theTurtleRoom.com breeder Anthony gives a behind the scenes tour of his indoor turtle setups. Please visit theturtleroom.com for more information on our turtles and their enclosures.
so nice to see reptiles kept properly with loads of space. All my animals are in the maximum space i can provide. If i dont have decent space i dont get the animal
For my birthday this year I have requested a 1500 litre stock tank for my 8 year old northern yellow faced turtle. I have pumps/filters and everything waiting to go!! She’ll be happy to be out of her 5ft x 1.5ft aquarium. She is native to my area so I’m excited to make her new home as “nature identical” as possible. Im already able to feed her the native plants and crustaceans she’d typically eat in the wild so for her house to be more natural will be good. Her 1.5 year old little brother (adopted!!!lol) will also be happy to upgrade to her old tank from his 3 footer.
Your turtle room is stunning, the enclosures even more so! It's such a nice change of pace to see turtles and tortoises cared for correctly on youtube. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work!
I can’t wait to build a new enclosure for my terrapins in a month or so! Been looking for inspiration videos and this has inspired some ideas! They are getting big now so will defo need to move out of their tank but I’ve always wanted to give them a huge living space so I’m so excited !!!
Loving the setups, especially the heavy tannins. I keep almost all my aquatics on the semi to very acidic side, depending on species. It's made a real difference.
Just thought I should let you know , my dog got hold of 1 of my lellow belly hatcling and punctured its lateral scute I could c the muscle and organs so I carefully got a pin and had to place it between the scute and the tissue underneath and pop it back out after doing sow in applied a layer of super glue around the damaged scut waitid 15 mins then put him back in his tank, hese made a full recovery. It has stunted his growth
Nathan le with red eared sliders they love to swim if you have 50 dollars you can buy a cheap stock tank or a storage ben. The deeper the water the better really cause they are very good swimmers, i tested it out with mine, i had two sides of people telling me dont keep them in deep water and then another side saying keep them in it. So i tested it out n sure enough they are doing great i have A 5 inch and 6 inch red eared slider both doing great and loveing there 40 gallon tank ima upgrade soon to a 150 gallon stock tank.
What a great job! I realny appreciate Your effort and passion, I love 🐢 especially European pond turtle as I'm from Poland and I live pretty close to their disappearing natural habitat. I'd love to breed them and release them into their natural environment. Keep up with your great work.
Unfortunately it's illegal for me to breed them and release hatchlings into the wild. Only zoos and national parks can do this. Yes this species is special cold tolerance, it can live without food forever and it lives so long... Great adaptation for Western European countries like Poland where you can have several summers too cold for successful hatching, but than a good few years with Mediterranean summer to replenish population.
We have 3 RES and 1 painted in a 90 gal tank. We have a problem with our filtration getting clogged by food. It seems stressful on some of the turtles to be handled to use a feeding tank. I noticed that there has been some pink ectoplasm looking stuff that has been growing in the tank. Also I noticed big globs of something funky when I go to vacuum the tank (to get rid of the pink stuff). Any idea what the pink stuff? Two of the RES are female, one RES and the painted are males.
Where do you get the large tubs and I have a yellow bellied slider I caught in the wild (I'm from Alabama) he was in my pond and I've kept him since he was 3 inches and I have another one I bought (which looks like another male) and my friend has two older females and were thinking about breeding them and I need a bigger tank there now in a 29 gallon and he's probably 7 inches
Anthony, getting some good ideas from your videos! Thanks for sharing. I am setting up a Cuora amboinensis and I am using a LDPE stock tub to do it. What kind of heater would you recommend for a plastic tub as opposed to an aquarium?
Anthony, for the Chinese box turtle tub, you have a heater in the water or is it room temperature? Does the Chinese box turtle need some substrate area?
Hi, I love your setup. I have one Mississippi Map turtle at the moment because the house is too small for more than one tank xD. Have you found that your turtles like one type of food more than another?
Looks good. Would like to know the latin names of the turtles. Other then Geoemyda spengleri, G. japonica, Cuora flavomarginata and Pyxis arachnoides. The European pond turtle is probably the Emys orbicularis
I have a 27 gallon aquarim, I got very few fish and 6 shrimps atm. How could I setup to get some turtles and what turtle do you recommend to get. I want turtles that like to swim and/or need a baskingplace
best portrait of a turtle eva!!! 1:19. I been trying to get good images of my baby but she keeps swimming away when she sees me with my camera. How did you get that shot?
yea i can but she knows the camera i will be right up against the glass and she will be looking right back at me (begging for food...lol) but as soon as i get the camera she is off maybe she just needs to get older but i kinda want baby pictures too.
cool i do giver her greens and she loves it she eats almost one large leaf a day (and poops to prove it lol) i wanted to go to the store and get her some crickets but im not too sure if they will be too big for her she is only a few months old, but i saw her the other day chase after a little bug that was on the tank so i figured she must want to hunt. They say i should have it gut loaded or dusted what does that mean???
Is the medium water land tub worth the 300 dollars? I have 3 eastern painted, 1 young common snapper, 1 northern musk and 1 spiny softshell. I need an easy and affordable enclosure for them.
Im planning on getting a turtle. Can you give me tips on how to set up there lights and where to put them. Im getting a red eared slider and planning on making part of the tank aquatic and the other one on land.
I am dealing with a rescue Ambo. Don't have a tank heater for her yet. Is it ok to keep them on land with regular soakings until I can get a tank heater? I know they are aquatic species but I also want to have good temps for him. This came on quick but she seems healthy.
That's ok. I appreciate that you guys answer questions. Good so far. Keeping ambients at 78-82 and water shallow and clean. Water around 74-78, this guy seems fine.
just a simple tetra submersible. I keep the water in the tub about midway up his shell for right now. This one seems healthy but I am talking to others working with them now and they say the temp is important
guys can someone give me some advice please, ive always wanted a turtle but since i was a kid ive kept pet goldfish and various other fish and have been to that turtles will eat the fish, is there a species of turtle i could get that could live harmoniously with my fish? i noticed that there were guppies living with the turtle in this video, are the guppies going to be eaten or will they live peacefully with the turtles? if so what species turtles are they and what species would you recommend for me?
Nice to see the turtles in a good habitat and enough room to swim an grow in. So cool hate to see these guys in so small an aquarium, especially the sliders. Musks are ok which i got but seen too many undersized places for turtles.
Hey can you tell me what those large black plastic looking containers are that you keep your turtles in? And also where could you purchase one of these. Thanks.
my red eared slider is 7 in now (not full grown yet) and is outgrowing his 1/4 filled sandbox that I use as an enclosure I don't have a lot of money (bout $50 max) for an enclosure what should I buy for him now? or should I release him in a local pond?
you can buy it a kiddy pool. its been done successfully by many people. but if you are so cheap with your turtle that you wont spend on his enclosure then you dont deserve any pets, ever. Having a tutle is a long term commitment, and its a shame that you dont see the wonders of it. If you would properly care for him then you two could grow old together and have a life long bond. but no. You'd rather spend your money on who knows what. And dont ever release a pet into the wild. they fuck up ecosystems. Specially red eared sliders. In some places they have to take lots of them out of local ponds and euthanize them because they breed with the native turtle species. the best thing for you to do is to either get your shit together and properly care for your turtle, or give him away for FREE to someone who will. post an add on craigslist or something. sorry if i sound rude kid but someone had to say it.
it's not that I'm cheap, my parents don't let me spend more than $500 a year on pets even though it's my money they say if it's under their roof, they get a say in my decisions but it's ok I do have a kiddie pool but the kiddie pool is very low like they can't stand on their hind legs and be under water still
Nathan Le as much as I hate euthanizing a healthy good animal, follow the advice given here. Turtles can introduce diseases that wipe out indigenous populations. Euthanasia is inexpensive and I have had to do it with dumped animals. It stinks, but it's better for the turtles than to release it. Great ideas for Waterland Tub setups in this video!!!!
so nice to see reptiles kept properly with loads of space. All my animals are in the maximum space i can provide. If i dont have decent space i dont get the animal
some people don't have room to sleep in...and you got room for turtle. smh.. let the nature take care of them
Jill scott I agree I'm also a turtle keeper I make sure my turtles have all the space they need
American Spirit Thats what should be said about people who dont have a room to sleep somehow.
I love your shows

This video is still alive, I can’t believe it. It’s been so long since I’ve watched it 😂
I love this turtle room!! I have watched this video probably 20 times!!
This place is heaven.... I love turtles :)
Your turtle room is stunning, the enclosures even more so! It's such a nice change of pace to see turtles and tortoises cared for correctly on youtube. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work!
I loved the North American spotted turtle setup!! It's so creative, the two story design. Really nice room!!
Amazing video dude! Great to see such dedication and commitment to raising these little beauties :D
This is the first video I have watched from theTurtleRoom and as soon as I saw the first few minutes of the video I subscribed and liked!
THAT ROOM LOOKS AMAZING!!!
I can’t wait to build a new enclosure for my terrapins in a month or so! Been looking for inspiration videos and this has inspired some ideas! They are getting big now so will defo need to move out of their tank but I’ve always wanted to give them a huge living space so I’m so excited !!!
Loving the setups, especially the heavy tannins. I keep almost all my aquatics on the semi to very acidic side, depending on species. It's made a real difference.
Awesome.. If I were a neighbor, I would be the guy that would not leave...lol Thanks for sharing, great set up!

Great hobby in keeping tortoises and terrapins. Are you are breeding a few species as well, which has got to be fun. Thanks for sharing.
really awesome video! Love stock tanks! I use them for my axolotls. Such a cheap and effective tank.
I love your room so much I just love look at this video over and over again
awesome turtle room lots of cool stuff
I just got 2 Razorback musk turtles!!! Really awesome and their very fast!!!
Just thought I should let you know , my dog got hold of 1 of my lellow belly hatcling and punctured its lateral scute I could c the muscle and organs so I carefully got a pin and had to place it between the scute and the tissue underneath and pop it back out after doing sow in applied a layer of super glue around the damaged scut waitid 15 mins then put him back in his tank, hese made a full recovery. It has stunted his growth
I would love to have a room like this someday.

you are the man Anthony! !!! Merica

nice setup
Can you use a fish filter if you have a glass aquarium
I use the Chinese food takeout container top as a food dish as well!!!!
I have 1 adult yellow bellied slider and 2 babies in a 75 gallon tank. do you think it would hold all 3 as adults?
I had a waterland tub and a turtle pond in doors I had get rid of them because of damp problems do u have problems to?
Nice turtle room...
We have 3 RES and 1 painted in a 90 gal tank. We have a problem with our filtration getting clogged by food. It seems stressful on some of the turtles to be handled to use a feeding tank. I noticed that there has been some pink ectoplasm looking stuff that has been growing in the tank. Also I noticed big globs of something funky when I go to vacuum the tank (to get rid of the pink stuff). Any idea what the pink stuff? Two of the RES are female, one RES and the painted are males.
I use plastic lattice for my turtles to get up and out of the water. I found the white grates ur using was too brittle and broke.
how did you make that its so cool
Looks amazing awesome job
I wish I had a basement to keep turtles! LOL
Cool setup. Do you turn there light off when u leave the house or unplug anything?
Where do you get the large tubs and I have a yellow bellied slider I caught in the wild (I'm from Alabama) he was in my pond and I've kept him since he was 3 inches and I have another one I bought (which looks like another male) and my friend has two older females and were thinking about breeding them and I need a bigger tank there now in a 29 gallon and he's probably 7 inches
Could you make a video on how you make your filters?
Anthony, getting some good ideas from your videos! Thanks for sharing.
I am setting up a Cuora amboinensis and I am using a LDPE stock tub to do it.
What kind of heater would you recommend for a plastic tub as opposed to an aquarium?
Anthony, for the Chinese box turtle tub, you have a heater in the water or is it room temperature? Does the Chinese box turtle need some substrate area?
Wow nice turtle room but how you get turtles?
thanks for the upload. subbed.
Hi, I love your setup. I have one Mississippi Map turtle at the moment because the house is too small for more than one tank xD. Have you found that your turtles like one type of food more than another?
Looks good. Would like to know the latin names of the turtles. Other then Geoemyda spengleri, G. japonica, Cuora flavomarginata and Pyxis arachnoides. The European pond turtle is probably the Emys orbicularis
What is that white plastic thing that I'm assuming the turtles can climb to bask.
I have a 27 gallon aquarim, I got very few fish and 6 shrimps atm. How could I setup to get some turtles and what turtle do you recommend to get. I want turtles that like to swim and/or need a baskingplace
nice turtle room
Can you atleast tell me what type of filter I will need. Because I am trying to make one
i know that red eared slider turtles are the most common and are beginner turtles but don't you have any?
How did you get the blandings? They are endangered here I've only seen one and it was in the woods laying in mud very friendly turtle.
And yes I put it back after I seen it was a blandings turtle I couldn't tell till I whipped some mud off seen the spots and how long the neck was.
best portrait of a turtle eva!!! 1:19. I been trying to get good images of my baby but she keeps swimming away when she sees me with my camera. How did you get that shot?
yea i can but she knows the camera i will be right up against the glass and she will be looking right back at me (begging for food...lol) but as soon as i get the camera she is off maybe she just needs to get older but i kinda want baby pictures too.
do you feed your turtles pellets only??? there is so much discussion on the internet about feeding them i just don't know
cool i do giver her greens and she loves it she eats almost one large leaf a day (and poops to prove it lol) i wanted to go to the store and get her some crickets but im not too sure if they will be too big for her she is only a few months old, but i saw her the other day chase after a little bug that was on the tank so i figured she must want to hunt. They say i should have it gut loaded or dusted what does that mean???
cool i will be getting her small fruit flies and things just to keep her feeling like she is in the wild she should hunt them down can't wait.lol
Is the medium water land tub worth the 300 dollars? I have 3 eastern painted, 1 young common snapper, 1 northern musk and 1 spiny softshell. I need an easy and affordable enclosure for them.
Im planning on getting a turtle. Can you give me tips on how to set up there lights and where to put them. Im getting a red eared slider and planning on making part of the tank aquatic and the other one on land.
I have a question, don't turtles eat fish? How are they kept together in one pond?
what were those black fish that were in the last tub u
showed
I want to know what filter is best
Are algae eating fish good to be in a turtle pen?
Have your drain plugs ever leaked? I cant find a stock tank withput a plug and am scared of putting a tuff stuff 110 gallon inside
Amazing setup! How do you keep the humidity in the basement down?
I have a red ear slider almost 7 in shell

nice turtle room , but the water looks so cloud , maybe you need upgrade to a more Eficient filter or change water more often
guys can someone give me some advice please, ive always wanted a turtle but since i was a kid ive kept pet goldfish and various other fish and have been to that turtles will eat the fish, is there a species of turtle i could get that could live harmoniously with my fish? i noticed that there were guppies living with the turtle in this video, are the guppies going to be eaten or will they live peacefully with the turtles? if so what species turtles are they and what species would you recommend for me?

Nice to see the turtles in a good habitat and enough room to swim an grow in.
So cool hate to see these guys in so small an aquarium, especially the sliders.
Musks are ok which i got but seen too many undersized places for turtles.
Happy Turtling ;)
What is the turtle tank's name?

Do u have like a link location for that Home made incubator heat tape?
I have an african side neck turtle and red eared slider turtle. I think i wanna make a video on that. Trying to figure out what to do with my channel
Hay it was about 2-3 months ago. Have a look at my vids there's dates there.
So I'm going to be getting a Russian tortoise and I was wondering approximately how much I would cost for 1 turtle. Thank you very much
Where did u get ur black pond tubes
HI there! WHere did you get the pool/bin? We have a full size RES.
oh that's so cute I want some so bad
how big of a tank do you need for a 3 year old red eared slider turtle
At least 55 gal but good go a little smaller
Hey can you tell me what those large black plastic looking containers are that you keep your turtles in? And also where could you purchase one of these. Thanks.
I think the brand is waterland tubs . I also saw the Rubbermaid industrial/farm tubs in the room too.
How much did u pay for the land and water tub
guys I have an 7 years old red slider turtle and I want to buy a 10 gallon tank, if I put the turtle in the tank it will broke it or no?!
May I know what material the those oval-lish tubs are made of?
my red eared slider is 7 in now (not full grown yet) and is outgrowing his 1/4 filled sandbox that I use as an enclosure
I don't have a lot of money (bout $50 max) for an enclosure what should I buy for him now? or should I release him in a local pond?
my turtle is a 7 in male and I live in Orange County in California
you can buy it a kiddy pool. its been done successfully by many people. but if you are so cheap with your turtle that you wont spend on his enclosure then you dont deserve any pets, ever.
