Rule #1 of Turtle Care: Everything you've learned about turtles being slow and cumbersome? Unlearn that. These ninjas aren't playing if they can climb it they WILL climb it!
In my neighborhood theres terrapins that live here and we build fences around there eggs and a group comes to monitor and track them . The one we most commently see is nubs (she has 4 legs but only three feet so we call her nubs)
That was so fun to watch. I’m so glad you put in the time stamp to skip . I just can’t watch that stuff. Even in movies. If there is a scene with an animal being hurt I leave the room. My family will say mom don’t look. So I leave until they yell “ it’s over!” So that is so very much appreciated! I love the drawn face on the axolotl and🤣😂🤣✌🏻💖
Hello from Olympia Washington you've inspired me to go to the next reptile show in Puyallup on December 11 and I'm super excited to see if they have diamondback terrapins cause there honestly beautiful turtles
I got called out on a Facebook page for my baby Eastern musk turtle. (He was the size of a penny when we bought him) I was asked not to post pictures of "illegal" turtles on the page. I called Fish and wildlife and another number that they gave me (can't remember what it was called). Both locations told me, that they weren't really sure if the under 4 inches applies to buying or just to selling. You can't sell them in West Virginia but no one seems to know if you can own them. The law is very non specific in this state.
My state says a non breeder is only allowed to sell turtles over 4 inches, but captive breeders are allowed to sell under 4 inches with the correct paperwork
My friend is gifting me a turtle that they picked up from Florida as a baby. She can’t take care of it and knows I am a fiend for reptiles and inverts so she’s handing it over to me. I live in Maine and laws are confusing about this species of turtle. It’s a yellow bellied slider. Red eared sliders are illegal to own with and without a persons they’re all sorts of banned from being kept in captivity because they’re highly invasive. However… there are no laws about yellow bellied sliders in captivity in Maine that I have found and the state website doesn’t say anything about yellow bellied sliders. Woot woot.
My turtle is also illegal. American turtles were banned in Europe since 2018 and i just never knew it. For people that already had it you simply had to file a notice and make sure it doesn’t escape, reproduce, and don’t dispose of it by freeing them in local lakes.
You aren't wrong to call the tortoise a turtle!!! Tortoises are a type of turtle!!! This is coming from someone whose taken zoology and had confirmed this. 😂🐢
Well i live in maryland, and it states i cannot have an eastern painted turtle (even captive bred) that you can buy without a permit if you bought within the state. BUT it did not say i could buy an eastern painted out of state and have it shipped here. So me being a good boy not wanting to break any law but not have a permit took a little detour
QUESTION! I have a 20 gallon tank not filled up at maybe 3/4th of the way and i was wondering if i could get a canister filter and what you guys would suggest? I would rather just put the money to something that is gonna last..THANK YOU!
I love turtles ❤ I have one who is rlly sick sadly I didn't know and got him without research He has bleeding and infections doesn't eat anything and we don't even have a vet in our country too I just hope that I will be able to cure him
Great video! oh and i have a question, if your ok with making a video about how much water cleanser to put in your turtles water for a 25 gal and more. I'm pretty sure i have looked through all your videos and i remember in one of your videos you talking about what type of water to put in your turtle tank, but you not explaining how much cleanser.
NC here your not allowed to own red eared sliders anymore an pretty sure most any turtle you can apply for a permit if you owned the turtle before a certain year but have to provide proof as well.
I really enjoy your videos, they are fun to watch. I look forward to seeing the 4 inch rule video. Perhaps you can elaborate on the whole salmonella debate.
hello I'm just wondering if a 20gallon tank would be big enough for a MACLEAY RIVER TURTLE for like a few years then to be moved into a turtle tub. (I live in Australia and you can only get native species as pets and the turtle I have chosen is the smallest native one) I would have gotten like 2 musk turtles but this ones very cute to :). if you don't know that's completely fine don't go and look it up I'm just wondering.
Sorry, I don't know much about river turtles! When it comes to tank size, I always suggest about 10 gallons for every inch of the length of the shell...more is almost always better, provided you have lots of decorations and hiding spots :)
A musk turtles are great, low maintenance, cute, and small so that’s why I got a razor back musk turtle I would recommend one (P.S idk if they could live in the UK I live in Utah so you should do some research on that.Also I hope you love whatever turtle you get😄 and be aware that they don’t really swim and they should only be in 4-6 inches (10.16-15.24 centimeters) They just go chill at the bottom of rivers in the wild)
I just took in a rescue baby red sliding and I have a really lice setup for my 4 year old one. I want to try putting them together eventually, how long should I wait?
I had a baby eastern painted turtle smaller than that guy on a black egg crate basking area WITH no lid. Little guy didn’t have the strength to pull himself up or the correct coordination. Def was staged. At least in my opinion. Btw my baby painted is now like a big boy
Hello the turtle girl! My turtle won’t eat, and I checked his environment and he doesn’t seem to be sick. It’s almost winter and I think it’s hibernation but I’m not sure… What should I do?
I’ve had my turtles for maybe two weeks now and they’re yellow belly riders their babies and stuff they don’t like me still they just don’t they just they just go run away and hide So do you have any tips
When you first get them they can be a little stressed and need time to adapt to their new environment. Just give them time to settle in, make sure they have lots of hiding places. Best of luck!
Hi Turtle Girl,my girlfriend has a Red ear slider turtle and I'm not sure whats going on but his skin has been peeling for 6 weeks so far do you have any idea what wrong whit him,And she replaced his tank from a 20 gallons to a 40 gallons
11:40 turtle is a generalization it includes tortoises and terrapins (terrapins are aquatic turtles like red eared sliders and musk turtles but also loggerhead sea turtles and a whole load more species that I didn’t name)so you’re technically not wrong
Preventing families from buying a hazard for young children is a good reason for a law. People would suffer if there was no such law. Less people suffer if it’s followed. It’s actually good!
@@rogeliorodriguez8518 than there should be a law for all animals , no breeds of dogs that bite or have bitten ever. Just go down the whole line of anyone that got hurt by any type of animal and no longer allow them. But, you can have a predator ,thief, murderer, pedophile, drug addicts anyone live in the house right next to you. Just not a baby turtle. If they wanted to make it a law the law should say if you have a child under 16 you can not own a baby turtle.
@@TheTurtleGirl yes I think it could shed some light on how harmless it is to own a baby turtle. It's the parents responsibility to watch over their babies- children. A child can get hurt when you own ANY PET. They pull a dog's tail and it could turn and snap at the child. Be responsible for what you choose to bring in your home. How many times do you think a child put a turtle in their mouth? How many more were bitten by their own dogs?
@@TheTurtleGirl I am having a terrible time trying finding a diamondback Terrapin turtle for sale. I got everything set to own one. Did you end up getting another one from Dan Dan the turtle man? I saw the video he offered you your choice. I've been waiting to see it in your videos.😊🐢

I'm pretty sure i have looked through all your videos and i remember in one of your videos you talking about what type of water to put in your turtle tank, but you not explaining how much cleanser.
It's just whatever dosage the bottle says. I think you mean water conditioner?
@@TheTurtleGirl oh ok im sorry,😂
What do you recommend me getting for my water conditioner? bc i now some can be harmful.

People with egg crates just use plexi glass on on the inside to keep them from climbing

gonna upgrade my tank soon 4 red slider turtles I think
the seller said Japanese turtles so yes
Do you know if your legally allowed to own a western painted turtle and in what states you are not allowed??
how come I have 5 turtles in a 150 gallon tank and they have never sighted they actually play with each other

Also also is a 30 gallon ok because fish I just spent $75 for 30 gallon and yeah
Im thinking about getting a turtle for christmas what turtle would you recommend ( I live in the UK so red eared sliders are off the list) Thanks
Get a musk turtle or a map turtle!

conjoined twins, not siamese twins. it used to be called siamese twins.
ahhhh I see, excuse my wording :) thanks for the correction!
It almost looks like the terrapins at 7:55 were painted blue or something :(
I think that it's just be a digital filter on the video! Doubt that they were actually painted...otherwise that would be very cruel.
Fairly certain Terrapins are brackish
in the wild they certainly are! however in captivity, depending on the breeder, they may have been born and raised in fresh.
