I Made a Botanical Refuge Habitat for my Tiny Turtle

A few years ago, my friend @GregsTurtleHaven, gave our mutual friend Charlie, a hatchling Loggerhead Musk Turtle. He raised it up and enjoyed it. However, he thought that it would get more love/attention under my care. We talked several months ago about it, but I haven't had time to make room for it until now. This is the story about how I got my my new tiny turtle!

I’ve been planning to adopt this Loggerhead Musk Turtle since March, but I haven’t had the time to do so until recently. I’m really excited to share it with you, though, because this is a really interesting species! Even just from the short amount of time, he’s been with me, I can already tell he’s a great addition to the lineup. That said, he needs a name! What do you think we should name him? Let me know, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

You should name him Muddy

@shelly6919 11 ай бұрын

Don’t know why but when you showed him first time. I was like he looks like a Kenny. Looked up name meaning it’s mean Handsome. Yep he is.

@chanterelle483 11 ай бұрын

I'd name it Gingerbread/Ginger, since its shell looks a bit like it and you already have Cookie. Yes, I like sweets, why do you ask? lol

@purplethunda8863 11 ай бұрын

If you've got Cookie, who will get very large, then it only seems fitting that the other turtle, who will stay very small, be named Crumb

His head popping out of the leaves was adorable. Its amazing how much the tannins in the water enhance the look of the setup.

@wilmawyatt2263 11 ай бұрын

It looks amazing! I love the botanicals for hiding and snuffling. ... Though foraging is probably a better term for the underwater bit. I'd probably name him Kenny - as in Kenny Loggins.

I love the effort you put into making an interactive habitat for your new turtle even though it’s a temporary home for him. They are such active creatures so I look forward to seeing the next iteration you create for this little guy. If you don’t pick Roosevelt as his name you could always name him after his breeder.

I thought it was really cool that he was shipped to you so here are some name suggestions that go with that: Stig, kinda silly but it is a Norse name that means wanderer or... Hugh, German for bright in mind and spirit. love the setup!

I think Sparky would be a cute name because his spotting looks like a dalmatian and he kind of moves around the tank like a puppy.

@daniellee8935 11 ай бұрын

Love the hardscape layout with cork bark, minimal planting, and botanicals. It looks very natural. I know the main star of the video is the musk turtle, but I wanted to offer a suggestion for a new animal that you could house in the future: a budgett's frog.

So many good names! I think I like Crumb or Roosevelt, the best. As always, your build is spectacular and your instruction superb. I could watch your videos, 24 x 7.

As a snake keeper I'm always working on making the enclosures best for the animal never taking into consideration how it looks to me. Fascinating to be able to do both!

@lionessoftor4139 11 ай бұрын

Simply gorgeous. I love this! It's like a little slice of nature. I would love to have something similar one day. Congrats on the new turtle. He's beautiful. For a name if his head does get big you could name him Megamind. It was a great movie. Also for some reason I think calling him Moose would fit. That's just the vibe I got from him.

Absolutely beautiful naturalistic habitat Tanner. The Musk Turtle looks so healthy and gorgeous! I can think of 3 very fitting names for this little fella: Ivory, Speck(les) or since Cookie is going get quite big, it makes sense to name the little one Crumbles ^_^ I can not wait until you add fish to his Aquarium ( I keep Danios and Endler guppies with my Musk turtle with no problems) ;) Love your channel and always look forward to updates!
