Remodeling My Turtle Basking Area! 

Thank you for showing people how to properly care for their turtles. There are so many people that do not take the time to know what their pet wants and needs. You are a good soul. God bless you.

When Sheldon fell in I died 🤣😂 another great video I always look forward to them!

“Looking like a giraffe.” Lol When Sheldon fell into the water though. He just didn’t see it coming. Haha The basking area definitely looks nicer aesthetically and obviously Sheldon loves it way more, too. Nicely done!

9:34 is the best part of the video

Sheldon is a very friendly turtle. I have had my turtle a little bit over a year as well and if she is on her basking dock I can literally stretch my arms across the other side of the room and I hear her splashing in the water from running. I got up in the middle of the night to run to the rest room and she scared the hell out of me because she jumped in the water so hard.

Been thinking hard lately about buying a turtle for my kids and throughout my research, I came across your vids, very helpful with everything I need to know, looking forward to learning more!! Thanks a lot bro ✊🏿💯💯

Listening to you over the Bluetooth car speaker while my mum drags me to shops

Thanks for the content, helping me on my journey to my first turtle.

this is the perfect design for my tank. I recently got a turtle (Shortneck Murray River - Australian Turtle) then after 2 weeks decided she needed a few friends, so two more. They will LOVE this basking area when I finally have all the parts arrive from eBay. thank you!!!!

I followed your video to make this basking area and my red eared slider has never been happier. Awesome tutorial thank you 😊

I’ve never been more excited for anything in my life, I’m hella excited for this vid🔥🔥

That came out looking great! Keep it up man 👍

That grass makes the basking area look so dope bet Sheldon loves it great job

You really ought to market Sheldon's basking area, for real... It's genuinely the BEST basking area I've ever seen, ANYWHERE!... Home made, in the stores, or otherwise, it's simply THE BEST! Sheldon's a lucky little turtle!

Love the turtle vids! Keep em comin!

Your Vids are amazing as always , Keep up the good work..btw Sheldon looks cute tho 😅

Oh yeah!

Awesome thanks!

Did you cut away a small amount of the egg crate plastic frame for the LED light to slide into Sheldon's basking area? The basking area looks amazing, I am definitely going to do this for my turtle, Newt!

I LOVE it too great job LOVE and GOD BLESS You 🤗

You should get Sheldon a friend!

Love the videos Carson! I discovered you about a week ago and I've already watched all of your videos. I'm getting my turtle soon and you're helping me figure everything out. What type of black sand do you use for the substrate? That's what I want to use

Omg your vid are so cool you made me buy one my mom got so mad because my mom does not like turtles keep up the good work carson

nice set up . I may make my top a wire mesh like window screen . the led and lamp on top get too hot. burns or just about melts

Super awsome

I need to re do mine as well. Nice video🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

I'm so going to build one for my turtle franklin!!

Great vid...

You deserve more subs💪

I got my turtles the Thrive Basking Loft from Petsmart and it's been an entire week and they still don't go up there to bask. I lure them up there with turtle food and they go up there to eat, but they won't bask! They immediately leave as soon as they see me coming.

Still watchin this 😭 you at 41k already you going up

Good idea

You are the Best

Love the basking area!!! Super cool and looks even better than before ever think about making and selling one?? Think about it and lemme know 👍🏼 cuz I would love to purchase one since I don’t have the DIY gene 😂😂 love the videos keep em comin

Looks great, I'm going to do the same for my baby boy Bowser

Hi I love the video x I'm hoping to do mine the same x I notice the heat lamp marked the plastic - is it safe to use? I was going to use a mesh chicken wire but prefer your overall look x

Loved your video and your set up, much better than the one we did (we used a frame with 1/2" PVC which was totally unnecessary.) Re-doing it now to just use the egg crate stuff. I want to put my aquarium light under the basking platform instead of inside it, can I do it? If you don't know, it's ok. Loved the extra light it gave your aquarium. We have two red eared sliders both about 6-7 years old, both male. They love their 75 gallon tank and right now the set up is only half water and the platform is just above the water line but we are changing to fully filling the aquarium so they have more swimming space and therefore need the above water line basking station. These turtles might be more food motivated than my yellow lab, Cody!!

Thks got some ideas 👌

Good video. Where do you buy the materials to build the basket on top of the tank?

Really like your diy basking dock! Is eggcrate safe for heat from the bulb tho?

Great job carson the turtle tank is looking. Awesome. U gotta get him a female.

Thanks for your videos. Help me a lot!! Could you respond me what kind of fishes do you have with Sheldon? Ty

Hey - great video! Quick question, what size bulbs and dome are you using? I have the zoomed combo but I need the lamps pretty far away (about 14 inches) otherwise they get over 100°, whereas the area should be 90°. How far away is yours and what temp is the basking area? Thanks!

00:00 Carson:☺ Me:wow he seems happy this must be a great video for him to make. P.s. it was

Cool stuff. I just wanna know how you guys get the ramp to not be flimsy and go vertical when then climb on?

What do you think about a couple plexiglass windows? Would it be possible to zip tie windows to the egg crate?

What would be a good heat lamp for a fifty five gallon tank?

How do you use the heat lamp on the egg crate

Damn I didn't know it was cuffing season 😍

It looks so good! But I have a question,... does the special lights not melt the plastic? I bought an egg crate to make an area for my turtle but idk if my lamp will melt it or not

This is a great idea. I've been trying to find a way to make a basking area like this one that's outside of the tank but i own 2 cats and they like hanging out around the tank amd stuff. I wanna build something like this but the lid of my tank is metal so idk how to manage to make a platform like this one but also cover the remaining space so the cats won't try to get in the tank. (I'm not sure if I'm making sense, English is not my first language so sorry). Do you have any recommendations on how I can have or make a platform like this and to also keep it secure so no cats can get in in any sort of way? 😅

Do your lights burn/melt the egg crate?

I like when he says “you’ll see what I mean” because I’m an idiot and can’t follow instructions without visuals 🥺

Dope! Going to attempt making mine tomorrow 🤙🏾

What are those walls called for the upper enclosure of the basking area

Dude your turtle is so similar to my painted. Everytime she sees me! I try to catch her doing her own thing as well. The second she sees me or hears me she pops her head up like that like human is that you!?!?!?!??? Thank god I am starving human!

Where did the plastic grate come from?

Look the turtle Is Happy
