@@Unrepeatable_editz They are very interesting animals

@@sam.lolzvr They are hardy animals

@@AidenJacobs-wt9cq Loggerhead acres turtle farm

@@crunchinfo Thanks Rusty. It’s starting to mature a bit with a growth of alge along the sides. The fish in there eat that as well as the snails. It’s becoming a little ecosystem

@@sire_sirol What’s wrong with your turtle?

Not with my turtle with my situation ​@@Alligator.commonsnappers

@@Alligator.commonsnappers where can I talk? To you privately

@@markdecker2724 I answered these for you in the other video you posted your questions on. But the filter name is in the description of this video and the waterfall pump is the pond boss 2,300gph pond pump.

@@markdecker2724 Thanks. The aqua garden in pond 600 5 in 1 is the pump for the fountain and that’s also the filter and has the uv sterilizer built all into it. Super easy. The pump dedicated to the waterfall is a pond boss 2,300gph pump. It is almost too powerful for my set up. I’d say 1,600 gph would be ideal. But I found it for a great deal and is working well.

@@TheJoker1200 it’s an easy filter to service.

@@Alligator.commonsnappers Nice and Convenient.

@@TheJoker1200 oh very. Plus it has the uv sterilizer and fountain

@@TheJoker1200 Thanks! They get some days in there but have to share it with the other turtles. Not at the same time of course.

@@Alligator.commonsnappers True true, a lot of people don't know that you can't have Common or Alligator Snappers in the same aquarium with other species.

@@TheJoker1200 Thank you. Lots of work

@@TheJoker1200 thanks!

@@TheJoker1200 I hope that doesn’t happen

@@Alligator.commonsnappers Knock on wood. I resealed 4 of my tanks cause they were about 10 years old and 2 of them were out in the sun without water. If you need to reseal them you can use ASI Black Aquarium Sealant. I found out about it from SerpaDesign's TH-cam channel, he makes really cool Aquascapes.

@@TheJoker1200 so little when this video was taken. A lot bigger now

@@Alligator.commonsnappers Yeah, I gotta catch up with your videos lolz. I'll finish them soon.

Thank you

Thank you. It’s still a work in progress

They are so young still. It will take years to typically be able to tell. But glad you found the channel

why is there such a size difference?

@@fishmonger6879 It absolutely could be a male and female that’s what I feel but too young to tell. The bigger one has a bigger appetite no surprise.

Thank you. Well there will be a snapping turtle in here so we will be adding some game fish. A few bigger ones so they stick around

Jus a suggestion it wouldn't be a bad idea to secure and hide the plug wires from the pump jus Incase the turtle or turtles don't mistake the wire for a worm or something and try to bite into it then everything alive in there will more than likely be shocked and killed

@@timothyhamilton2753 yes I plan to put wire insulation over them. Thanks for the suggestion

@@timothyhamilton2753 I plan to add wire looms over the cords. Thanks for the suggestion

Thank you! Yes I’ve always read that as well. As for frogbit, I’ve been meaning to get more I had some and they ate it.

Putting live plants in has helped more than the moss did

@@Alligator.commonsnappers Good idea, I'll try that. At the moment I do a 50/50 RO/tap water mix to get my kH down and then use moss to actually lower the pH. Plants would use kH as fertilizer so maybe then I wouldn't have to bother with RO. May I ask what kind of plants you used?

@@genericuser4266 Pothos. They love nitrates and turtle tanks have plenty to give.

@@Alligator.commonsnappers Thanks, I'll get some planted. I really appreciate it.

Thank you! Lots of turtle videos!

When they outgrow this tank I may do a larger 180 gallon but because that tank is so heavy, we will probably go to a large stock tank

Thank you. Yeah they love to dig down in the soft pool filter sand.

Thank you very much

Yikes. Hope not. So far never any aggression between them.

@@Alligator.commonsnappers ya hope they stay that way

I read off the weights in the video

Haha true

Probably herpetologist

They are busy guys there. I eventually did talk to John. He’s a nice guy and answered the questions I did have mainly about the shipping process. I had never ordered live animals online so I was a hair apprehensive about it. It went well though. Plenty of people probably just order though and never speak to anyone.

Thanks! I'm in the same boat, never shipped anything alive before, want to make sure all goes well.

@@ZombifiedWatermelon Do the fedex overnight to the hub. That’s what John recommended to me. I was at the door of the local fedex hub when they opened and they had Koopa and Yoshi ready to go. They wondered what was in the box and I said turtles and they said oh wow.

I also had trouble getting in contact, but if you call John's phone number provided on the website, he gets ahold of you pretty fast.

Very well said.

Hi, these tanks are appropriately sized for how small these turtles are. The bigger one is in a big aquarium 6x2x2 feet. The other two tanks are pretty big too at 4 feet long by 18 deep. Alligator snapping turtles don’t move around much either.

Very beutiful set ups! Nice work.

@@crunchinfo Thanks Rusty

@Alligator.commonsnappers that's awesome thank you for the info, they look awesome man keep up the work :).

@@hypnoticnut953 Thanks

Thank you, much appreciated

Thank you very much.

Thank you! Appreciate it

Thank you

@@Alligator.commonsnappers All good

Holy cow. That’s now going to be on my mind! How big was he when that happened? Mine so far has not been a big digger. Any videos of him?

It’s done. See my last video posted. Now just waiting to set up the aquarium on it

Yeah I tried a more fresh green peat moss and it made no difference. I still have it so I may add some to a bag and put in the canister filter and see

Yeah it adds a bit more to the hobby for me.

Thank you. They did come out in the beginning on rare occasion. Now they never do. But I do have two big fake wood root style logs and both of those logs come out of the water. I provide the uvb lighting and full spectrum light and they do both come way up on the log and hidden by the greenery and keep their heads out of the water on occasion.

Oh absolutely. Tiny compared to an adult but sure is growing steadily. Far outpacing his/her brother/sister.

Was going to be LVP but being a basement, carpet will be so much softer on the concrete and warmer not to mention deaden the echoes. Also it’s going to be a home theater room and carpet is best for sound quality. I’m very careful not to spill. Usually a few drops here and there but I’ll be using a hose directly from tank to sink so it should work well

Are there any studies that you can link me showing that information? I’ve been feeding minnows to turtles for over 35 years with no issues

Absolutely

Lots of similar little videos on my channel some are more stealth
