Ahhhh, I don't have the problem of my turtles constantly outgrowing tanks, I just keep musk turtles lol 😂
😂same
Why isn't your channel blowing up with sponsorships? Srsly the most educational and relevant turtle hobby channel on the web!
Thank you!!!
Good video Dan. Lots of people talk about how Red Eared Sliders get too big, therefore they make terrible pets, and then they end up dumping them. But what if people knew they could buy a tub at TSC for 80 bucks and create their own filter like you suggest? I think we might see less RES’s “returned” to the wild if more people knew they don’t need to buy thousands of dollars to keep their pet.
Don't forget substrate! Pool filter sand or Play Sand from home Depot are like $5 for 50 lbs, compared to aquarium sand from a pet store that's like $20 for 5lbs or something like that.
I knew I was missing one!!!
So true! I bought a tub for $3 and now I still don’t have to change anything 🐢
I've been using a livestock trough from rubber made for about 30 years. Bought it for $150 for a 100 gallon way back in the old days.
Omg I have the same plush! It's happy when I can talk at work and angry when I shouldn't be disturbed 🐢💚
Just an FYI, instead of paying for polyester fiberfill, buy a $3.00 cheap bed pillow from Walmart. Same filling inside!!
#1 save money on enclosure............ I just spent around $800 making a turtle enclosure....... no regrets 😂. It's huge and look really awesome considering it was my first enclosure build. I took an 8x4ft utility trailer and put acrylic glass on the frame for walls, along with some other stuff, but it's basically a turtle house on wheels now 😂
Those ornate DBTs are looking gooooooood!
Tanks get algae blooms super fast also. Had to build a custom cover for my 150 gallon for high sun days.
Great video, learned something new even for a experienced keeper :)
I used the bigger one for this stock tank the blue onne I burried it in the ground thats where my bigger turtles during summer are.yes I build my own filter also is really cheap because I dont use sponge I used lava rocks river peables and plants even my inside tank
Awesome!!
Thanks for sharing
This was great! :)
Congratulations 🎉on 25,000 subs! Still surprised Greg’s turtlehaven is not huge!
I absolutely agree! Greg's information is invaluable and second to none.
Also I love u charlie
Those ornate juveniles are so damn cute and beautifull man 😍🥰 i have only centrata,s but in the future for sure i will get some ornates. 😬 i do like tanks more but you are right they are expensive 😅🤣
I have found all my tanks from 1gallon to 150 gallon tanks lol i love the rich people that live around me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
HAHA I love that! 🤣
Great info!
Handsome and he loves turtles 🐢 ❤ omg im in love subscribed and liked ✨
Dan I just got my new baby turtle yesterday can you make another tutorial video?
I got a kiddie pool at wallmart for 10$ its perfect for my fairly large RES. If i had more money at the time they had an even bigger and taller kiddie pool for about 15?21? i dont remeber. I think the tank is the biggest price tag.
New subie great channel informative
Hi, I have had a turtle for 5 years now but I have just started to do research. Last year I upgraded to a 350 stock tank outside, I have 3 turtles, a 6 inch, and two 5 inches, it is currently NOT filtered. I was looking at what GPH a new filter should be some places say it should be times 5 but a filter for 1750 gallons seems like a lot. Help I don't know what to do.
I use a 3x filter and so far, so good. Although I only got 1 turtle... 3 turtles are definitely way more messy🤔

What heater do you use?
Hey where can I get the inside out turtle in the beginning
Hey Dan will it be safe to add a fully grown male musk turtle with a 9month old female musk
So long as their sizes are similar and they have plenty of hiding spots. Keep an eye that the male doesn't incessantly bother the female
OK thank you will a razor back muck and common muck get on
Hmm..I dont know if its a good idea to heat plastic tubs and dont expect any chemicals to be released into the water. Maybe its cheaper, but ..not better for the health of your turtles. My view on this is ..when you dont have the money to buy proper tanks, just let it be.
I am getting a turtle tank and I get $300 to use for the turtle tank and the turtles and I don’t know what time to get
Have you lost a turtle
Hi pls answer
Hello!!
@@DanTheTurtleMan_ omg your the best
Can you sell me turtle and if you can how much would it be
I get all my turtles for free,snappers,redear sliders,stink pots and others all I have to do is go fishing turtles are every where.
Please don't take turtles from the wild. That wasn't the point of this video. Unless they're invasive, native turtles are already on the decline and the species you mentioned are readily available in captivity for fairly cheap
