Thank you for reacting to my tank!! The last one, unfortunately I had to say goodbye to shelly because I'm going to Uni outside my home country. She is now with a new owner in a pond with access to a garden and sunlight.

Aw, well thank you for sharing it with us Miguel! Shelly had a lovely setup.
@@TheTurtleGirl Thank you, keep making these awesome videos!
The Turtle Girl how do u stand a picture of ur tank?
Can i ask? this is my 2nd day taking care a turtle,
should I let the basking light on 24 hours or should I turn it off and on every 12 hour? thank you
Verry Vernando so this is also my 2nd day as well you leave the light on all day and turn it off at night when they sleep but some turtles are nocturnle but u should leave the light on for about 10-12 hours a day
We need merch that says “more decoration”!! I am a fellow turtle owner here 👋 we have a Murray Short-neck named Blue.
Love your videos, keep it up 🥰
I,m a turtle owner too of two baby yellow belly slider turtles 🐢🐢
And your right
I live in Australia and I am thinking about getting one. What sized tank do I need?
That’s really interesting. Fish and turtle keeping in Germany is quite different. Here you don’t see fake plants in general. It’s more about rebuilding their habitat and have a real ecosystem with plants, sand and so on. It seems in the US people like to keep the tanks “clean”and kinda empty. (Just Noticing)
Interesting observation Thomas! Standards definitely vary from country to country!
It was so exciting to see mine, I feel like a celebrity noticed me! I’ve gotten so much great info from your videos and love you’re enthusiasm and positive kind nature. 💚 I have been slowly upgrading my tank and so far have added a few pieces of driftwood and more rocks. I really want plants, but my turtle was eating the fake ones and I don’t know the first thing about live ones. Maybe one day you could do an in depth video on live plants with which ones are best and how to care for them. Anyway, I really appreciate you and your content.🙏🏼

Great Video Like Always! 🐢
Thanks Edith!
Omg!! You liked and commented my comment thank you sooo much! Keep up the amazing work!!
i love these kind of videos :D very relaxing and inspiring to see other people's enclosures
Ooh! You're here too!
13:22 the basking area is the filter
yup!
One day I was biking and found a baby turtle on the road and then noticed 2 more and I rescued them before they crossed. I arrived too late to rescue other turtles and about 6 baby's got ran over 😞
So you saved 3?
Wow 😳
That's horrible
😳😢
Thank you so so much for making these types of videos I got a baby red eared slider named taquito🐢😂 and you've helped me soo much and he's so happy swimming in his tank💕
I love the reacting to turtle tank videos! keep them coming!!
The stair step basking area is the filter in the southern painted turtle tank.
Your vids inspire me so much that I got my own turtle and he is a panted turtle
I am the proud owner of a red eared slider 🐢💗... I got my sweet Leonardo a week ago and so far so good! 🥺 he’s eating, basking and active 🙌🏽 your videos and all the tips and info you’ve shared have been such great help and have put me at ease ( I worry my baby will die🥺🥺) again thank you! keep up the great content 🥰
aw Jackie! I'm so happy to hear that. Hope you and Leonardo are doing well!
I’m so glad I found your channel!!! I just bought two turtles- a pink belly side neck and eastern painted turtle 😁
Amazing videos I’m watching I was waiting for this video for months I hope My tank is in the videos 😀
I’m not in the video 😭😢
Yes I just got two Peacock Sliders they are doing great they ate and basked the second day love your vids! :)
Enjoyed seeing everyones set up, thanks for sharing 🐢💙👻
You host your channel with full of energy and enthusiasm, Good job 👍👍👍😁😁
I have a juvenile RES and a hatchling RES, planning on submitting my tank once I get a few more plants and decorations.. So far the two turtles are getting along! I have been slowly increasing their water because the juvenile used to be in a small 5 gallon tank with another turtle, now im at around 12 gallons in their 20 gallon tank
turtle girl:sees tank with no decorations
turtle girl:Do not aprove
I do believe you just explained the source or the leak in my childhood 20L that ended up getting replaced with another 20L that had a proper stand..... ( nearly 3 decades later)
Just goes to show, you’re never too old to learn....
& therein lies the reason I’m subscribed; well, one of many....
11:50 in India we dont get bulbs dedicated for uvb. Thats a big problem. the light that is being used solves the purpose according to the sellers
Loooooovvvvvveeeee iiiiiitttt it really helped give me so much inspiration for mine thanks so much
Great input and such. Atm mine is like the Spanish tank, but the Swiss is how I'm aiming from the beginning, because my rescued yellow bellied slider and map turtle prefer the water way more, and while the ybs likes basking a fair bit, she still swims a hell of a lot more. I made a floating dock with a ramp from fake rock, dead cheap. Later I'll probably add a fake beach are for the map. Anyway, now I'm seeing people use sand, I'm in awe- how does one syphon the tank clean without removing sand, and how does the excrement not mix among the sand? Also any advice for filtering the water would be hugely appreciated, I've made a hole in my floor with a pipe to the drain for easy syphoning and the occasional almost full drain (keeping good bacteria). It's a huge tank, about 850 liters if full, so half that at present. The filter definitely isn't best for the size, it's a three segment modular foam thing, I clean that and spot syphon the tank every couple of days, big "Bertha", or affectionately "lady B", the ybs drops a lot, and Infront of me after I'm done cleaning it haha. Anyway, the local aquatic place advised a pond pump, laguna 3000. It's of course ott but it's roughly 3x the rating of the tank, albeit roughly 600 more. It uses UV, so I don't think that's good for the good bacteria-i assume. I love how easy it is to clean and indicates when it's dirty, very good looking it up. Please advise, ms guru :) great vids!! Thanks sm for your knowledge and enthusiasm
Very informative video for turtle lovers, looking forward that you get more subscribers nd likes for such hard work.
Yesss!! I've been waiting for this video.
Hiii your vids really help me with my turtles i have three baby yellow slider turtles and every time they do something new i come here to make sure tgey are ok just saying thank you , you have helped me alot 🤍🤍
I would say that you don’t really need a filter for it to be proper in an outdoor setup as long as you have floating water plants like water lettuce or water hycanth or water lettuce, ive bred red ear sliders and they love the kind of murky water
I am getting a musk turtle in a few days
Ethan Davies nice
YOOOOOOOOOO pog my turtle died cause i was forced to leave my home cause my dad told me RIP MY BOX TURTLE
mineboyhc rip 😭
How exciting! Good luck!
@@TheTurtleGirl thanks for the praise
Hi! I'm upgrading my tank and I'm gonna go barebottom or tile (so no beneficial bacteria in substrate) and I'm going to be using a canister filter for the first time. Will it house enough beneficial bacteria for the tank? Or should I put a sponge filter in it too?
Behind you
nice video. good info. thank you for sharing. peace, love and blessings!
I love your videos! Every time you upload i get excited to watch whatever you post! Also I need some help. I have a hatchling yellow belly and she refuses to eat and it’s been 5 days since I got her. Her tank is also very suitable for her needs yet she refuses to eat completely. Is this normal or should i be more worried?
Thank you so much for sharing such a useful experience! I like this serie of videos, hope to watch it mor frequently, but It would be great if the turtle tanks are shown in full screen while being commented by you in a corner of the screen (mini thumbnail). So that way we can heard your preciatted reaction without loosing any turtle tank details. Hoping this comment can help your channel improve and grow, best regards!
Awesome content! Questions; How do I send my turtle tank set up to you? Also what size tank do you have behind you. Really nice set up. How many fish do you have in there. Currently trying to find fish to put in with my RES. Love the vids, keep up the great content!
Thanks! I have a couple convict cichlids and an algae eater. Not taking submissions just yet, but will soon!
Hey!! Love your vids !!My turtle most of the time is only on his basking area. What should I do??
Veronica Tom
Thank you , I would search for it !!
Whoever dislikes is a weirdo😭🤣 Your videos are amazing, I love watching them🙈💯
The turtle tub had a filter I seen the black thing to the left because I have the same kind it looks exactly like that one :)
Oh my gosh I love your videos and I have a hilarious Petco story. So this dad with his daughter were looking at red eared sliders and they were asking questions and an employee was trying to answer them. He asked how big they get and she said not that big so I showed him with my hands. Then he proceeded bro ask if you can train them to come to you when you call their name. I said yes because you can and told him it'll take a while to do it. First the employee she said I don't think so. Then after I said what I did she said Oh YEAH she clearly didn't have reptile knowledge but it's ok but the sad part is I'm 12 and she's probably in college.
Unfortunately pet store employees are not trained as well as you might think, because of the variety of animals that chains sell. Glad you were able to provide some info, and it's always good to suggest that people do their own research before buying a pet 😉
There is only 2 pet stores in my area that i know give real information. And there’s probably 70 pet stores within an hour from me
You help me so much with my red eared slider
Honestly I don’t own turtles or plan on owning any but I still love your channel and I watch your videos all the time
I’m thinking about getting a turtle and I took some notes is there anything else I need
UVB light bulb
Heat light bulb(replace every 6-9months)
Big tank- 10 gallons every inch
Turtle water conditioner
Basking area(with heat light bulb)
Filter
I’m getting a red eared slider btw
Splashergang that’s the best information, it’s great your doing research, anyways if it’s a baby feed it every day 2 or 3 times a day if it’s an adult feed it once a day.
U mixed up the uvb and heat bulb you should replace the UVB every 6 to 9 months other than that u covered all the basics
A heater for the aquarium is also a good idea, as well as a light for the aquarium if possible. Decorations, substrate, and food are some other things to get ;) you've got all the basics covered, good luck!
Pressure Bresh it’s not because it’s for when you do water changes, and I’ve done it every times it’s not harmful.
I love the tank
I do too!
I love it turtle girl! How can I show mine and my 3 painted turtles?🐊
Perfekt video. Informative
At 3:06, that tank is a hazard, a huge danger waiting to happen. Look at the heater being half way out of the water..that thing can EXPLODE.
I'm a big fan!
Hi I loveeee your content! I recently just got a turtle !
Thanks for watching Ella!
I’m such a big fan of yours it means the world to me that you replied!!💖
Hey i like your turtle video s and keep making turtle video s and stay positive and stay motivated and i like learning from your turtle video s and my turtle s names are speedy and cute🐢🐢🐢🐢
I'm not gonna lie, your right sleeve was really stressing me out. Lol 😭
I have an ornate terrapin 3 month old coming this Wednesday. Turtle girl can you give me some tips ? The breeder told me to do the neccesties only for now. ( water, filter, uv bulb and basking area, and plants to hide in, only ), room temp water at 5". besides that any tips ?
Ive noticed my turtle is hungry 24/7! I know youve said thats how they are not to give in but when I tell u he gets crazy every time he sees me he stays snapping at the tank wanting to eat! I literally hide from him when hes basking so he doesnt get off the rock when he sees me but I feel so bad makes me feel like hes starving lol! I feed him in the mornings every day I give him about 15 sticks should I just keep ignoring him? 😭 hes about a yr and a half old
i just want to say that one of the tank descriptions said it had 1 /2
half galloons of water, they probably meant to type 10/A half
I love turtle too❤️🐢
hey the turtle girl i love ur vids and i recently have got 2 babie red eared sliders, and im getting a new tank for them in about a week and i was wondering if u woul still be open for submissions by that time because i would love to see ur opionion on it thank u
I love your videos
I'm getting some turtles so excited I'm probably gonna get a common musk turtle and maybe and razor back and I might beble to breed them because I love baby turtles and turtles so yeah
I have 300 gallon tank and I have a soft shell turtle and a red ear slider
Hi, quick question, do you have any tips for eastern long neck turtles? I own one and just want to make sure I’m caring for her right
I have the above tank basking area. How do I add a top/ lights to the open side? It always seems really dark, and the water evaporated quickly since it’s open.
More turtle videos plzz 😄
i always click on one of your vids and as I watch it I think "I have to go to petsmart"
The filter is in the basking area I have the same one
Can i ask? this is my 2nd day taking care a turtle,
should I let the basking light on 24 hours or should I turn it off and on every 12 hour? thank you
Uvb and heat should be on 10-12 hours a day
Kind of unrelated to thw video but I just got a turtle and finished setting up his tank and I want to know if I can put him in immediately or if I have to wait a while
Hey turtle girl i was wondering if you could do a video on red eared sliders. I was looking to get a turtle off of kijiji, letgo, etc and i saw soooooooo many red eared sliders. I red the description and about 99% of the adds were rehoming because they impulse bought the turtle and it got too big. This is a problem and i dont think it could ever be adressed enough. Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion!
That’s how I got my red eared slider and it was her second time being rehomed.
Hey there! I’m thinking about getting a turtle but I’m not sure what store to go to to get one. Where did you get yours because I would really like to know! Thanks!
I got my RES from my local Petsmart, and I rescued the other RES
My turtles are still hatchlings I just got them four days ago :)
I have a question, can you bring your turtle outside or is it too dangerous?
I have a painted baby turtle so cute 🥰
Hey do you have any recommendations for 20 gallon water heater for my RES turtle. I'm worried about buying the wrong ones because I've heard some have cooked there pets because of a bad heater. If any of you have good recommendations for water heaters let me know :)
Yay new video!!
Yay!
@@TheTurtleGirl oh I never thought u would ever reply lol
How many gallons for a mud turtle? And how many for 2?
hey! i love your videos! quick question though, i have a turtle named timmy and hes i think the size of my dad's hands now. im trying to look for a way to upgrade his tank but i live in a basement and my family couldnt afford expensive things, is there a cheap way to upgrade his tank?
Enrico Pucci you could get a baby pool where i live there only 10 bucks
You could use one of those under the bed storage totes
Tooo laaggingggggg
Hiii Turtle girl, I've had 2 red eared sliders for 9 years. They are both girls and i was wondering, Will a bubbler stress them out or annoy them? I wanted to see before i bought a expensive one. But You are Great and Thank you so much i love your videos!
I like turtles!!
Please tell me the best way for baby turtles to learn to swim?
Can we take our turtle out in the sun ? And will we need a basking area too
I send on in to
Hii Newer Subscriber here! I love your videos and it's been very helpful for me as I plan to get a turtle of my own over the next 6 months or so. I love the tank videos they are giving me ideas on how to set up my 55 gallon tank. I was wondering if it's possible but could you setup an amazon storefront with items you reccomend that way all the links are in one place and you could get some profit from it when people shop your storefront which could really help you out with extra funds to help you continue on your youtube journey. Keep up the great work. ❤
hi.. how to send the image to you? everything I have is my own handcraft including tank, filters, basking and other decorations
I was wondering what size of tank u have behind u?
75 gallons
Hello there humans! I know this is kinda off topic, but have you ever seen turtle or fish abuse with your own eyes (small tank, no basking lights, ect). If so, what's the story? Did you say anything?
Not me binge watching all of these..
lol just don't forget to like each one ;P
Can i put half of my turtle "tub" in bright sunlight instead of buying a UV and warmth light?
A red eared slider, about an year old, was kept in minimal water wrongly by someone I know. I brought it home. Set up a nice tank. And now it doesn’t know to swim it seems. It starts panicking and just doesn’t go to swim. If left in minimal water it is quite comfortable. What do I do to teach it to swim?
Start with low water level and then slowly increase the water level with each water change . This will give the turtle enough time to get used to deeper water .
Thank you so much. Will try and let you know shortly if any further questions
@@harishnaidu8606 You're welcome 💚🐢 feel free to ask any questions you have 😊🙏🌸🌼🌹
Tweety the budgie birb t thank you so much. I think it is better at swimming now and also I added some food while he was learning as a treat to keep him motivated
Hi ! I am about to get a baby turtle.... But..... People say they carry some kind of bacteria and also many worms and stuff get into they're shells......They also say that they're aggressive and stuff..... I am confused should I get it or no...... Even if I do.....which is better aquatic turtle or land turtle?
I also wanted to ask...... Can we feed snails to the baby turtle????
Turtles have salmonella or traces of it in their digestive tract. For the aggression, it really depends on what turtle but I am pretty sure they are not very aggressive. For the turtle or tortoise question, whichever you want more is the answer. if u are willing to put in the work for them and you know your stuff you should be good. I recommend a Redfoot tortoise if u decide on tortoise because they are one of the easier species to take care of and are very hardy. Hope this helps!!
When are you doing another reptile tank reaction? I have a corn snake
Hey Kaitlyn! Not sure when, but when submissions open up again I'll be sure to mention it in a video. :)
Do you think I will be fine with 1 musk turtle in a 29-30 gallon tank?
Yep, that could definitely be sufficient, if you feel the turtle needs more space, bigger is always better :)
Hello how do I share mine
Hey I love your vids......I just bought a 40 gallon tank can two painted turtles live their whole lives in it....please let me know
No
No. You might be able to do one depending on the subspecies of painted and also the sex. Males stay smaller and a single male eastern or southern might be fine in a 40 it's whole life, but definitely not two. ;)
The Turtle Girl thanks for the reply.......can a adult map turtle live in a 40 gal it’d whole life
jordan i guess thanks for the reply
Dang didn’t see mine
Hi,anyoane can sugest what can i do to find my lost red slider turtle? She was in the grass and ran away in a grass field,i searched for 4 hours and i could not find her.. i've had her for 6 years,and i miss her so much😥💔
Hope you see this, but on your other video you talked about filming a project. Could you talk about that in your next video? Or on this comment. Sounds interesting :D sending good vibes and prayers your way!
If my turtle swim to me everytime she see me what that mean should I feed her ?
Mine does that too! He goes crazy. I feed him and he eats like he never has😂 i feed him everyday. Dramatic 🙄❤️
I wouldn't think you should since maybe they will get obese? I am often tempted too and I give in.... Sometimes.😂
Well
Do you remember that video in which you told us what you wish you knew before getting a turtle
I can totally relate
I had a turtle named Shelly and she died because we didn’t give her enough water
And she died
There r a hundreds of things I wish I knew
1 like = 1 prayer for Shelly
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
KAILAS KULKARNI my turtle s water levels are low and the second i saw this comments i filled it
What kind of turtle do you have?
