I recommend that you bring a spray bottle and fill it with water to spray your turtles (or the ground) when you go outside! To stay outside longer and refreshed!
Zebra danios are the perfect fish to go with diamondback terrapins. Get about 20-30 of them and put them in 75 gallon with the turtle. He should be in that size tank anyway
You have helped me so much in knowing all about keeping turtles. I am going to get one in 2 days...tysm for ur amazing videos...I hope everything will go alright with my turtle and it will live for yrs 😊🤗
Hey turtle girl, i love watching your videos and i feel like this is really one of the best channels to go for Information about espially aquatic turtles! I am thinking about having one myself for some time now and most of my info i got from you, so KUDOs to you for all your great videos!
I was given a full grown female red ear slider which is around 10 inches long. She a big girl. I was just given a 10 gal tank with the turtle. I immediately went and bought a backing area and a filter. I’m 15 so that’s all I could afford. Just got paid so when I can get a ride a basking lamps and food and Shrimpies are going to be bought aswell. I’ve been feeding greens and stuff from my garden for now. I am going to save up for a 20 gallon cus that’s all I can put in my room til I move out in 2 years. I feel bad for the little girl but I’m doing my best. Idk how long it’s been since she was able to dry off or swim and see where she’s going so she’s living just clear water and a way to get out. It’s really sad. I’m going to worry about decor and such after getting a decent sized tank and the nessessary things she actually needs.
I'm going to get a Southern painted in a couple of weeks and I am sooo excited!!! My friend has a turtle and my cousin has a snake so I am used to handling them and stuff. Been watching your vids for a while. I am so excited!
His real routine: Wakes up like #*@!, he scratches the 87th tic mark on a nearby rock, he eats a fish alive and saves the bones in his shell and then asks: "where is Nemo when you need him?"
So I have had my turtle for a couple years but about a year ago I added 2 guppies thinking my turtle would eat them but instead he was afraid of them and he just stayed on his basking rock but now he isn't afraid of them but he doesn't try to chase them either so I thought I could add more but as soon as I put them in their he killed them both lol
Is there a video on Spotted Turtles? My water is perfect with nitrates and everything else but the water is cloudy. How do you know if you’re filter working? I have a 110 gallon filter for a 40 gallon breeder
I love your videos! They’re so helpful as I just got two new turtles for my son. When should we keep the lights on? I have both a regular light and uv light
hello! i only just recently found your channel, I just wanna say that your past vids of your axolotls have been very helpful! as I am getting an axolotl (hopefully 🤞) soon! 😁😁
Hi! My neighbor found a baby turtle in her backyard and kept him for a year in horrible conditions. I saved him, and he is in a twenty gallon bin with plants, a dock, driftwood, and sand. It won’t bask no matter what! Is it because it used to be wild? Ps: your tank is sooo good!
We have been looking for a turtle. Where do you purchase your turtles? We are having quite a time finding one at a pet store. Lots of tortoises but no luck finding turtles.
Thank you so much for all your informative videos! I am about to get a Southern Painted and your videos have taught me a lot! I have Thrive Aquatic Turtle Gravel in my tank and was wondering if you think I should remove it because of impaction risks, or if it is big enough that that shouldn't be an issue. Thanks again :)
Just wait till you get one they are vicious blood thirsty savages mines eat or kill any thing alive in my aquarium that's why my aquarium looks boring af they cant have anything nice
Love your videos. They’re so entertaining and helpful, but I wish there were some tips for large turtles. It’s all fun and games until the lil cutie grows into a10” behemoth. 🤦🏻♀️ lol
I just got a brand new tank and I filled it up with water but it’s kinda cloudy so you know how to make it not cloudy or why it could be cloudy? I am using sand as a substrate but I cleaned it all and rinsed it all pretty well so I don’t think it’s because of the sand but I’m not sure.
Hi. It’s 2/5/23 and I have a question about my turtle he’s not basking and he doesn’t swim that well. Should I be concerned? Your videos are very helpful Thanks
I’m a new Mommy Turtle and came across your channel❤ However I haven’t been able to find if it’s safe to add tap water or does it have to be purified ???? Help😢
Hi I'm new to your channel but a big fan of turtles. I've had my red ear glider since 1990 wen the frist ninja turtles movie came out. He's been sick a few thime but always got over it. For the last few weeks he hasn't eaten or done much at all. He's super old maybe it's just his time soon but will hate to see him go. Is there anything i can try to get him to eat again. Tryed everything i can think of. The only vet around me that will look at him wants 250 just to bring him in. To probably tell me he's out lived himself by 10 years or so. By the way Love the channel and will continue to watch.
Hi, I watch your videos all the time, that’s where I get some of my facts, tips and how to look after turtles. My turtle was infected with “Fungus Infection” and recently died at 3 months old… we are going to try again with turtles. Thanks so much for making these videos!
do you use a canister filter or a different external filter that hangs over the edge? I'm looking into switching from an internal filter to external because I want more swimming space and I'm thinking since I'm going to have to upgrade tank sizes soon too...... should I just bite the bullet snd buy the canister filter?
How often do you clean your tank? Also, my turle poops like once a day, a big fat doodoo. I can't imagine hunting for it among all the "clutter" in that tank - how do you do it?
hi I’m getting a turtle for my birthday, I don’t know what type and all that stuff because that’s a surprise but I still wanna do my research so is there anything you and recommend me to look at? if so thank you!!
I have a question, can I use a liner like how what you use for your leopard geckos substrate but mine has a sticky side but I’m not gonna peel off the thing so it doesn’t make it stick it’s just gonna be there
i have a musk turtle about an inch of shell, when he eats he makes a mess.. and i knew that from research. i've tried to feed him in a separate container and he would not eat and just hide, he eats in his tank right away though. how do i switch from feeding in his tank to not? i've had him for 3 months and i clean his tank 100% water change weekly. he doesn't have much water since musk aren't the best swimmers.
Tip of advice if you want him not to try to bite you dont feed him by hand you can train him not to bite by when he tries shake your finger at him and dont hand feed itll work
i just recently got a mississippi diamondback terrapin and i’ve been binging all your stuff. it’s been a lot of work n learning but i’m loving my first turtle :)
Question my neighbor let his Turtle walk arround outside his house and it almost got ran over do i throw a Sandle and headshot him cause HIS TURTLE ALMOST FRICKING DIED and hes not careful at all he was just recording his turtle f0r some fricking reason
Sorry, continuing, I've had her for 21 years. She started out in a 55 gallon tank and gradually moved up to her 8000 gallon outdoor luxury condopond. Good info but since you have a freshwater fish, I'm assuming the tank has no salt content. Your terrapin may need a saltwater bath occasionally. "Turtle" has had several bouts of shell disease over the years...bacterial "holes" or pits forming on her shell. Just a bath for 1-3 week period in about 50:50 seawater and freshwater should heal the shell. They are brackish water turtles but mine lives normally in freshwater. I also feed heads on frozen shrimp at least twice a week for calcium. Heads on important for nutrients in shrimp head and guts. She needs a male badly...goes a little crazy when it's egg laying time. 😋

Thats a great tip!!
I’m so happy because since I got a new bigger basking spot my turtle has started basking more again
That’s awesome!
Same
Excellent!
Why a turtle and not a dog or cat?
@@nikeuchiha3675 because cats and dogs at basic pets. There are cute but just very common
Zebra danios are the perfect fish to go with diamondback terrapins. Get about 20-30 of them and put them in 75 gallon with the turtle. He should be in that size tank anyway
For sure! Those are on my list. I’d love to upgrade him!
It’s not absolutely necessary for him to be in a 75 yet he’s still pretty small allthough I do like to spoil my turtles with big tanks
@@carterheath2338 mine is in a 75 and thriving. Also the fish survive with more room too
You have helped me so much in knowing all about keeping turtles. I am going to get one in 2 days...tysm for ur amazing videos...I hope everything will go alright with my turtle and it will live for yrs 😊🤗

Sweet!!! Congrats and best of luck!
What kind of turtle is that
A diamondback terrapin which I guess won’t be for sale due to it being endangered
Hoku's spots are so coool!! Love this dude.
Is it a bad thing that my turtle sleeps during the day and not night?
Liked the video and the number is now 666. 😱
hi can you teach me how to care for a yellow pond turtle?
His real routine: Wakes up like #*@!, he scratches the 87th tic mark on a nearby rock, he eats a fish alive and saves the bones in his shell and then asks: "where is Nemo when you need him?"
😂
ur camera quality is fire 🔥🔥🔥 gahlee
Thanks ☺️
Next vedio how to catch a turtle in a hand ✋ plsssss
In my moms hair salon a guy sold us illegal turtle we never knew I’m so happy I was scared to touch it lol next time I’m going to the pet shop
should I only feed them that specific snail I have Tadpole snails in another tank are these safe?
Yeah there safe just make sure the snails come from clean water 👍
Why do you keep him alone?
Woah! That algae scraper is so cool! I’ve been using a toothbrush 🤣
Lol yeah it's awesome...here's a link!

You are my favorite. You have taught me so much. Your turtle Hoku (unsure of spelling) is soooooo beautiful.
Yep you spelled it right! I'm so glad to hear that Irving. Thank you for the support!

Think of it like the sun - i have mine on for 10-14 hrs depending on the time of year!
hello! i only just recently found your channel, I just wanna say that your past vids of your axolotls have been very helpful! as I am getting an axolotl (hopefully 🤞) soon! 😁😁
I stopped putting fish friends in my turtle tanks... Because they always eat their friends

Tiger barbs can go with the turtles and they look amazing 🤩
Hi turtle girl, I have 2 turtles. Jeff and Peanut. 20 and 17.
Can I put Driftwood in my turtle tank they're small turtles I only got a 10 gallon tank
We have been looking for a turtle. Where do you purchase your turtles? We are having quite a time finding one at a pet store. Lots of tortoises but no luck finding turtles.
How do i make a bigger basking box for my boy Archie ? I have the tank with the plastic bar across the top center.
I would love to see like weekly vlogs? Film a little every day of things you do, even if its all not animal related!
What type of turtle do you have? I am looking for a turtle that stays relatively small I don’t want anything that’s by 12 inches or bigger
If the turtle already has access to direct sunlight, why do you also use UVB light?
Thank you so much for all your informative videos! I am about to get a Southern Painted and your videos have taught me a lot! I have Thrive Aquatic Turtle Gravel in my tank and was wondering if you think I should remove it because of impaction risks, or if it is big enough that that shouldn't be an issue. Thanks again :)
How do I send you a video cause I have a albino turtle
if hoku ate the algae eater and the algae eater ate algae, doesn't that mean hoku ate algae????
How do I keep turtles from STANKIN’ ?
I was wondering if every turtle owner gets salmonella? I don't want to get it but I want a turtle
Just started following your channel to get some advice for my turtle's tank ...nice vid!
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying :)
Can you tell me the species of that turtle becouse im a beginner and i want that turtle :D
weird thing to ask but would you do a pet room tour?
beatiful turtle really. whats the species?
Yay a daily routine this can help me when I get a turtle 🐢 but we can all agree turtles are cute
Just wait till you get one they are vicious blood thirsty savages mines eat or kill any thing alive in my aquarium that's why my aquarium looks boring af they cant have anything nice
Haha turtles can be cute AND deadly
@@Alan-garci oh
@@TheTurtleGirl I guess so
Love your videos. They’re so entertaining and helpful, but I wish there were some tips for large turtles. It’s all fun and games until the lil cutie grows into a10” behemoth. 🤦🏻♀️ lol
haha that's true! thanks for the suggestion - maybe down the road
I just got a brand new tank and I filled it up with water but it’s kinda cloudy so you know how to make it not cloudy or why it could be cloudy? I am using sand as a substrate but I cleaned it all and rinsed it all pretty well so I don’t think it’s because of the sand but I’m not sure.
When I first added sand to mine it was really cloudy so I would just let it sit with the filter on for a few hours
What kind of turtle is that? He's nice
Tomorrow I can see you at a time 8:13
My birthday is Aug 6 🎉
Loved the video 🤩🤩also What type of camera do you record with the quality is amazing
thanks! sony a7c!
I love your videos
Second
🥈 wahoo!
What!!!First time youtuber replied me
I own 2 red ear sliders
Hi. It’s 2/5/23 and I have a question about my turtle he’s not basking and he doesn’t swim that well. Should I be concerned? Your videos are very helpful Thanks
if they're a baby, that's pretty normal? I'm not really sure I have enough information to tell you one way or another.
Hii, I would like to know if I can bask my hatchlings in the direct sunlight?
Yeah but always have shade available
I’m a new Mommy Turtle and came across your channel❤
However I haven’t been able to find if it’s safe to add tap water or does it have to be purified ???? Help😢
You can do either! For when first setting up the tank, or water changes more than 50% i do use conditioner, but if not, I don’t bother
Oh
Hi
I really enjoyed this video and now I have some good ideas of how to take better care of my turtle! Thanks!
great!!
My turtle also eats fish! We bought six- 4 got eaten! Haha maybe we should see who has eaten the most fish!
U are the best and all of your vids are fire 🔥
Why thank you Jennifer :))
Thank You Ever So Much!
I Love My Myrtle the Turtle,
But,
Don’t know much about them! ❤
Do you think it’s possible that since he’s shedding he’s more hungry that normal?

Hello, Love all your videos! I have 3 turtles(separate tanks) and interested in the diamondback- is Hoku a concentric diamondback?
do you use a canister filter or a different external filter that hangs over the edge? I'm looking into switching from an internal filter to external because I want more swimming space and I'm thinking since I'm going to have to upgrade tank sizes soon too...... should I just bite the bullet snd buy the canister filter?
do turtles skin ever peel? i tried to look it up but it kept talking about there scutes but i need to know if there skin peels or sheds please help
My red eared slider occasionally sheds skin.
How often do you clean your tank? Also, my turle poops like once a day, a big fat doodoo. I can't imagine hunting for it among all the "clutter" in that tank - how do you do it?

i luv ur channel c: i dont even have a turtle i have a hamster and betta fish doe! (names for hammy are Cisco, betta fish : Meeco)
Can you overfeed a turtle?
Ye
You should try getting an Oscar if the Convicts got eaten
when will u send me back the note i sent in the mail from u? my name is Austin Bartell
funny you should ask! Its in the mail now :)
@@TheTurtleGirl k ty!
I also have a 2 years old northern diamondback.
My turtle has a couple of silver spots on his shell. I dont know what it is. Can u help me.
Hii, I start school soon and im not sure what to do with my turtle, can you make a video about it please :(
hey im just asking are the snails alive
Yes!
When you too off the water do you use water conditioner to take out all the bad stuff?
Also I’m afraid to take them outside. I feel like a bird will swoop in and eat them!
whats the best filter for a turtle tank 20 gallon tank i have a sand substrate
Tip of advice if you want him not to try to bite you dont feed him by hand you can train him not to bite by when he tries shake your finger at him and dont hand feed itll work
He looks like his lifes mission is to find a way out of the tank.
pretty much
Do turtles actually need a heater in the water I already got a bright heat light ? And how long should I keep a baby turtle out of her tank
how many times should I feed my turtle a day?
get a bristlenose pleco to replace your algae eater.
Loved the video 🐢💚
Thank you!
What's the breed of this turtle it's so beautiful 🥺
Hoku, you are beautiful!!!
i just recently got a mississippi diamondback terrapin and i’ve been binging all your stuff. it’s been a lot of work n learning but i’m loving my first turtle :)
