- This is a TEMPORARY indoor 20 gallon aquarium for my Pelomedusidae. I may add a few more artificial trees for hiding. This is only TEMPORARY I will be putting her back outside very soon.
THANKS FOR WATCHING!
• How I Setup My African...
• NEW TURTLES FINALLY AR...
Suggestion:
Even though it’s a temporary tank, and some more decorations! Turtles in general like to explore. Give her some more plants, hiding space, ect to explore.
Overall, good work! A great video!
Thanks but she doing quite well. I’ve also upgraded her enclosure. chick on the link th-cam.com/video/Wbas-Rc9uLg/w-d-xo.html

@@aquatickeeper3356 welcome
Nice
Thank you 😊
So is it safe to fully submerge the heater like that?
Yes indeed!
Can I keep two African side necks in the same tank?
Yes. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/Wbas-Rc9uLg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dC9qqL6ztUE5gitp
Where did you get your UVB/A lamp ? If Amazon what is the name of it😭 I’m fixing to buy one from petsmart but I wanted to get my tank together first
I bought the actual lamp from a local aquarium store. The 💡 is a splash proof light made by Zoo Med.
I saw one at petsmart I'm thinking of getting one
Me too!
@UCN0MaewjqIK9c00gUHW0_EQ they are cool pets to have in your house

@@aquatickeeper3356 oh cool
@@aquatickeeper3356 i just need ti found a table For it
i have a baby african sideneck turtle , how much water should i use for her? i don’t even think she’s a year old..
I would just fill it have way up.
What heat lamp do you have???
Zoo Med
Awe yep
She loved red worms 🪱 and occasionally nite worms
Nice
I have a question about the heater? What did u use? I need to order one?
It’s just submersible heater. You can pick it up at Petsmart or Walmart.
we alsoe have sid necks 2 of them
That’s great!
How do you know if you have a male or female
The female has a flat bottom. The make has a slight curve.
What made me think mine was a female is once started to notice eggs in the tank
Definitely a female. I pretty sure males don’t lay eggs lol
Ok
Gold fish is what she usually ate
I don’t usually feed them fish. Just turtle pellets by Zoo med.
@@aquatickeeper3356 I tried everything every turtle food on the market I could find she would not touch it. The pet store I got her from fed her gold fish so I did too and she loved red worms and night crawlers
I to have a African side neck the one I have is a male
I’m currently looking for male friend fir her. I will make a video when I get one.
Was told not to feed her meal worms
Yes. People say they can’t digest them. Mines has no problem yet. I don’t read them to her often.
@@aquatickeeper3356 I was told not to give meals worms because their heads could stay alive and eat at the turtles insides???don't know if it's true
@pam8962 that is definitely not true 😭 the thought is very scary though lol
I was a bad turtle 🐢 mom wouldn't have another one
You live and you learn.
She ate gold fish and liver
Yep these turtles should never be adopted leave them in the wild
Thanks for sharing
But yet you leave a million other positive comments in different threads but drop this one hush Karen
Right and leaving them at petco is a better option? Or bringing them to their natural environment? Neither is better than caring for them as a pet. Wake up! people that adopt them from stores are saving them if they care for them correctly!
Comment on the pet stores page if you want to promote removal from the wild you clearly know little about how this stuff works
If u cared about the animal the worst thing you could do is discourage adoption
