Hey ! Love your videos !!! By any chance will you be restocking the turtle basket 5000 and 4000 on your Etsy shop anytime soon? I’ve had my turtle for 15 years and struggle so much finding a good basking area for her !! I would totally buy !
I'm looking to do a new set up for my slider and he has outgrown the tank he is now. I have a pond outside, but I want to do one for him so that way I can cover it and know he won't get out. But I don't have a lot of money to spend on it. I keep going back and forth on either upgrading the tank or doing something like this for summer. When winter hits though then he has to come in. Any suggestions
Should the temp of the water be checked before putting the turtle in? I'm always so worried they may go into shock if water is too cold when you first put them in there?! 🤔
Happiest turtles on the block I’m sure! Nice project and video! LLYT rocks!
Thanks Dr. Strong!
Turned Out Awesome!🐢
Thank you! :)
I would add some mosquito fish….they are fast enough….I have them with my outdoor turtle tub…I just put plants…for the fish to hide and dart in
Nice setup. Just one thing about the 2700gph pump. Seems to me that it should have some sort of a mesh bag around it that serves a a pre-filter?
Great idea! I have noticed some gunk getting stuck in the housing that I have to clean out periodically.
Feeder guppies work too
Very nice
Very creative and hard work!
Thank you! Cheers!

Yes! Should be restocked early next week (8/7/2023). Keep an eye out!
What are you going to do about mosquitos and their larvae?
With the fountain the water’s surface is agitated so mosquitoes do not lay. The turtles would take care of it otherwise haha.
Love this setup. What is the name of your basking platform? I cant find it online
Thanks! This is the Zoo Med Floating Dock for ponds: amzn.to/3RWVEJY

In the grand scheme of things this was pretty cheap for a 400 gallon turtle pond.

Yes, always check you water temps!
