also happy father’s day! thanks dad for helping me haul my animals and stuff across 5 states :) you da best road trip buddy!
It is a great video, but you left your turtle in poop until whenever and plop him there, yet you give your gecko space and such, there is a problem with that, sorry. ✌🍁
hey!! I had just got a softshell turtle he is around 7+ inches what is a good tank setup for him?
@@cindyd.554 I did clean out the poop as soon as we got into twin falls :) if it had been a longer trip, I would have let him soak a bit and swim around in a tupperware, but he did just fine. He’s now got a whole 20 gallon setup to himself and is quite happy ;)
Moving to college in a couple weeks in Kansas. You don’t even know how clutch this video is, thank you sooo much!!!!
Glad to hear it Sy! Best of luck!
I loved watching this travel vlog! You included proper transportation methods for your animals and i think that everything was really helpful and I had fun along the way!
glad you enjoyed Holly!
Thank you for sharing your fun moving adventure! I love that you took a couple of your babies with you 🤗 I hope you have a wonderful experience this summer!!
it's been fun!
I'm moving apartments in a couple of weeks and I'm really glad this came up at this time. Thank you!
Great Vlog, as always very entertaining and informative. I just want to wish you good luck on your internship. I’m confident that you will do an awesome job.
The turtle room is confirmation that it is meant to be. We are spoken to in many ways. If it makes your heart flutter you’re in the right place.
That is so exciting that you are moving for the summer 😁also love you videos so much they are super education but also super funny and you have a great camera presence 😁✨
Aw thank you so much Gianna!
Awwww, Safe travels 🙏
thanks Courtney!
Congratulations on your internship
Thank you for sharing
thanks :)
Love the content as always, p.s. I'm excited you'll be in my neck of The woods!
Safe travels!!! I hope you have an amazing time!
appreciate it :D
@@TheTurtleGirl ❤
I would love to have a bedroom like that! I have a turtle tattoo on my lower arm. So awesome!!!
Thanks!! Its a pretty sweet setup if i do say so myself xD
Girl I love denver! So happy for you!
I’m loving it so far!
I love your videos, you bring so much to the turtle keeping community.
I have a common musk name Gamira. ( a giant turtle the size of Godzilla) and he is so wonderful in his 40 gallon aquarium
Haha love it Colton! Thanks for the support!
Thanks!
How neat. Kuzon and the musk turtle are probably relieved lol. I've never travelled with my turtles. Well at least not across states. Just across the same city lol. Funnily enough, a tupperware dish/container is what I used too 😂 Anyways, I hope you have fun in Denver, Sol!
Welcome to Denver!
That is so cool! I just got a baby Southern Painted Turtle last week, he is so cute and I named him Henry, I also happen to be in an internship this summer, I live in Utah and I have an internship in Salt Lake for the University of Utah! Small world right?! I am moving out in a few years so this is super comforting knowing that I can take Henry with me to school. Good for you! Road Tripping is the best!
I bought an EASTERN painted turtle from the breeder but I received a Southern, He has a line down his back but he is still a beautiful painted turtle!
Thats really cool logan! I love painted turtles :)
Good luck on your new adventure 👍
thank you John!
@@TheTurtleGirl welcome 🤗
I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’m really concerned about my leopard gecko. I took her to the vet like 4 days ago because she wouldn’t eat anything and she was not acting herself. She also had just shed and it was a rough one. She had to have a lot of help getting the skin off and then still had lots of stuck shed and her skin was still dull even after I got the shed off. So when I took her to the vet she was pretty sure that it all was from a bad shed and to soak her in warm water twice a day for the next several days then gradually get down to twice a week because I live in Colorado and it gets very dry. My gecko still won’t eat but she’s drinking. She shed again and it’s been less than a week since the first shed. I will say this shed went way faster and she got all the skin off by herself, but she didn’t eat over half of it and left it in the hide. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Nice here and update of my Mississippi Map turtle Shelby. She growing and do well.
I have two questions
1.why does she dig in her rocks and knock over all her decorations?
2.why does she eat at her food that falls to the bottom when I feed her a amount for her size and do it everyday enough.she always seems hungry and I want to know why?
Thanks 😊
Digging and knocking over everything is just normal for turtles. A sand bodem is way better then rocks for your water qwuality tho. And they can dig better in it.also way more natural for them.
@@thecrazycarchannel709 oh ok what sand would I get is it at pet stores
Turtles seem to have bottomless stomachs sometimes lol - you could feed a little bit more, but really its just good to stick to a schedule :)
That’s amazing camera work
Thanks matthew!
I love your videos
thank you!
I thought I was the only one who took reptiles with me, when I go to Mexico, (from Houston Texans to San Luis) I usually take a small tank with rocks and low water levels to at least keep them from drowning, it’s usually a 10 - 20 hour ride, after I arrive, I se up a place for them that is much bigger, I stayed at Mexico GOR 2 weeks and my turtles are doing fine… well one of them since another one annoys the other, then when I come back, I put them in a much bigger tank, I was looking forward to go to pet smart or online shop for high rating equipment, but that’s when I get a bigger tank, my recent tank I got them was big but not enough to fit a basking erea or heater so that’s why I’m looking forward to get i big tank, I think I have maybe 100 dollars to buy the tank and equipment, all I need to do is return a heater that I just got because it never turned on, I think pet smart would be better than pet co, the one who sold my bad heater
I live in the town right next to John Day!
This vlog was soooo cool!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I was wondering if It were be better to get a musk turtle or to get a leopard gecko? And don't worry, ive done LOTS of research on both! 😁
Thanks!! It really depends what you’re looking for…i would say musk turtles are more fun to watch, but leopard geckos are better for handling and super fun to feed. Really just different animals - hey but maybe I could do a matchup video for pets vs different kind of pets!
Ooo that would be such a cool video!! ❤ And thank you for your feedback!!
I'm in Colorado Springs...I think there is a expo coming up close to Denver next weekend if you're interested
Ooooh good to know!! I may have to show up!
Are turtles equally Aquatic and equally land? Cuz I am building an outdoor enclosure for my red-eared slider, and I'm just wondering if I should make land equally as big as the aquatic space.grate videos I always love watching your videos🐢😃
We just inherited a mud turtle a couple of days ago & have a week long trip to my sisters house. We are bringing the turtle with. What type of temp setup should I go with? Does he need ALL the things for a week? I’m assuming so.. travel tank, food, and what else? Is he okay without lighting for a week? Thank you for all the videos! I have watched so many and learned so much in the last 24 hours from you! ❤
Nice! Welcome to Colorado! ~ A Coloradan
💚💚
Wow congrats homie 😎
Thank u cory!
just a quick question. I also have a leopard gecko but he has stuck shed on his toes how do i get rid of it?
I brought my baby turtle to florida for a few days and im glad im not the only one who travels with their turtle sometimes😅
Yup! Its doable for short trips!
@@TheTurtleGirl im about to cry that you responded😭❤️❤️❤️Your my fav youtuber!
Shoutout to the ppl in Oregon
I love u oregon!!
Hi HI! i'm in need of ALOT of help right now and google isn't really helping me rn so yeah I could really use some advice right now.
I've been seeing that my turtle's feces are a really dark green/black colour and I've now noticed these tiny red balls floating around in her water. I'm thinking its bladder stones but I'm really not sure and I'm so worried. I've had her for a little less than a year now and she has already had a respiratory problem I'm starting to think I'm doing a terrible job at this turtle parenting thing- I'm unable to make a vet appointment at the moment due to exams so what should I do in the mean time??? she's eating normally and hasn't had a change in behaviour or anything. She's still getting over the respiratory infection so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with that because I'm not seeing any yt videos anywhere on this and I'm just so scared. Can someone help please. Thank You
My mom buyd a turtel a long time ago but haven't much space but she has the turtle in a gold fish tank and no filter and no basking aria but do you have any tips
What would be the best starter reptile? I am considering a tortoise but I'm not sure that would be the best since its a lifelong commitment (or close to it). I am ALSO considering a musk turtle since they are small and don't need MASSIVE tanks. I also want a small mammal but its pretty hard to determine which I want. If anyone has any advice it'd be greatly appreciated.
Most reptiles live for a long time but, any reptile can be a starter just do planter of research from plenty of sources (TikTok, TH-cam, Reddit…) I have had a musk turtle they are very easy to care for if you do some research and also have a leopard same situation really comes down to personal preference
i dont know why but i feel bad for the musk turtle :( he must be so stressed in there
hi turtle girl! i fear my 3yo res is gravid, but would it be possible to dm you to confirm if her actions line up w this suspicion? ijust adopted her from my friend who hasn’t undergone nesting season yet and need help as a major beginner. thank you in advance!
I will be moving about 2,700 miles in a few weeks and I have a red-eared slider. Any tips on how to travel with him? It it isn't safe we have to find him a new home.
Hi Turtle Girl
Congrats on your adventures in Colorado. I have a question for your turtle experience. I woke up to a horror flick in my painted turtles 90 gallon aquarium. The night heat bulb for my turtle shattered and pieces were on the basking ramp and in the aquarium!!! I quickly removed our beloved four legged family member into a holding tank so I could clean her aquarium and basking platform and ramp, took the shattered bulb clip bulb holder back to the pet store and they promptly refunded money. Luckily it is summer and the turtle probably does not need a heat source at night...maybe... But this winter my 8 inch painter turtle will need a shatterproof heat source! the day UVA/UVB bulbs and day lamp come in shatterproof but night bulbs do not at the pet store. Do you have any suggestions because I live in a place where our winters are 30 below and I heat the air on the basking platform all winter and Spring.
Thank you
Oh no!!! Thats super scary. Glad the turtle is doing ok.
To be honest with you, I wouldn’t worry about night heat. Its natural for the temperature to drop over the evening. If you really just want something to keep up background heat because it gets too cold, look into ceramic heat emitters :) best of luck!
Thank you turtle girl!
Hey! Thanks for featuring my comment in the other video I was SOO surprised! Anyway, I'm into axolotls and I got one for my bday in march. So I have kept him and his tank (with sand) smells SO bad. We cleaned, it, emptied the sand and its still bad. He's living in a bowl temporarily. How does ur sand NOT smell?
Once the tank is cycled you shouldn’t worry about this. Please get a large tub for him and some type of air pump in the water. If you feed your axolotl pellets it can make the water smell for a few hours until the filter cleans it all out. The other reason could be your filter. With axolotls you should have a huge filter. Like if you have a 20 gallon long get a filter for a 40 gallon. Hope this helped.
Hey thanks
Hmmm…well for one, try to avoid 100% water changes as you’re basically just resetting the cycle. Like the other commenter said, have a powerful filter, stay on top of water changes and maybe even spot clean every time you see poop!
@@TheTurtleGirl ok thanks
I got a question if I leaving my turtles at home with no light on what can happen
If it is like a day they will be fine but if it is for an extended period of time they will get bad shell rot or desieses
Yup! A day or two isn’t a problem, but extended periods can be very detrimental
Is the music in the background by Boy Pablo?
I have a question? I’m getting a leopard gecko 🦎 and I’m getting the lights you have! Should I still use a heating mat?
They need a warm hide, cool hide and moist hide. So yes
Ahh yes, I already order all of that
Yes! I would still use a heating mat. See my video from a few weeks back about trying to use a heat lamp :)
TYSM!
U Could upgrade Ur geckos setup That would be fun❤
good luck with the internship.
You could have probably used hoku's old 29 gallon tank for your musk turtle lol
Haha yeah but could only fit so much in the car xD
Sweet daddy!
He’s the best :)
I moved across the country with 8 turtles,its not that bad
Yeah its not! Hopefully this helps demystify it a bit :)
What is your internship for? Great video by the way
Thanks indy! Its for film!
@@TheTurtleGirl That's awesome I hope you're really enjoying the opportunity
I'm nervous when it comes to moving and moving these tanks and animals
Its a lil stressful but there are things you can do to minimize it for both yourself and the animal! :D
Wat will happen to mochi
America. o__o I don't know how you could possibly drive in a car for 10 whole hours. And that was only one of the days!
haha yup! I love a good road trip though :D
What sort of internship?
For video production/film!
@@TheTurtleGirl Cool!
Dude! Im going to be in Denver in July, wanna grab coffee? (If ya don’t ask the answer is no anyway lol)
Lol
Are you excited to go
Very!!
That’s good whatever makes you happy
Did this make anyone else sad? It made me sad. I don't know why.
