking area like what you have...

I'm from India. I love your videos.. Love from my side. Stay healthy.

Aw, that's what I love to hear! It's never too late to try to improve, and I'm happy that you've drawn inspiration from this series.

@@TheTurtleGirl Update: Had to bring him in since it's getting too hot outside... he ADORES the tank topper, climbing and sliding like a hyper kid at a playground, then napping on the little swim legde before going again. He massacred the plants the first day-- apparently he had a complete blast ripping them into itty bitty bits that clog the filter. 😅 The plants came with snails that he really enjoyed hunting, too, so... he has definitely gotten a lot of enrichment!

I feel ya. I've been daydreaming a long time about moving mine outside (no clue how old she was when I got her 13 or 14 years ago), but after deciding to just upgrade her habitat indoors - fears of hawks and my new dog is a hyper turd - I have learned that her current habitat was probably insufficient when I upgraded her to that all those years ago. I'm also doing a make-do upgrade this weekend including one of those tank-toppers so I can fill the water all the way up and brand new bulbs - I didn't know they lose their UV rays! But it's just additional motivation to get off my behind and finish my remodel so I can get new furniture and a giant tank moved in.

I cant seem to get a tank topper delivered to me in Ireland. And l rescued a yellow belly adult 8 years old about 10" on shell so like that tiny tank and no heat lamp... have them sorted now just the basking place 😀

that's the plan! :D

I love this series too!! Where do you submit a picture of your tank? :)

Hi,Can I send in my take on 10/29/22

Aw, thank you. Appreciate the support!

really appreciate it, thank you so much!

😂😂😂 fr tho

That's amazing!!! I'd love to see your pet room and the mural, definitely submit it if/when I open it up again!

🎈

I'm so glad to hear that Erlyn!

I'm always worried that I'll come across as too critical, so glad you enjoyed!

@@TheTurtleGirl How can we send you our tank set up for future reviews?

Aw, how sweet...that sounds like an amazing plan for when he gets bigger and adjusts. Thanks for sharing!

Im gonna put my little guy in a 20 gallon long

Aw, how fun!

Glad to hear it, Stephanie!

Thank you for being a good sport. I wish you luck!!

I'm so glad to hear that! happy holidays!

thanks Kassy!

Glad you're enjoying!

@@TheTurtleGirl always!

haha awesome! thanks Kenny!

travel safe, especially in these times! 😊all the best!

I'm still working through a lot of tanks that got sent in initially, but if/when I open up submissions again, I'll announce it here.

glad I could help!

@@TheTurtleGirl also what decorations do u recommend because i cant find sticks

Appreciate it!

thanks Luke!

What u actully responded

Best day ever

Wonderful! Driftwood can definitely be tricky. Oftentimes boiling and a good long soak can get it waterlogged. :)

thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Not because I can't afford it though

Thank you so much for sharing your tank with us!

If you move it above the uvb probably wouldn’t be as beneficial to your turtle since it’s will be illuminating the tank. Personally I have a uvb over my tank and one over my basking area so that the tank gets illuminated and he gets uvb while he’s basking and swimming.

thanks for the suggestion!

i’m having this exact same problem :/ my turtle is basking more now but he doesn’t swim at all :(

welll i know something that will solve that problem

Gina Kranker ?

if you have a common musk/mud they dont swim or bask much as other turtles

Haha I have misspelled words 😅 I mean to say cooling* not cooking. But with that being said being in Hawaii it is a hard task to keep my axolotl tank cool. I’m working on installing an AC unit in the room they are kept in along with possibly getting a chiller 😭 💰 unfortunately the fan blowing on the top of the aquarium is not working and putting water bottles in the tank only works for an hour or two before I need to switch them out. 😕 the struggle is REAL but I am dedicated to providing all my aquatics the best quality of life I can give them 😊

I'm so glad these videos can help you. Definitely glad you realized through research that you need uvb if your turtle is inside. And keeping axo's tank cool is definitely a challenge lol I wish you the best of luck! Thanks for doing all you do for your pets!

I've got a snake!

thank you!

🎈

Awesome!! Good luck to you!

You'd have to do some research. I'm not really sure. I bought mine from someone who had a big colony, you can also buy them online or at expos to get started. They'll eat anything, I like to feed fresh fruits and vegetables.

Ok and thanks for replying. I appreciate it. Also, I didn’t know if you already knew this but for Kuzon instead of using a heat mat you could use the Deep Heat Projector by Arcadia which provides heat just like a heat mat would but in addition to heating up the bottom of the tank it heats the air in the area where you put it and would provide Kuzon with IRA and IRB which are infrared rays that are absorbed deep into their bodies that keeps them healthier and makes them more active which is good if you don’t want your gecko in its hide all the time. You should check it out when I get my gecko I’m going to get it for those reasons. (Like the heat mat you will have to get a dimming thermostat so that it won’t cook your gecko but I’m sure you have one already). Another thing I suggest is getting a bulb that provides UVB and UVA. Just like the Deep Heat Projector this also helps make sure Kuzon healthy and should increase his activeness. (One really good bulb is the ShadeDweller, or it’s other versions, that is also made by Arcadia that was specifically designed for Crepuscular animals). Sorry for the long paragraph and run on sentences I just wanted to share with you these things because I saw some videos on them on Leopards Gecko’s channel and thought they would be helpful for you. By the way I love your setup for Kuzon it looks really nice and he looks like he enjoys it. Thanks again for replying. 😁

That’s fine but in the future you need to get a heat and uvb lamp. What type of turtle do you have?

thanks Elizabeth! Really appreciate that!

I’ve heard turtles can start to eat fish at whatever age. I’m not sure 100% though. Safe fish feeders for res are swordtails, endlers, mollies, platies, guppies, and mosquito. Unsafe feeder fish include goldfish, rosy red minnows, white suckers, emerald shiner, and spottail fish. These fish all contain thiaminase which inactivates thiamin (vitamin b1) which can cause deficiencies and or death in turtles.

@@lulugarcia3123 thank you so much😊

Good luck! They're a lot of work, but also lots of fun ;)

I appreciate it!

It's a common one sold here in the US. You could also make one yourself, as you mentioned. I'll also have a tutorial to a DIY basking area ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZjY3DqvNJvc.html that you can check out :)

Dalia Torres I know I’m not the Turtle Girl, but absolutely! Just watch to make sure there are no problems swimming or your filter flow is too strong. Your turtle will most likely appreciate the space. You sound like a great turtle owner!

It will be okay as long as you provide it with a lot of decorations in the middle and close to the surface of the tank so it can rest from swimming. And also turtles like to sleep near the surface so they can just pop out their head out of the water and breath when they need to. So decorations by the surface are crucial for a baby. I had mine in deep water too but I bought a pack of turtle vines at the pet store and it perfectly provides it a big area full of vines by the surface where it can just chill without swimming, explore around and most importantly, sleep in. I highly recommend you find those

Great advice above for sure :) adjust gradually and it should work out great!

You should have a basking bulb but also a heat bulb

@@Uneatable Thank you lol
