Happy Tank Tuesday folks! Leave us some comments below with advice on raising turtles and what you would like to see added to the turtle tank.
BamaBass you can get a razor back musk because there small and cute
Stephen Name Your Turtle Saban Also Roll Tide I'm From South Alabama
BamaBass
Need an actual place it can come completely out of the water to bask and get an actual bulb that puts out heat. Turtles like to bask in the morning sun.
BamaBass it's a black knobbed map turtle
Small fish
I would highly recommend getting a captive bred turtle. Collecting from the wild is very risky because they can have parasites and have a rough time adjusting to captivity. The stress of being captured allows the parasites to bloom. Map turtles are very shy by nature and even captive bred map turtles take a long time to warm up to their owners. I believe the picture you showed was a Black Knobbed Map Turtle if I remember correctly. Also, make sure to have a basking platform that allows the turtle to completely dry out. Map turtles are very susceptible to shell rot if they are not allowed to bask correctly. There is a ton of great information on TH-cam for almost any turtles species you can think of.
@Sean Hammond, Depends. Has Your Turtle been showing any signs of having something wrong with it? Like going off feed or not moving much, throwing up etc.
Happy TURTLE Tuesday ^-^ Your tank looks pretty neat! A couple tips - First, the basking area is ideally completely out of the water so that the turtle's belly can get completely dry. Otherwise, you might find that the turtle's shell might get infected or get shell rot because it can't dry out. Maybe look into a floating basking dock or even an above tank basking area. :) The picture you shared is most definitely a map turtle, of the genus Graptemys...not completely sure of specific species though. Care for all maps is pretty similar - they tend to be a bit sensitive to water quality when kept in captivity, so make sure the water is staying clean. For plants, you can try anubias, hornwort, water lettuce, duckweed, anacharis, etc. However, a lot of turtles will try to eat or uproot them so don't get too attached to the idea of a perfectly aquascaped tank! Maps are great swimmers and like lots of space, so fill up the tank with as much water as possible. Also make sure that your basking lights are pointed directly above the basking area, especially the uvb light. The effectiveness of the uvb goes down with the distance between the bulb and the turtle. I would get a thermometer for the basking area and make sure it stays at a temperature about 10* f warmer than the water temp. This is usually in a range of 85-92*. And as a few others have said, 20 gallons is quite small to permentantly house a turtle, especially one that is as active as a map. At adult size, you're looking at anywhere from 5-9", meaning a 55 gallon tank or larger. Something like a musk turtle or mud turtle might be more suited to this setup, but even then I feel like a 40 breeder would be more appropriate for an adult. Hope this helps, and I'm super excited for when you get your new shell baby! 😄
Thanks for the tips!
BamaBass I would like to add that the map turtle you pictured is what's known as a bloched map turtle we sell some 4 or 5 inch ones at my store they ARE EXTREMELY RARE I'm talking I have never seen them go for under 350$ for a single baby their scientific name is Graptemys flavimaculata well you really showed 3 types of map turtles the first 2 pics are ringed maps saame case as the bloched really RARE and expensive scientific name Graptemys oculifera the the last one I don't know
Parker Gibbons there is 3 different maps shown the first one are ring maps the second one is a bloched map the third one may be a false map are a Mississippi map it's been a long time since we have had any in my store
i am getting a 30 breeder for a common musk and am planning to upgrade later
thats so cool!
Only thing better then Taco Tuesday is Tank Tuesday!!!
BassinOff TheBank1 way better!
What about turtle Tuesday
The turtle needs a completely dry space to bask or it will start growing mold inside its shell
Haiden Landry actually it’s ok some of the water will evavaporate
Ava Yeet skeet 😂 ur so dumb
Ava Yeet skeet yeah but what happens when it rains underwater stupid
Here are some tips that will help you I have raised turtles for over 8 years
1: have it on a high protein diet or else it will contract a bone disease and you will need to take special care of the turtle then. Feed him crickets and other things like that
2: always have the water deep so that he can get lots of exercise.
3: never ever have a crustacean in there because I have on multiple occasions had a turtle chock on the shell of a crayfish.
4: have some dry ground to go on cause I have had turtles try to use anything to lay on the rest.
Love your videos. Have fun with the turtle.
Also moby has grown a lot.
I just like to say Thank You for listening to your subscribers and finding a new solution. There are so many people who decide to add a new fish or animal into their aquarium and goes right ahead without searching the proper care. Another thing people love to do is create a aquarium/terrarium in order to fit as many different types of animals they can. Usually these community aquarium/terrariums don't work unless you have a large and elaborate design for your tank. So thank you, it is always nice to see that there are still people who respect animals and the hobbies. Especially since you are a youtuber, when youtubers say things many times naive followers may follow.
We have turtles in our pond and they like to sun on the dry land everyday. I think you should have a way for your new turtle can get completely out of the water.
Good Ol Boy #76 simple... lower the tanks water level; because i’m 110% with you on needing a flatter slope of rocks and some rocks that are completely out of the water so he doesn’t get water logger (;
Shellrot
Sarah is so perfect!! Congratulations again to your family ❤️
You're right, it was a map turtle that you were thinking of. Don't be surprised if the turtle shreds up the live plants. Frogbit or dwarf water lettuce sometimes will survive but usually they uproot most plants. You can use plants with strong root systems and then surround them with heavier rocks to prevent the turtle from rooting them up. As far as turtle goes, musk turtles would be the best turtle. Map turtles stay smaller than sliders but I think you would be happier with a musk because they stay smaller, they are native to the US, and they are typically less shy than map turtles. But, map turtles are really cool looking and don't get too incredibly big. The 20 gallon will probably eventually be too small but should last a while. Last piece of advice is that you should have the both the heat lamp and the UVB lamp over the basking area. The heat will be what draws them to bask and the UVB is what they need for their shell to grow properly.
This video showed up in my recommendations. I watch turtle and fish keeping vids but when your baby smiled I lost track of everything you said. What a cutie! God has blessed you my friend. Mine is a grownup now but I still remember those baby smiles and giggles. I have a red-eared slider that I’ve had for 27 years now but I figure you’ll get plenty of advice from your regulars on turtle keeping so I’ll just enjoy your work. Nice setup by the way.
Alabama 100
I love watching tank Tuesday keep it up you guys rock and I love your fish tank 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 happy
I suggest covering the Eco complete in fine sand to prevent the turtle from choking on it.
I have a 20 gallon that I used to keep my small pet bluegill in but I recently upgraded to a 40 gallon so he’d have more room to swim. Maybe I should bet a turtle for my old 20 gallon
Russell, over at Donovan's lakes, Snag lake is full of Turtles. They had a feeder on the lake to feed the Brim, but it drew in all the turtles like a dinner bell and 4 lb. line wasn't strong enough to get them on the dock to try to remove the hook, so the turtles ended up with a hook in it's mouth.
Love seein how I’m not the only one who thinks about everything my turtle needs. I might give up one day on trying to tame him (he’s still pretty small about 4inches) but I’ll always love looking at him and his pretty enclosure. I’m happy to know he won’t get lonely all he wants is a nice habit 😊
Eco earth same thing as what he uses is that ok
I got red eared sliders, yellow belly slide and eastern painted sliders, they all are amazing pets
Don’t know much about turtles, but this will be interesting!!
the map turtle will get too big for that tank though, so when bigger, you can put it in the big bass tank, as long as you have a basking spot they will live fine with a bunch of bass
Mississippi map Turtle,I looked at getting one myself.
I cant wait to see a lunkerhunt turtle video!
Holy crap he got turtles! I’m getting a pacman Frog soon! Lol I’m so excited!
Broncos 18 Broncos suck chiefs will destroy them
The Dragon Gamez fuck you get your negative self out of here and just saying we the broncos have keenum now so we will destroy any team!
With frogs. A variety of foods is good. I found out the hard way. Even tho it's possible for them to eat mice just so often tho.
The new tank looks great. I hope you’ll put the turtle tank on a table too. Your set ups always look so professional. Still just in awe with your big tank make over.
I have that same filter for my red clawed crab. 2 tips. 1 I put a bag of bio media in the middle of the filters. 2 make sure you clean the part before the filter pads. Lots of poop and debris will collect where you cannot see it.
It be awesome if you got a pet bull frog for the new tank
Highlight of my day *TANK TUESDAY*
Turtles need a place where they can completely get out of the water and bask under a heat lamp. It keeps their metabolisms high and their shells strong!
Beautiful tanks!
A treat i would recommend for the turtle would be crawdads. Throw one in the water they will come zooming over and eat it. A lot of times when you use crawdads as bait for fishing you will get a few turtles. 👍🏽
The turtles u were looking at were black knob maps and Mississippi Maps but there's certain types black knobs like Northern, Eastern's stuff like that
There are many types of turtles that have knobs on their shell I think the one your referring to is a Mississippi map turtle, if you get one of these they get up to 14 inches in shell diameter and you will have to upgrade your tank, I would recommend a musk or stink pot because they still pretty small and top out at 6 inches.
7:42 I've been so relentless looking for that turtle. Everyone said "northern and southern black knob" but non of them have the yellow spots and thats the one i want lol. So finally i found out the name. Its a yellow blotched sawback. Someone in youtube said u can only get em in florida tho.
Awww love her smile so cute😂😊
where do you get your backgrounds for the tank
With your accent I thought you’d say yall so it felt weird when you said you all lol
I have a pet turtle and I have the heat and other lamp next together cause they use both lights for there shell growth and add add much water as you can so it can swim more also that is a map turtle
Moby as grown so much!!! :D
Which nonveg fish is best to keep in aqueram please make a video for me please
Hey Bama,
That’s a black knob map turtle. The males (long claws) stay fairly small (4-5 inch shell length) but they really prefer deep water. If you’d like to raise one in that tank the way it’s currently set up you’d be best to remove that high side of the substrate completely. As much swimming room as possible is key.
As far as plants, almost all with be eaten, but duckweed is great and you may be able to try some Anubias sp. - turtles tend to dislike it and won’t eat it.
If you want to house something permanently in that tank definitely keep your eye out along the shore line for mud turtles or musk turtles. Really cool little guys who don’t need deep water and don’t need nearly as much basking space.
So question if you've had that tank for years, and I've got one for my bluegill bait fish, Q: How do you keep the tank clean like that?
you should get a above tank basking area so they can have the full tank to swim and you can put fish in it to.
You need to get a heat light bulb and keep the UVB also I would recommend a heater for a hatchling because they need heat to digest their food
My grandma owns a lake and i found a baby turtle but they didn’t let me keep it because I don’t know much about them at that time but now that I know more I’m going out there tomorrow to catch them
You need a basking area where it is completely dry and most the heat and uvb rays should be concentrated to that area. You’re also missing a heater. Live plants are great for turtle tanks as they help with nitrates, waste, algae, and they just look good. Good low maintenance plants that aren’t harmful to turtles are water weed, Java fern, hornwort (can get messy), and Amazon sword. Doesn’t hurt to get cuttlebone for your turtle as they need lots of calcium for bone and proper shell growth. Also get a bottle of Povidone-iodine. Good to have this stuff on hand. This will fix most skin or shell related problems. It’s magic in a bottle. Just as good for humans too. Hope this helps.
what would be a good bait to catch small mouth bass at night ?
Aww the baby is so cute 😍
Let's have some more of the big guys eating. Never gets old watching them inhale their food.
Cant wait to see what Turtel you get 🐢🐢
If I were to get a 20g long tank how long could a 3-4 inch bass live in it
I have that same turtle, it’s an black knobbed map turtle. I don’t know though if its a northern or southern type
Is the snail still in the 300 gallon ?🐌
Map turtles are the coolest def get one. Always wanted one when i was growing up.
Cute baby-you’re very lucky parents 💕
How do you know the difference between male and female bass?
It looks pretty good
We have the same exact tank setup for our turtle. EXACT SETUP. How strange!
Would you recomend putting a catfish in a bass and bluegill aquarium
Great video Stephen! And what a sweet looking tank! But you just KNOW the turtle is going to have to be named after one of the Ninja Turtles... I vote for Leo. It's that or Yertle. lol
You could put almost any turtles in this tank but I would go with a bigger tank eventually. Maybe another 55 for a map turtle
The Bandinator what size is his current tank
For his turtle
I had two snapping turtles from when that hatched till they were five I released them into my pond and I never have them turtle food even right out of the egg I fed them minows and they were always able to take the out even when they were the size of a quarter just a tip you can try
My friend introduced a painted turtle to his large mouth bass tank once. He woke up to find his bass dead, and the tank filled with blood. I guess the bass swallowed the turtle, but it ate it's way out? Or at least clawed until the bass spat it up. Wasn't even a bigger one. So, I wouldn't worry about the turtle. Long as isn't a baby and their nails have came in. I'm sure once the bass figure out it has a shell and claws, they'll steer clear of it. At the end of the day, he kept the turtle. They make great pets and beg a lot like dogs, just lots of upkeep.
Turtles make water dirty fast I need a few pointers I can’t find anything useful in the googles. Do I need a fully submersible filter and pump? Or just a bigger filter? I know I need another filter I have the old 30g filter on the 53 gallon for now.
Always great content
If I got a 40 gallon breeder how long could a 5-7 inch bass live in it
how many gallons is your turtle's fish tank?
Do u recommend a rectangular tank for turtles or a bow tank?? I don’t know which one to buy which one my turtle would like better
Subscribed the second I saw how good your planted tank looked
I have a small bass that I caught and I was wandering if ANYONE had ANY name suggestions
Hey this is very important, I just got a pet turtle a few months ago and I did a lot of research and they said that the best turtle to get is a yellow bellied slider. This is because their not aggressive unlike other turtles, therefore it won't bite you. And in your tank, you have you basking spot in the water. You can't do that because you have to have the basking spot completely dry or else the turtle will grow algae and fungus on its shell and face and it can get very sick.
Three striped mud turtles, or any type of mud or musk turtles, they stay small around 3 to 6 inches depending on male or female, if you get anything else it will outgrow the tank quick, also you want the heat and uvb bulbs on the same side of the tank for when they are basking
I understand your point in saying you want to have everything in your tanks from the ‘wild’ but I don’t advise of that, especially with a lesser common species in turtles. I just hope if you do decide to take one, you’re committed to the life long care that a turtle needs. In captivity they can live upwards of 15+ years, even longer depending on the species. Once you take it out of the wild, and have it accustomed to captivity life, and you decide this isn’t for you, inevitably it will die back in the wild. I trust your judgment and hope you consider that when choosing an animal. I’d go captive breed if I were you.
Not only that but depending on the state restrictions you aren't even allowed to have certain species of turtles without the proper permits. There are many species of turtles that have been declining in large numbers in the wild.
SwiftlyDetermined and with wildcaught pets of any kind they’re notorious for just dying spontaneously because they’re unable to adapt to captivity or the parasites that they inevitably carry kill them etc etc
A reg red ear slider is easy to take care of I have a seven year old one and a younger one
Hey BamaBass! I'm so excited about the new addition to tank tuesday, I would like to recommend that you switch out the gravel to larger rocks. I have map turtles and they try to eat the pebbles we have in there and these pebbles are about the size of their head! Consumption of substrate could lead to compaction resulting in some serious medical issues. Otherwise The Turtle Girl summed up everything else I was going to say!
How many gallons is the middle tank?
What kind of minnows are these and Moby is getting big
Awesome video and I think my favorite part was your baby girl. She is just too cute and so vocal
Add the basking area from the kit or add a bigger log
Make sure u put minnows in with it so it has something to do will your gone and if u forget to feed it but i don't think i will forget
How big of a tank do I need for a bluegill
The turtle from the pictures is a Mississippi map turtle and I’ve heard turtles like to eat duckweed
its not, but it is a map turtle, but its a black knob turtle
Hey Bamabass could a bass work ok with a young red eared slider turtle, I've owned a bass before and I currently have a red eared, and I'm getting a 90 gallon tank for him for an upgrade but I need something else for a tank that size, would a bass work or should I get more small turtles or a bream or sunfish
Beautiful
Nice little birthday present for me
You have really nice tanks. Just to let you know the basking area should be completely dry so the turtle can dry all the way off. And both the uvb and heat bulb need to be close together so they can provide the correct amount of heat and uvb. You also said you want live plannts in the tank. Keep in mind that turtles can chew up plants.
I have a baby read eared slider and if you need tips on turtles I can help you
Hornwort, money wort, dwarf hairgrass, frog bit, Elodia (waterweed), and duckweed are all plants safe for turtles.
We just purchased an electric blue crayfish. His tank was so nice and had live plants. He started clipping the stems and eating/pulling the leaves off of all the plants.
So I twist tied each little bunch of plant and shoved them deep into the stratum. I woke up this moring with plant pieces floating and the twist ties on the floor of the tank.... Watching him in his tank at night reminds me of the swedish cheh from the muppet show. He just pulls everything up and lets it float to the top. I still really dig him but man oh man he is kind of like a monkey with a gun.😂😂😂😂😂
Btw i am not a fisher girl but i love your channel. We are having a crawfish boil up north here in Wisconsin cuz we watched your vid. Thanks!!!
Turtles will eat a diverse range of foods in the wild so the turtle you end up catching may eat the same minnows Bonnie, Clyde, and Sheriff eat. I had red eared sliders growing up and they ate anything from turtle pellets, insects, earthworms, small fish, and they loved lettuce so they might eat your plants.
Your baby is ADORABLE!!
Great information plus your baby girl is adorable😊
You need more water in the tank and he needs a dry area to lay out(about two shell lengths of water is right)
Love your videos just a heads up you need a 100% dry spot to bask to keep from fungal infections
I have a turtle, I love him. He is a yellow belly slider and super aggressive.
The heat has to be over the basking area. Yes that was a razor back map turtle I believe.
Make sure he can get fully out of the water on the basking area and that the heat and uvb r above his basking area. I'd get a mud turtle or something that stays small unless u can eventually upgrade to a bigger tank. The rule with turtles is 10g per inch of shell.
i put some minnows in my tank to breed, and all i find an hour later is a minnow head. I'm pretty sure it was my red tailed shark, im going to try to film him eating once i catch more minnows.
those three subscribers have some cool tanks
Also you need larger rocks your turtle can injest them and cause some serious damage. Your best option for substrate is sand or bare bottom
