JETz$oFly omg me too

Ninja tutless

My turtle eats pizza

BRUH KEKSKAJJAGSUWGSHSI

LMFAO

Plastic Bag OH COOL how do you walk him? I’m considering it now xD

@Zander Mercury Just take him outside in the grass, make sure there are no dangerous objects around him, and keep an eye on him.

Plastic Bag oooh ok thanks!

what size tank do you have for him

@@liljaycub3538 A plastic tub basically, he likes it, but it's plain.

Why

yes me too. my female is huge and her tank is huge and I feed her crickets and worms and whatever I can find plus her dry food from the pet store. I love her. there are many people who are responsibel pet owners but they dont watch learning videos so think positively my friend.

cheryl adamson that must be me

I'm from the Philippines I have a huge slider roaming around inside my house 15 inches to be exact & weight around 3 kilos I never put her in the tank, I just let her roam around my house.

@@nolandoreyes2599 they need water to eat,poor thing

what about sand

randomrazr If it’s fine sand then Yeah, it has to be fine sand

uhm ive had gravel in my turtle tank since day 1 and i dont think its ever swallowed any,or is this why its so heavy? lol kidding

PATTY PERRY Just because she dosen’t show any symptoms that’s she’s been eating the gravel dosen’t mean that she dosen’t have it in her stomach. I would take that gravel out asap and get FINE sand if you can, and take her to a vet to make sure she dosen’t have it in her belly or anywhere else in her. She can and Will become impacted if you don’t take it out

@@Pattys1967 the gravel can get stuck and starve ur turtle

I got uh 55 gallon is that good for one slider I'm boutta get

me too :(

You mean tortoise?

no red ear slider

You mean it crawled away.

same 😭

hey do you happen to know exactly which brand or can you please send me the link of all the things you used , (uvb light, heater, filter,) thank you

🙂

@@ceriamcintosh7025 nice i like the Turtle ❤︎ ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

Jimmy Tube awe that sucks dude !

Jimmy Tube ask your mom to help you look on websites like kijiji, varagesale, letgo, etc to find a used one for cheap or even go to yard sales. you can get big ones even with a tank stand and decorations for the tank if you're lucky for really cheap

Jimmy Tube That is horrible of your mom to do :( Parents need to teach proper pet care. It always amazes me when parents get children pets with no knowledge of care needs. The turtle needs a huge tank, 100% dry basking area with UVB lighting and proper basking temperature for turtle species. Needs really good filtration and maybe a water heater, again depending on the species. You should have your mom read this and ask her to watch some turtle care videos.

Jimmy Tube Get a big plastic container

Dude at least give them a 10 gallon tank

That's awesome.

Same! I have a yellow bellied slider and also had a map turtle but the map died unfortunately. I got them when I was 9 and I had no clue, so it was mainly up to my parents. My dad couldn’t give a shit and my mum tried but didn’t want to spend on big tanks, proper filters etc so now 9 years later I’m taking care of my yellow the way he deserves. It’s so sad the amount of turtles and terrapins that are mistreated because parents and people in general aren’t educated on their care :(

I have noticed that if I don't feed my Turtle enough I have caught him eating the gravel...I w always worried about over feeding him because he ate so much and then I caught him eating gravel so I just make sure he is real well fed...

Turtles definitely will eat the gravel. No gravel or rocks small enough to be ingested should be used in the tank as the turtle can choke or clog their digestive tract with them and die. This is not uncommon and likely WILL happen if you keep gravel in your tank. Larger river rocks are fine as long as they are not smaller than the turtles head and are therefore impossible to swallow. Sand and "planted" tanks are 'typically' fine as the fine substrate will not cause blockages if ingested.

***** I have always had gravel in with my turtles and this guy is the only one I ever caught doing it...I feed him a mixture of crickets, mealworms, reptomin sticks and red-worms as a treat from time to time...I just started feeding him a little more at his feedings and it has stopped...

don't worry they don't I have one what turtul do you have

Katxo there fine they can tell the gravel from the food I have 6 turtles and I use gravel in all my tanks sands too much of a pain to clean

Great filters for sure. Output doesn't change based on position. Just needs to be fully submerged.

A turtle as a gift is probably the worst gift due to how much money you have to spend but if you really take care of it you will Love the turtle

I have a turtle. He is literally napping on my lap right now 😂😂

Awesome! Be sure to have them, and yourself, check out my newest turtle video! Good luck with your pets! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8t0fKmflsCUoYE.html

Earthling1984 thank you i will

Just don't buy a turtle then.

Amazing Huh get a hamster

Amazing Huh who *give* money?

Amazing Huh TRUUUUU

if you can walk get a job

Kairu Never take a wild born animal as a pet! Only captive bred! Please do release where you found.

I didnt physically take him myself, basically this guy told me he could get me a turtle. I thought he was a liar so i said yea, sure. He turns up two months later with a turtle at my door step. I didnt believe he would actually do it. So yea, I'm total shit. I dont know the specific pond but i'll drop him wherever turtles are found.

it is legal to take wild turtles that are native to your state as long as they are not threatened or endangered. you also need a fishing license but i don't like the government making me pay for nature so I don't get one.

Kairu That indangers turtles even if they are wild and u let them go

Release him back pls

Same, but they let me shake their hands and rub their heads since they trust me now.

Is turtle bite is so painful ??? Actually i wanna buy turtle so can u plz tell me

@@Tan-st5sp not really! theyre quite contempt and i believe he usually mistakes me for food. two years later and i still have him and dont regret it at all, if youre thinking about doing it and havr the right set up, go for it!! you wont regret it if you love turtles

@@misticle4485 ok thnks alot 💜💜💜

Brian's Pet's How long do they live?

Kaelyn Marie Years to decades

Or that too much protein will cause pyramiding...

@@kaelynmarie4566 Let’s just say they live for a long time.

@@kaelynmarie4566 pfft 40 years

Right,They are okay with just enough water to cover the shell.. And on more or less

They don't care about ph, gh or kh, just make sure that you're parameters aren't at the extreme and that your ammonia and nitrite are at 0

Wtf.... Then is my turtle carnivore? She doesnt eat veggies

@@DXM339 Usually they don't eat veggies till they are a little older. But that will be a huge part of the turtles diet daily.

@Rex Colubra Kale isn't good for turtles it blocks calcium absorption. So does spinach.

Depends on species. For Red Ear Sliders, for insance, you would want water temperature between 76F and 84F.

@@earthling1984 how much is that in celcius

@@hi-hk8os Search it on google because i don't know too😂

my dads friend doesn’t want her pet turtle anymore, so i’m getting him next saturday and i’m so excited!! good luck with your new turtle :)

Amazon, Penn plax turtle dock

Yeah, dock needs to stay 100% dry. I have videos on my turtle tanks and really like the Penn Plax dock I have. As for heater, it depends on what species and where they are kept. For example, my turtles at my home are in my 'pet room', which always stays around 75F. I keep my house around 70F, but, the pet room has many heatlights for my pets which raise the room temp. But yes, for most owners, a heater set around 75F is a good idea.

yw :)

I really love turtles

Whenever I see my turtle not eating and I'm giving up , I will watch your vids and I gain motivation and inspiration

+Devon DarkArc Same!

:) glad to be of help. Any questions feel free to ask in comments!

Bro u need the lamps

Have they died ?

They are not for heating they give the turtle vitamins that it needs to survive

Jeff Frank big ones, ponds and kiddie pools are cool looking

Jeff Frank I have done a lot of research on turtles and natural sunlight never works you need proper lighting and you can't use a cinderblock for a basking area has to be much bigger there basking area should most likely be made out of something like wood or sand something that's more comfortable for them because imagine if you had to lay on a freaking cinderblock what is wrong with you also a plastic kiddie pool works but saying to forget getting a tank is kind of stupid because the tank is better than a kiddie pool I'm sorry I'm just telling the truth

Chloe's All about so how do turtles live in the wild?

Alex Po A tank does look better, but an adult slider will need a several hundred gallon tank, and a pool that big is less expencive. Also a big turtle can crack the glass on a tank or scratch the acrylic on an acrylic tank. They do make large turtle tub enclosures that work great, but these are very expencive. Full sun if housed outdoors does work, just as if they were in the wild. Saying full sun does not work means all the wild turtles better go to the pet store and get better lighting. If you do not like a bare bottom tank, sand is a better choice than gravel for turtles. Cynder blocks do work. You can put several together to create a big basking area, and the turtle love to hide in the holes. The surface of the cynder blocks is not much different than the turtles basking on rocks in the wild. Sure you can create a dirt basking area, but then dirt will get into the water. You can also cover the Ccynder blocks with soft substate mats made for reptiles, however the roughness of the cynder blocks as the turtles climb onto them helps file their claws. For the most part I think your video is very informative and covers all the key points in keeping water turtles. I just know from years of experience how expensive keeping turtles can be and I just thought people may want a couple pointers on how to save some money when keeping water turtles.

Jeff Frank hey Jeff, Chloe's all about, said that lights are better than natural sunlight since she did a lot of research on it and tanks and lighting is better but with lamp lights are better, how do wild turtles live off of natural sunlight from the sun? That's what I asked

Mari :)

i am stupid writing this comment i just follow the guide and my turtle is doing just fine

@@aristotelisxatzinas5393 Good to hear :)

That's good that your turtle lived that long just be careful if feeding it to much food ok. I have a turtle myself.

Glad to help. Make sure the tank is setup at least 2 weeks before getting your turtle. The tank water needs to cycle. During this time, check that you have proper UVB and basking temperature. They need a 100% dry basking area. Use a thermometer and make sure everything is perfect. A single turtle (depending on species) is going to need at least a 75 gallon tank. So, you will need to decide what type of turtle you want, and get the proper tank size. Something like a painted turtle or musk turtle is fine in a 75gallon. Something like a red ear slider needs at least a 125 gallon. The tank setup will be expensive, probably around $400 or more once you get the tank, filter, heater, lighting, etc..

Looking at care videos now that my son has taken a liking to watching turtle videos. I think we're gonna stick with snakes lol

Awesome!!! Be sure to check out my newest turtle video before you get a turtle! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i8t0fKmflsCUoYE.html

how big is your pond also how big is your turtle And how to know your turtle gender is 1. Males have longer and skinnier tail 2. Males have a concaved bottom shell while females have a convex bottom shell 3. Male have longer nails Hope this help sorry i'm late

Michael Tyson you will feed it reptomini tetrafauna

Put live food in the tank they chase em keep them busy an happy

@@trellminaj3737 tried that, kept them busy for all of 10 minutes

Play ball with them

Take it for a walk

Wolftalon Productions look at their face smiling

I have one for mine too. I turn it into a pond with rocks around so it can climb out and be on the grass.

I have a room for my turtle ( don't ask )

+ArtsyAllAround Amazon, search 'Penn Plax Turtle Dock'

Earthling1984 Thank you

+Earthling1984 where do you buy your pets , reptiles and mammals

Many places, from pet stores to animal expos to online.

Thank and i love your videos your like a celebrity to me keep the good work up

Turtles that are basking turtles (like most pet turtles are) need a 100% dry basking are of proper temperature with UVB lighting. Is your basking are of proper temperature for your turtle species? Do you have UVB lighting? Is your tank a very large tank (40+ gallons)? Most pet turtles will need a 125 gallon or larger; however, even babies should have at least a 40 gallon, all properly setup. Filtration, water heater, basking area, basking light, uvb light, etc.. These animals have specific requirements which must be met for proper care. Sadly, turtles are some of the worst cared for pets. Most species of pet turtles should live 50+ years. Sadly, few make it past a year due to poor care. :(

genelegend I guess you failed to listen to and comprehend the video.

Cheryl Loke That's not good. Should take to a vet immediately if still alive.

Cheryl Loke is it still alive?

Atleast he felt like he was flying which is a turtles dream. He will always be remembered as a turtle that conquered heights & broke records. May he rest in peace

Cheryl Loke Is it alive please i need to know

Cheryl Loke So, it died I assume.

Just like in nature. No UVB or heat at night. Make sure you have a 100+ gallon tank for a RES.

Yes

Earthling1984 nice turtle its really cute

Probably a good choice.

Allyson Foster if you can afford spending $1-2k on your turtle then sure go for it. I’ve had mine for 4 years and i just upgraded their tank to a 50 gallon, I’ve spent way too much on them by now.
