Idk, I’ve found that baby turtles love to wedge themselves into tight places for their own safety, and while you might at first panic about them getting stuck, they really know how to get themselves in and out of tight spaces
@@patrickstanley7211 I've had to rescue my baby painted from drowning himself in his own tank a half dozen times because of that. Now my moto is, better safe than sorry.
With the amount of space you have, you can make make the whole porch under the shade there to be long wide aquarium or evena terrarium, where you can raise the new borns. IT would be great as a display piece and a beautiful viewing area, especially with LEDs at evening or nights.
Aquarium painting tip. Put on a very light first coat and let it dry. Then the second coat has something to adhere to and you’ll actually use less paint and have a nicer finished product.
Kenan u have so many rare turtles you should get a few more commen turtles to educate new turtle owners that arnt going to have rare turtles I think u should get a few hatchlings of different species that can go in that tank with the diamond back terrapin like a painted turtle or something like that
I also have a 55gal tank with two Marineland 220 pumps. I use river rock for the bottom. My sliders are about 18 months old and will eat all day if I feed them. They are twice the size when I got them. They rearrange the tank and move the plastic plants. I used a sheet of jungle paper to wrap around three sides.
I like using a back ground scene behind the tank and I only paint the sides. But your right the security of only having one viewing area does make a big difference. Great video as always!!
Works only if you don't need a monster tank lol but anything below 55-40 gallons is great when that sale hits. (They changed it so you can't get anything over a 40 iirc for $1/gal)
Na he's right about online sales sites like craigslist, offerup, letgo, etc. I picked up 18 various sized tanks from 20gal to 125gal from someone who was getting out of the hobby for free. Just needed a little vinegar and elbow grease to make them like new again.
Good job on the tank. I black out all over mine as well. Just a tip paint one coat side to side paint the next coat up and down better coverage that way.
Need basking lamp, Uv b bulb, and heater. That led light is not adequate. I would also pull the log in the middle so he won't get stuck and drown but it is a very nice set up!
Aquarium can get heavy very quickly so make sure your stand can support the weight. Water is 8.5 lbs per gallon and a 55 gallon tank empty is 78 lbs. Just filling halfway with water, substrate and decorations will put it over 400 pounds and most standard furniture is not meant to support that much weight.
Indian Spotted Pond Turtles (Geoclemys hamiltonii). Also get another diamondback terrapin if you aloud two, may as well have two and try breeding them, as they are a species of conservation interest.
I used a 55 gallon tank filled it up all the way and built a basking area on top of it. I made a ramp for them to get up on top with plywood. They use it alot
Razorback musk!!! They have wonderful personalities and beautiful patterns and I don’t think you have one haha put some fake plants throughout so it can rest if needed. Currently I have 5 dbt in a 55 gallon they damn near doubled in size in just a few weeks it’s crazy! Cute little turds
You should do traditional 20-30% water changes once a week to reduce the amonia, nitrates and nitrites from buildingup in the tank. I am sure turtles do not do well in high ammonia situations.
Yeah hi can I think that Turtles gorgeous anyways I hope it doesn't get stuck between the glass in that log is look like it was starting to when you were trying to make it go forward you might want to pull that logs assets had away from that wall that glass wall I know you know better you're the turtle x 4 and 1/2 I just don't want the little thing to drown because it got stuck between a log in a glass ball that would be horrible anyways I think your tank came out beautiful and I'm sure it's going to look better as time goes on what a little adorable turtle anyways please take care I love all your tortoises and turtles love watching you take care of them and take care of nature you're very very good at it you're good man thank God for people like you cuz we really need people like you there's too many people that just don't care about anything but themselves I don't know what the world is coming to anyways please take care and God bless you and your whole family can't wait to see what's next
Just stumbled on this video . I’ve done similar with my turtle tank … but instead of painting the sides I’ve used dark window tint film, so I can still see in but they don’t see out .
You are the perfect guy to talk to the Florida Wildlife guys about the FL baby turtle kidnapping ring they broke up. They're depleting species? I wish you would do a vid about it. It's upsetting. What's going on? Thanks for sharing your ❤️ for our reptiles.
You should always lay an aquarium on its front side to paint the back. This will eliminate any and all spotting and will give you a fully blacked out back, same for the sides and bottom. Use gravity in your favor. Also seeded biological media should of been used. I know you’re not a fish guy, just a few suggestions. Other than that, love your channel dude
Nice work! Chop an inch off of your log. If it expands against the glass it will rupture the aquarium seam or crack the glass. I hate going into civilization. Lol. You and me both. That's why I spent most of my life in the woods and in and on the water.
We had a peacock slider Mississippi map turtle eastern painted turtle pink bellied side neck 2 musk turtles & 2 red eared sliders as babies now theyre so big!
Man awesome! I love turtles! I have several turtles on our Homestead and I’m trying to be better about filming them more on my channel Texas Jungle! Thanks for the motivation and video!
i'm from jersey. every summer there's a turtle rescue i put together. down by doc road where my sisters boat is, any dead terrpains we find we'll cut open to save the eggs inside. ALWAYS, check dead turtles for eggs. i've saved quite a few in jersey by doing this. it's funny; when i crab here terrapins will grab my line. i use just a string, a hook ( not a hook but something to hold the fish on ) and terrapins will get pulled up hanging on the fish, lol.
I would have used film instead of paint, like what you would find on polished stainless steel to protect it from scrasting. Much easier to peel off if you need to.
The little thing is a good swimmer but can it climb a mooving, bobbing log? Id get rocks for the reasons already mentioned, but also for caves & hiding places and some piled up for basking or resting outside the water...
And u should do a night vlog so we can see better into that new turtle tank cuz the sun was really blocking seeing it just another suggest man love ya kenan
My turtle loves to eat ram snails once he gets bigger you will be spending a lot of time replanting but it’s worthwhile I think it makes them feel safer
Glad the paint worked for you! 👨🎨
Yer
I think you should have grabbed some stones out of the pond for beneficial bacteria in there for quick start
Yurr
Its not a big deal
"I hate having to go out to civilization" 😂 I feel you!
I like that comment also. That's how I feel. Lol
My only friends are my turtles 😂
Lol I was gonna comment about that then I seen this 😂
Me2
Now we really fucking can’t
If you peel the tape when it's wet it doesn't lift the drying paint
sheena winslow yes! But I was on a deadline for the video:)
Kamp Kenan omg I love ur channel so much
Move the log into the centre of the tank so he cant get stuck between it and the glass
You're right
yep i thought that too
I had to do that for my baby turtle..lol

Good turtles would be
1.Shoftshell
2.Pink belly side neck
3.map turtle
Those are my 3 recenedetions.
I like it when you DIY projects, starting to get a renewed interest in your video's. Have a nice day, be happy. 😉
Glad to hear it Danny!
LOVE the black paint idea! Thanks!!!!🐢
So informative, my turtle tank is about to get a make over!!!
Look at those little legs go, put that guy on a swim team!

Acrylic paint works best for glass and it's fairly easy to get it off
If you use a bowl in the tank, hose into the bowl, and let that overflow to fill the tank with water, you’ll get a lot less substrate disturbance ✌🏻
I’m really digging the black paint, I’ll have to incorporate that into the mata tank
Gregs Turtle Haven I just black window film that is easier and when you don’t like it then it’s easy to remove
That's about the cutest thing i've ever seen!
I also have a 55gal tank with two Marineland 220 pumps. I use river rock for the bottom. My sliders are about 18 months old and will eat all day if I feed them. They are twice the size when I got them. They rearrange the tank and move the plastic plants.

Rock caves and plants would be very cool! 🐢

Nice job on this. Pro tip: $1 per gallon is the way to go for folks buying tanks.
Turbo Fish wish that was true

How the heck did the camera that’s on the tripod start moving before he grabbed it?!
Poor little turbo. Think you need to have Fred help you get a couple more.
Little dude needs a name. I vote for Crush.
You should put some cherry shrimp or guppies in the tank
Such a beautiful turtle!
Good job on the tank. I black out all over mine as well. Just a tip paint one coat side to side paint the next coat up and down better coverage that way.

I can't wait to see this little dude grow up!!
Loved this vid. I'm going to have to Google difference between terrapin & turtle. Loved watching the new terrapin swimming.
"There's a bucket on your tortoise "- my 3 year old smart brother 😂
That's sweet

Leather back sea turtle. You can try to get that 😂
"We have all the ingredients we need." Wait i didn't know we were cooking??😂
Indian Spotted Pond Turtles (Geoclemys hamiltonii). Also get another diamondback terrapin if you aloud two, may as well have two and try breeding them, as they are a species of conservation interest.
I suggest some classic Red Ear Sliders! 🐢👌
Turtle goes in at 28:00
I used a 55 gallon tank filled it up all the way and built a basking area on top of it. I made a ramp for them to get up on top with plywood. They use it alot
The turtle really is adorable
We have the same filter for me daughters red eared.works great.

Is nobody gonna talk bout that huge turtle shell?
I love the turtle
Get a mud or musk hatchling! They are awesome for in home enclosures here up North!
Baby turtles are a hoot!
Spray paint also works to paint glass
When I had cichlids in with a turtle they picked on her feet. Then she ate them.
Sharon Meriwether lol 😂 I find that funny some how
Beautiful ornate diamondback!!
Let Go is a great place to get cheap aquariums
Nice shirt. Noticed the square &compasses!!
*hears the surname Leone*
“IS HE RELATED TO BRAD LEONE FROM BA?!” 👀
I love your vids

Rinse your carbon!
This was great to watch. I have canister filter phobia. lol
Good morning
Really awesome
Do live plants in the turtle tank

Krylon spray paint works well.
We had a peacock slider Mississippi map turtle eastern painted turtle pink bellied side neck 2 musk turtles & 2 red eared sliders as babies now theyre so big!
A red ear slider and yellow belly and 2 baby snappers. Few blue gills and crawdads from a crrek by my hpuse
Man awesome! I love turtles! I have several turtles on our Homestead and I’m trying to be better about filming them more on my channel Texas Jungle! Thanks for the motivation and video!
Spoted Turtle!!

Please get an Indian Spotted Turtle or 2!

You’re awesome Kenan 🙌🏽💯🙌🏽
So we just gone bypass the big ass Tortoise on the table 😂
They have diamondback terrapins in Houston in the Galveston bay.
Hello, May I know the name of that store please? I have been trying to get diamondback in houston
Clemmys guttata would look nice in there
That's magic Kenan. Outrageously easy aqua scape. But hey real men don't read instructions. X
You can add a Musk turtle, not many people own one!
yup your the greatest !!! you made a water mirror!! good job
i was just watching one of SerpaDesign's videos. Yours was the first in recommended to watch next.
grab some rocks on the pond then put it on the tank to jumpstart the cycle.
Don't know why you just didn't use black tape cus you used loads of tape anyway masking up your table, anyway I allways enjoy the videos Kenan
yep, thats how you do it!
Great content, Thanks kenan!
And u should do a night vlog so we can see better into that new turtle tank cuz the sun was really blocking seeing it just another suggest man love ya kenan
you should have baby alligators and watch them grow
This is amazing😍
baby red ear slider!
LOL- TOM EDITING. omg lmao. Mad love Tom for doing WORK on Kenans footage! You always create lovely videos. XO
Next time spray paint comes off just as easy
Such a beautiful little terrapin! One of my favorite aquatic turtle species 🐢🐢💖💖
Get some Mississippi Map Turtles
Thanks for the tip Kenan, hopefully one day I can get a turtle myself
Kenan he might be able to swim right after he has a heart attack. He’s anything to get out….lol
You should get a snake neck turtle
Thats a great way to get him stuck between the glass and wood
I am happy that I am not the only one with a (aquascape)messed up tank.
Most informative. I will eventually be setting up a tank and this will help
Use more sand, it will better anchor plants. And use rocks, even plants that are taller than the water is deep...
One of my fav. Videos uv done in a long time. Aside from flyriver and sea turtles diamond backs are my fav. Love your videos. Keep um coming
I love the diversity in your channel!
I really enjoyed this video. I’d love to see more of creating habitats like this.
My turtle loves to eat ram snails once he gets bigger you will be spending a lot of time replanting but it’s worthwhile I think it makes them feel safer
Should put a mata mata in with
