@SmoovCat yesss I love that they live for many years!!🥰 there’s the thing tho I hope I’m doing things right. I’m a first time turtle owner and didn’t know anything about how to care for one I’ve been investing all there is to know since I got my sweet Leonardo 🐢❤️
That’s a cute little poem! It’s going to stick in my head! I’ll say it about my turtles! I’m not first I’m not last But when the food drops in I sure swim fast!
To build on what she said, I still have the red-eared sliders I got in 1994. I love my turtles, but often don't recommend them as pets for your kids unless you're willing to own them yourself.
We've had red eared sliders since I was 4. We started with two, but one passed away a year ago. My parents neglect the one we have left, and now that I am an adult, I have decided to take his care into my own hands. This video was very helpful, and I can't thank you enough :)
I'm so happy I found you, Turtle Girl! My cat found a baby slider (2" long) in our screened in pool patio. Don't know how he got there. That was 5 years ago. "Ninja" is now 7" long & we are on our 4th tank. He loves his 70 gallon tank. He's super sociable & comes to the glass to greet our family & friends. But I feel he & I have a special connection😊 My husband & I are 75, so we have willed him to my son. Thanks for your great videos!❤
We got our red ear slider at petco and my husband had a painted turtle when we got married so we knew the just of taking care of them our red ear slider (Gizmo) lol begs and comes to me when I have food he allows me to hold him And pet his head and under his neck my husband however he opens his mouth hisses at my husband 😂 we love our little guy! Love all of your videos!!!
I have two males together for 7 years never attacked eachother. I just witnessed an accidental snap at the others front foot only once while feeding. They love eachother and sometimes do a red ear slider dance with eachother.
Omg mine too except I think mine’s a female and male ( idk their a baby but the breeder said that but now I think they are same gender) and they do the same thing
@@kfc_heroes Can’t tell until they mature. I bought my boys as “mix hatchlings” but ended up with two males. Males do it with each other to assert dominance. Usually the bigger guy wins as default.
Yes mine go face to face and do this thing with their hands. Like dancing … it’s great to watch. I video it all the time like what are they doing??? It’s like 5 very fast up and down waves then lift their arms and repeat. Wish I could upload the video of them here.
My wife recently came home with two red eared slider hatchlings to surprise our kids. A very sweet surprise, but unfortunately no idea what she got us into when getting them. Either way, they're home now and I'm doing as much research I can to make sure we can take care of them. Although this video is a couple years old, it's been a huge help. I just didn't realize the scale of what's needed to take care of these animals.... and we have two. Need to figure out spacing for either two tanks, or one huge one. Especially after finding out the sex of both of them. Everyone, wish me luck!
This was a very helpful video. I bought a small aquarium (10 gallon) from Facebook market yesterday and saw a slider (about 6-8 inches) being kept in another 10 gallon. I had an empty 55 at home and offered to take the turtle off their hands.
I was supposed to be “turtle sitting” a slider for two weeks, ended up keeping her, knowing NOTHING about turtles, I quickly realized she had shell rot, was in a 20 gallon tank that was WAY too small for her, couldn’t fit on her basking area… now I have a slider because I refused to give her back. Now she has a much much bigger tank, a proper basking area, proper food, and the shell rot is treated. Thank you for your page!!
thanks for the great playlist! I have learned so much from watching your videos The Turtle Girl! i was just told that i can get a Turtle! just have to do my research on the turtle and save up now!
I got surprised with a baby red eared slider yesterday and this information helped a lot thank you. Also it's hysterical seeing a little hatchling in a 20 gallon tank lmfao.
This was so helpfull thanks! Do I still need to feed my turtles if they are begging for food even after I just fed them? They give me the idea that im underfeeding them😂 pls help! 🤣
You forgot to mention in your basking section, that they must have artificial sunlight bulbs(full uva/uvb rays) for the health of the turtle...very important!
Around 6:35 seconds in she talks about it. And you do want both one heats the other helps them see and gives keeps their shells healthy. In a short way to say it.
My red ear slider should be 22 years old. I would advise ppl to reconsider getting one. I have not met another person that keeps their turtle for so long. Most end up dumping them in lakes and ponds illegally
Your turtle is very lucky. I think people should truely take this into consideration, and unfortunetly they dont. I read somewhere that the average life of a pet turtle is only 2.5 years. Mine are older than that and very very spoiled. But so many turts dont get a home like that. Its not ok. Thanks for your post, I think it was helpful.
I rescued my painted turtle 6 years ago. I was raking my lawn and what felt like a stone hit my leg, I looked down to see a little turtle the size of a quarter upside down on his back. It was late in the fall and was close to snowing and I was concerned when I was 14 that he was gonna die, so he became my turtle. His name is Arty.
Watching this cause my mom foolishly bought a turtle for my sister,and as A older brother who doesnt want my sister sad I am learning to keep it best So thank you Im trying my best
I got a turtle kit and the person selling his turtle will most likely give me the stuff for it because hes selling it because hes going to university and doesnt want to take it
Thank you Teacher #TurtleGirl . You are Assume ! My Turtle is Shellie 12yrs old , 10 inches red ear 80 gal tank be mostly free roam in my Home & yard .
hi I’ve had two sliders for about 6 months and I’ve been trying to do research on proper care but it seems every where i go to look someone tells me something different and i can’t get a solid how to on how to take care of these turtles they are driving me crazy with the smell and i just can’t seem to do the right research. sorry this is so scrambled i’m in a bit of a panic right now and hoping you can help.
Have had my Eastern Painter Speedy for 30 years. Definitely didnt know much about them at 5 yrs old. Been in small tanks with not enough water or even light. Ive since learned a lot and amd in the process of redoing the tank yet again. I know it may have been rough but he's still kickin . I would love to know how old he really is.
Hey I dont know what to do my turtle (a yellow belly still small turtle) imight have shell rot, well I've never seen shell rot before but his shell is not black anymore in spots but white like he lost his shell skin and that part is thin compared to the rest it's the part next to the head it's really worrying me but my parents dont care help. I know somthing is wrong!
please answer pls- are there different care types for the different painted turtles? like for eastern painted turtle u need different care tips and for wester u need other care tips or all are same?
Good job with the video! Had my turtle for over 15 years. Although... she destroyed nearly ALL of my fish. Including cichlids and super fast smaller fish. Pleco was the only one that lasted 10 years in the tank with her but he had a stressful life.
Hi How often do you - A. change water in % B. Clean filter C. Clean / change filter media Any water conditioners you use maintaining optimum water conditions. If not, then how do you maintain optimum water conditions
I am SO glad I came across your channel. I have spent all day and night doing research on my little red-eared slider and this has helped me so much. I feel much more confident in caring for her, and the turtle kit was also very helpful. Thank you very much!
Umm so I got a red slider yesterday and it was crossing a road and I took him in and idk much but I put him in a big bucket filled wit a lot water to swim around and tried feeding him lettuce and let him free in my backyard while keeping a eye on him, but today I need help or need more tips Bc idk a lot about red sliders and I wanna try to keep him as a pet and also know more about how to take care of them and I’m only 16 so I’m kinda on a budget but my parents are willing to help me Bc they were the ones to let me take him in. Dm me on Instagram @zephaniah_amosa
If its really warm outside you can do that, but I recommend still getting a heating bulb since its cold in winter and its always letting your turtle do it willingly, I'm not an expert but I'm confident in my answer.
The lake in the middle of my neighborhood is full of painted turtles and snappers...been catching them for almost 40yrs...as a kid I’d catch them as babies, keep them a couple weeks to learn about them, then set them free...I have one named Sampson that I found injured on the rd when he was a baby...he’s now 30yrs old and going strong
I know this is an older video, but I figured it was the best one to ask my question. I’ve had my res for about 3 1/2 months and I’ve been feeding him in the tank. However, I’d like to start feeding him outside of the aquarium. I tried once and he wouldn’t eat. Is it too late? If not, do you have any suggestions?
I'd say it's never too late. It just takes time, patience, and sometimes a little bribery (worms or dried shrimp) or trickery (scented pellets with tuna water) ;)
My turtle has not basked for 6 months but I set up a camera in the room last week and I realised how much they spent their time basking 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
I just got a eastern painted turtle like a week ago and he’s just chill as hell and barely moves a lot but he’s cool! I’m scared I’ll be bad at keeping em healthy and enjoying his life.
Yeah I thought my light was too close to my turtle and I moved his Rock like 3 in away from it and next thing I know I hear a clicking sound and he pushed his RockAuto way back from where I moved it and gave me a look like don't ever touch my stuff again
I've had my red ear slider Jeffy since he was a hatchling (I was about 9 years old when I got him) and he's currently 24 years old. We grew up together and I couldn't ask for a better pet.
i was at a covered bridge in New Hampshire, and a couple red eared were sitting on a rock sun bathing. I had seen them at the pet store but never in a river
If it was a pair of red eared sliders--there are a bunch of turtles in the northeast that can look pretty similar--they're invasive and drive out native species by taking habitat and food. Probably originated from someone not wanting their pet turtle anymore. It's really unfortunate. :(
Hi, I have a baby red eared slider he's about 6 months old, and his shell turns white as soon as he's out of the water even for 1 minute I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to stop this?.. bcs I'm worried he might be sick i searched on google and youtube but I couldn't find anything..
My baby red eared slider is Constantly begging for food and turns away from one pellet but eat the same type of pellet in a different spot of his tank ,but he totally melts my heart because he is adorable
How long can baby painted turtles hold their breath underwater? I just rescued a painted turtle hatchling from baking in the sun with no water but when it is underwater sleeping it really scares me that it is dead.
I must found a baby red eared slider. What do I do now? Ive been watching TH-cam all day and trying to research but idk what's right. Any advise and helpful tips for exactly what I should do! Should I make an outside enclosure I have room? Idk what to feed a baby turtle!
why is she talking about TANK size? indeed she might be talking about POND size huh but you can have them in tank- oh cmon these animals live in pond o lakes not in glass sguare if you wana learn about it look at DanTheTurtleMan he has a very good content- have a nice day:)
hey! Dan definitely has a great channel! However, for some people it's not always possible to keep them outdoors in ponds and some prefer the look of a tank, even if indoor stock tanks/tubs are an option. That's why I suggest making it as natural as possible. In any case, the enclosure needs to be appropriately sized :) People commonly keep them in tanks, and won't stop regardless of what I say, so might as well give the information to make it work and provide the best husbandry they can ;) Thanks for the comment!
So for some reason l think my turtle hates water and that's why we didn't have him in a tank we put him in this container with water but really shallow water that half of his body is out of it for three years mabye how do you think l should act about that? Should l transfer him to a tank and slowly increase the depth of the water and we didn't have a basking area but we take him out so he could walk around the house
Hello, i wanna ask, my turtle is new so i dont know much of what was his life before, he is a small one, but he s not swimming and its not moving , he doesnot open his eyes , he doesnt eat, he doesn't eat his food i bought , no vegetables nothing at all, i made for him a carrot soak , he opened one eye but the other he is not opening it , im afraid he is dying , im keeping his water clean and heated , what should i do
You can use dechlorinator to remove harmful chemicals from tap water. Only reason I haven't made a video yet is because recently some studies came out saying that there are potentially harmful things in water conditioner that could bs unhealthy for turtles and I'm not sure how true it is, but I wouldn't want to promote dechlorinator and then find it could be harmful.
I get clean water of a water well where u fill up a 5 Gallon jug and use that. That water is clear clean try that I have 2 5 gallons and fill up a 20 gallon so I make 2 trips
The Turtle Girl another method of dechlorinating Water is the off gassing method! 24 hours in a separate container with the biggest air stone you can get in the bottom of the container! The air stone creates more surface agitation increasing the gas exchange and removing the chlorine in the process! I know several large scale fish keepers who use this method to remove chlorine instead of chemical dechlorinater.
I really wish more people would watch these videos before getting any kind of pet. I used to have 2 sliders, male and female, but we had to give them to my mom's sister since we had to move and couldn't keep them. That happened about 4 years ago. I visited her the other day and I was horrified. She keeps them in a small tub that's basically twice the size of the big female. They have literally nothing in it except for some filthy, shallow water. Not even a basking light, and they're only being fed dry shrimp. She put them in the balcony, where she and her husband usually smoke, besides the fact that it's pretty cold outside. I'm trying to convince my mom to get them back, but that might take a while.
Thank you for this I'm going to fig deeper I just got a rescue slider, mine ate greens we gave him. He is doing good and this video completely helped us out
QUESTION: Eastern Painted Turtles are known for lasting very well on winter water conditions, if that is the case why should we put a heater in their water ?
I know this is from two years ago but for anyone wondering, it’s to keep the water at a regulated temperature. Without one the water can be too cold for them.
Hey, I'm thinking of buying one! And I have some questions that need answered. What kind of filter do u recommend if I'm on a budget? And if I get a turtle at the hatchling stage how long can they live in a 10 gallon tank?, and btw I'm talking about the slider
Fiona Yang females have a flat or slightly bulging outwards stomachs. Males have a more bulged inward stomachs. This is so that the males can mount on top of the females for mating (:
You’re awesome, thank you! We’re babysitting but wanted to make sure we did everything right and now we’re considering adopting a rescue turtle (is that a thing?). Anyway, great work and thank you!
I've had 2 males were given to me as babies for 15 years. I kept them together for over ten years before I saw any aggressive behavior toward each other. I watched it escalate over the next few years, but was reluctant to separate them because they've always known each other, and not much else... One day I watched one take a chunk out of the other's neck. I separated them immediately and never put them back together. Luckily it wasn't too deep and he was able to heal from it, I'm so grateful it wasn't more serious.
Thank you for this video so much and the pinned comment I'm getting a red eared slider turtle soon 👍 🐢 and now I can be prepared for his care. Thanks a lot! 🥺 🙏.
do you have anywhere that you could recommend that sells affordable but plenty big enough turtle tanks because some that I'm looking at are very expensive and I definitely wouldn't be able to afford but I've been doing a lot of research and I'm ready for a turtle, but the tanks are so expensive it might be a deal breaker :(

I'm so happy I found you, Turtle Girl! My cat found a baby slider (2" long) in our screened in pool patio. Don't know how he got there. That was 5 years ago. "Ninja" is now 7" long & we are on our 4th tank. He loves his 70 gallon tank. He's super sociable & comes to the glass to greet our family & friends. But I feel he & I have a special connection😊 My husband & I are 75, so we have willed him to my son. Thanks for your great videos!❤
We got our red ear slider at petco and my husband had a painted turtle when we got married so we knew the just of taking care of them our red ear slider (Gizmo) lol begs and comes to me when I have food he allows me to hold him And pet his head and under his neck my husband however he opens his mouth hisses at my husband 😂 we love our little guy! Love all of your videos!!!
I just rescued a baby red eared slider from my pool and asked my friend to look for a video, this was really helpful, thank God she found it
I have two males together for 7 years never attacked eachother. I just witnessed an accidental snap at the others front foot only once while feeding. They love eachother and sometimes do a red ear slider dance with eachother.
Oh brilliant, brilliant
Omg mine too except I think mine’s a female and male ( idk their a baby but the breeder said that but now I think they are same gender) and they do the same thing
@@kfc_heroes Can’t tell until they mature. I bought my boys as “mix hatchlings” but ended up with two males. Males do it with each other to assert dominance. Usually the bigger guy wins as default.
@@j6302 oh ok thank you for the info!
Yes mine go face to face and do this thing with their hands. Like dancing … it’s great to watch. I video it all the time like what are they doing??? It’s like 5 very fast up and down waves then lift their arms and repeat. Wish I could upload the video of them here.
My wife recently came home with two red eared slider hatchlings to surprise our kids. A very sweet surprise, but unfortunately no idea what she got us into when getting them. Either way, they're home now and I'm doing as much research I can to make sure we can take care of them. Although this video is a couple years old, it's been a huge help. I just didn't realize the scale of what's needed to take care of these animals.... and we have two. Need to figure out spacing for either two tanks, or one huge one. Especially after finding out the sex of both of them. Everyone, wish me luck!
just got my southern painted turtle!! your videos really helped me give it the best life possible haha 💞
Happy to hear that :)
That’s my favorite turtle
Nikki Rose same
You’re so unproblematic, I love it
This was a very helpful video. I bought a small aquarium (10 gallon) from Facebook market yesterday and saw a slider (about 6-8 inches) being kept in another 10 gallon. I had an empty 55 at home and offered to take the turtle off their hands.
I was supposed to be “turtle sitting” a slider for two weeks, ended up keeping her, knowing NOTHING about turtles, I quickly realized she had shell rot, was in a 20 gallon tank that was WAY too small for her, couldn’t fit on her basking area… now I have a slider because I refused to give her back. Now she has a much much bigger tank, a proper basking area, proper food, and the shell rot is treated. Thank you for your page!!
Yay!!!
You’re so helpful turtle girl 🎉 thanks !
I just got a Yellow-Bellied Slider. I’m so obsessed, I rush home everyday ☺️🎉
Mr. Tut 🐢 🥰
thanks for the great playlist! I have learned so much from watching your videos The Turtle Girl! i was just told that i can get a Turtle! just have to do my research on the turtle and save up now!
I got surprised with a baby red eared slider yesterday and this information helped a lot thank you. Also it's hysterical seeing a little hatchling in a 20 gallon tank lmfao.
My bf went “she needs all this water ? Are u sure “ 😆
I have a yellow bellied slider and eastern painted turtle, so this is a helpful video!
This was so helpfull thanks!
Do I still need to feed my turtles if they are begging for food even after I just fed them? They give me the idea that im underfeeding them😂 pls help! 🤣
HC I’m not so sure you probably have figured it out by now but they need enough food to live but not so much
Sloth Show Yes! I sold them😳😂
You forgot to mention in your basking section, that they must have artificial sunlight bulbs(full uva/uvb rays) for the health of the turtle...very important!
CanDIEland I thought she did say “Use UVB and heat bulbs”. Not trying to be rude, just curious, is there a difference?
@@mxdelyn1353 no its the same you just need a heat/basking and a uvb lamp :)
:P ok thanks! do you know if theres a difference between uva/uvb? do you need both?
Dandy Gamer alright thanks! i think i have a heat and uvb in my turtle tank
Around 6:35 seconds in she talks about it. And you do want both one heats the other helps them see and gives keeps their shells healthy. In a short way to say it.
Thanks I needed this video since I am going to have one soon
I just got my turtles 💀 and one of them tried to bite me 😭😂
Best fish I've kept with my RES are TIGER BARBS. Fast, reactive, relatively small and just awesome to look at too.
I was thinking of trying a school of those at some point for sure!
my turtles turn off the heater themselves 😂😂😂😂
Debra Xu 😂😂
that’s so cute
Lol
My red ear slider should be 22 years old. I would advise ppl to reconsider getting one. I have not met another person that keeps their turtle for so long. Most end up dumping them in lakes and ponds illegally
Fair point! Its a big commitment and most people don't even realize it.
Your turtle is very lucky. I think people should truely take this into consideration, and unfortunetly they dont. I read somewhere that the average life of a pet turtle is only 2.5 years. Mine are older than that and very very spoiled. But so many turts dont get a home like that. Its not ok. Thanks for your post, I think it was helpful.
I learning to have a red ear turtle named chompee
Please tell Chompee hello for me.
Great nameXD
hi, i love your content so much, i have 2 red eared sliders and your content helps me out with them.
I rescued my painted turtle 6 years ago.
I was raking my lawn and what felt like a stone hit my leg, I looked down to see a little turtle the size of a quarter upside down on his back. It was late in the fall and was close to snowing and I was concerned when I was 14 that he was gonna die, so he became my turtle.
His name is Arty.
I am actually getting a red ear slider so this is super helpful!
Good luck!
I got two yesterday and I’m very stressed and confused 😭
@@emilyzhh same im frantically searching up videos and informative blog posts
s e f i n e that was what I did as well XD good luck tho!
@@emilyzhh thanks 😭
Watching this cause my mom foolishly bought a turtle for my sister,and as A older brother who doesnt want my sister sad I am learning to keep it best
So thank you Im trying my best
I got a turtle kit and the person selling his turtle will most likely give me the stuff for it because hes selling it because hes going to university and doesnt want to take it
Thank you Teacher #TurtleGirl . You are Assume ! My Turtle is Shellie 12yrs old , 10 inches red ear 80 gal tank be mostly free roam in my Home & yard .
hi I’ve had two sliders for about 6 months and I’ve been trying to do research on proper care but it seems every where i go to look someone tells me something different and i can’t get a solid how to on how to take care of these turtles they are driving me crazy with the smell and i just can’t seem to do the right research. sorry this is so scrambled i’m in a bit of a panic right now and hoping you can help.
You’re so educational I love it, keep it up!
Can you do a care sheet on Stink pots? I have one and a video would really help with future choices
CONGRATS ON 20K!!!! They grow up so fast :,)
THANKS BUD! 🙌🏽
Have had my Eastern Painter Speedy for 30 years. Definitely didnt know much about them at 5 yrs old. Been in small tanks with not enough water or even light. Ive since learned a lot and amd in the process of redoing the tank yet again. I know it may have been rough but he's still kickin . I would love to know how old he really is.
I just got a slider turtle today! Named him Trench after my favorite TØP album. Love him so much
Hey I dont know what to do my turtle (a yellow belly still small turtle) imight have shell rot, well I've never seen shell rot before but his shell is not black anymore in spots but white like he lost his shell skin and that part is thin compared to the rest it's the part next to the head it's really worrying me but my parents dont care help. I know somthing is wrong!
please answer pls- are there different care types for the different painted turtles? like for eastern painted turtle u need different care tips and for wester u need other care tips or all are same?
I love your vids, if you do more like this, can you do a stinkpot musk? I’m looking into getting one and am anxious to get everything right.
if and when I get a stinkpot, I'd definitely consider making a guide. :)
Stinkpots are SO cute!!
Thank God for this video I just had a red eared that's missing it's two back legs dumped on me
great video, thanks
Good job with the video! Had my turtle for over 15 years. Although... she destroyed nearly ALL of my fish. Including cichlids and super fast smaller fish. Pleco was the only one that lasted 10 years in the tank with her but he had a stressful life.
Could you do a video on what algae eaters and other fish would work with turtles
Hi
How often do you -
A. change water in %
B. Clean filter
C. Clean / change filter media
Any water conditioners you use maintaining optimum water conditions. If not, then how do you maintain optimum water conditions
*me not being able to concentrate to what she's saying because my head's just thinking about how cute Hoku is while watching him swim*
he's pretty adorable!
How did u know your turtle was 10 years when you adopted it?? Pls tell how to identify the ages of hatchlings, juveniles and adults pls
I am SO glad I came across your channel. I have spent all day and night doing research on my little red-eared slider and this has helped me so much. I feel much more confident in caring for her, and the turtle kit was also very helpful. Thank you very much!
Can you do a video on African Side Neck turtles
Umm so I got a red slider yesterday and it was crossing a road and I took him in and idk much but I put him in a big bucket filled wit a lot water to swim around and tried feeding him lettuce and let him free in my backyard while keeping a eye on him, but today I need help or need more tips Bc idk a lot about red sliders and I wanna try to keep him as a pet and also know more about how to take care of them and I’m only 16 so I’m kinda on a budget but my parents are willing to help me Bc they were the ones to let me take him in.
Dm me on Instagram @zephaniah_amosa
Is it ok if instead of getting a heating lamp I just move my slider to the sun?
If its really warm outside you can do that, but I recommend still getting a heating bulb since its cold in winter and its always letting your turtle do it willingly, I'm not an expert but I'm confident in my answer.
No, it's not really okay, unfortunately.
The lake in the middle of my neighborhood is full of painted turtles and snappers...been catching them for almost 40yrs...as a kid I’d catch them as babies, keep them a couple weeks to learn about them, then set them free...I have one named Sampson that I found injured on the rd when he was a baby...he’s now 30yrs old and going strong
Do u only need uvb bulb and heat bulbs in the basking area or the whole tank if it’s for baby turtles? (Getting a southern baby turtle soon 😄😄)
My full consentration was on the turtle which is swmming in the tank😅☺
Pls do a video about to distinguish btwn male turtle and female turtle.
I know this is an older video, but I figured it was the best one to ask my question. I’ve had my res for about 3 1/2 months and I’ve been feeding him in the tank. However, I’d like to start feeding him outside of the aquarium. I tried once and he wouldn’t eat. Is it too late? If not, do you have any suggestions?
I'd say it's never too late. It just takes time, patience, and sometimes a little bribery (worms or dried shrimp) or trickery (scented pellets with tuna water) ;)
My turtle has not basked for 6 months but I set up a camera in the room last week and I realised how much they spent their time basking

My turtle makes Hissing noises when I move her to clean the tank, is that normal???
Not for me
Uhh
My male also hates to be removed from his tank.
Whenever i have enough money ill get my red eared slider freddy a 100 gallon tank
I have a red eared slider, female. THANKS
I just got a eastern painted turtle like a week ago and he’s just chill as hell and barely moves a lot but he’s cool! I’m scared I’ll be bad at keeping em healthy and enjoying his life.
Yeah I thought my light was too close to my turtle and I moved his Rock like 3 in away from it and next thing I know I hear a clicking sound and he pushed his RockAuto way back from where I moved it and gave me a look like don't ever touch my stuff again
Which turtle would be best for a beginner like me
Which painted turtle do u have? Eastern?
I've had my red ear slider Jeffy since he was a hatchling (I was about 9 years old when I got him) and he's currently 24 years old. We grew up together and I couldn't ask for a better pet.
i was at a covered bridge in New Hampshire, and a couple red eared were sitting on a rock sun bathing. I had seen them at the pet store but never in a river
If it was a pair of red eared sliders--there are a bunch of turtles in the northeast that can look pretty similar--they're invasive and drive out native species by taking habitat and food. Probably originated from someone not wanting their pet turtle anymore. It's really unfortunate. :(
My red ear slider is pretty much asking everything I eat😂...he is too cute
Hi, I have a baby red eared slider he's about 6 months old, and his shell turns white as soon as he's out of the water even for 1 minute I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to stop this?.. bcs I'm worried he might be sick i searched on google and youtube but I couldn't find anything..
How to tell what age is turtle?
Does anyone know how to keep a yellow belly slider and a red ear slider together without them attacking one another
Hayden Cooper separate tanks or a divider in between
Daniel Jordan thanks 🙏
My baby red eared slider is Constantly begging for food and turns away from one pellet but eat the same type of pellet in a different spot of his tank ,but he totally melts my heart because he is adorable
How long can baby painted turtles hold their breath underwater? I just rescued a painted turtle hatchling from baking in the sun with no water but when it is underwater sleeping it really scares me that it is dead.
I must found a baby red eared slider. What do I do now? Ive been watching TH-cam all day and trying to research but idk what's right. Any advise and helpful tips for exactly what I should do!
Should I make an outside enclosure I have room?
Idk what to feed a baby turtle!
why is she talking about TANK size? indeed she might be talking about POND size huh
but you can have them in tank- oh cmon these animals live in pond o lakes not in glass sguare
if you wana learn about it look at DanTheTurtleMan he has a very good content- have a nice day:)
hey! Dan definitely has a great channel! However, for some people it's not always possible to keep them outdoors in ponds and some prefer the look of a tank, even if indoor stock tanks/tubs are an option. That's why I suggest making it as natural as possible. In any case, the enclosure needs to be appropriately sized :) People commonly keep them in tanks, and won't stop regardless of what I say, so might as well give the information to make it work and provide the best husbandry they can ;) Thanks for the comment!
Turtles are on my top 3 cutest animals of all time. Red eared sliders specifically. They are SO social, SO sweet, playful, curious, funny, and pretty.
Are you able to hold them?
So for some reason l think my turtle hates water and that's why we didn't have him in a tank we put him in this container with water but really shallow water that half of his body is out of it for three years mabye how do you think l should act about that? Should l transfer him to a tank and slowly increase the depth of the water and we didn't have a basking area but we take him out so he could walk around the house
Hello, i wanna ask, my turtle is new so i dont know much of what was his life before, he is a small one, but he s not swimming and its not moving , he doesnot open his eyes , he doesnt eat, he doesn't eat his food i bought , no vegetables nothing at all, i made for him a carrot soak , he opened one eye but the other he is not opening it , im afraid he is dying , im keeping his water clean and heated , what should i do
could you do a video about the water you put in tanks? i was told to use tap water with certain chemicals but could you explain that? thx!
jeepers you use tap water and then a water conditioner to dechlorinate the water. ( prime is a good conditioner to use)
You can use dechlorinator to remove harmful chemicals from tap water. Only reason I haven't made a video yet is because recently some studies came out saying that there are potentially harmful things in water conditioner that could bs unhealthy for turtles and I'm not sure how true it is, but I wouldn't want to promote dechlorinator and then find it could be harmful.
I get clean water of a water well where u fill up a 5 Gallon jug and use that. That water is clear clean try that I have 2 5 gallons and fill up a 20 gallon so I make 2 trips
Thank you!
The Turtle Girl another method of dechlorinating Water is the off gassing method! 24 hours in a separate container with the biggest air stone you can get in the bottom of the container! The air stone creates more surface agitation increasing the gas exchange and removing the chlorine in the process! I know several large scale fish keepers who use this method to remove chlorine instead of chemical dechlorinater.
I really wish more people would watch these videos before getting any kind of pet. I used to have 2 sliders, male and female, but we had to give them to my mom's sister since we had to move and couldn't keep them. That happened about 4 years ago. I visited her the other day and I was horrified. She keeps them in a small tub that's basically twice the size of the big female. They have literally nothing in it except for some filthy, shallow water. Not even a basking light, and they're only being fed dry shrimp. She put them in the balcony, where she and her husband usually smoke, besides the fact that it's pretty cold outside. I'm trying to convince my mom to get them back, but that might take a while.
Save them 😢
Quick question, what is the difference between a UVA and UVB bulb?
Don't worry about the uva the uvb is the important one.
Thank you for these videos! We found such a turtle in our drive way after a storm and ended up adopting it and the info is very helpful!
Thank you for this I'm going to fig deeper I just got a rescue slider, mine ate greens we gave him. He is doing good and this video completely helped us out
Do you have a youtube page of your own on rescues?
Jesus Christ love you
QUESTION: Eastern Painted Turtles are known for lasting very well on winter water conditions, if that is the case why should we put a heater in their water ?
I know this is from two years ago but for anyone wondering, it’s to keep the water at a regulated temperature. Without one the water can be too cold for them.
Very helpful. I have 3 red ear slider and theyre together since theyre still babies. 😊 😍
I can provide at least 40 gallons
Hey, I'm thinking of buying one! And I have some questions that need answered. What kind of filter do u recommend if I'm on a budget? And if I get a turtle at the hatchling stage how long can they live in a 10 gallon tank?, and btw I'm talking about the slider
in one of her videos she says it okay to use a fish filter! but two is better than one and not sure what to tell you about the other questions
I subscribed u are awesome and thank u for telling information
How do I tell if my red eared slider is a boy or girl? And how do I tell their age
Fiona Yang females have a flat or slightly bulging outwards stomachs. Males have a more bulged inward stomachs. This is so that the males can mount on top of the females for mating (:
Yeah they can in india as i am from india and also have 2😅
Is any fish ok to put in my turtle tank
My turtle tank broke so please tell me what to buy for less than 50$ because he’s in a bucket and I’m scared my red eared slider is gonna die
You’re awesome, thank you! We’re babysitting but wanted to make sure we did everything right and now we’re considering adopting a rescue turtle (is that a thing?). Anyway, great work and thank you!
I've had 2 males were given to me as babies for 15 years. I kept them together for over ten years before I saw any aggressive behavior toward each other. I watched it escalate over the next few years, but was reluctant to separate them because they've always known each other, and not much else... One day I watched one take a chunk out of the other's neck. I separated them immediately and never put them back together. Luckily it wasn't too deep and he was able to heal from it, I'm so grateful it wasn't more serious.
Thank you for this video so much and the pinned comment I'm getting a red eared slider turtle soon 👍 🐢 and now I can be prepared for his care. Thanks a lot! 🥺 🙏.
do you have anywhere that you could recommend that sells affordable but plenty big enough turtle tanks because some that I'm looking at are very expensive and I definitely wouldn't be able to afford but I've been doing a lot of research and I'm ready for a turtle, but the tanks are so expensive it might be a deal breaker :(
For adult red eared sliders, can you keep the temperature the same as they were when they were babies?
