my cute red eared slider's new pond

[AllAboutTheInternet]

i know this is a late response but if someone could please answer me this i have owned a male red eared slider for almost 6 years know and i've never put him into deep water before only water up to its shell, would he be able to adept to going into deep water or is it a bad idea know?

[dpcjoe411]

@AllAboutTheInternet All turtles know how to swim in deep water by instinct, and it will benefit your turtle if you put more water because it will be less stress on the legs. Turtles are supposed to live in deep water. So please do add the deep water as your turtle will live a long time and benefit from it =]

@AllAboutTheInternet, put him in deep water. he will love you.

[tinkerbell798]

@PlecoFreak thats y she put chicken wire around it

[Yakuzagang5]

@PlecoFreak ¿ ≠ ?. ? = ?. lol :P

[Lilsaintaz]

shell cream is bad. Your turtle shell is shedding so its completely normal and healthy. Shell cream however blocks out ventilation and after awhile it might cause problem with shedding

[flutterbutter01]

i just got some new turtles and some ppl told me they are nasty and mean and bite alot!!! how do urs react when you pet them or touch them?!?!!?

[qbprince23]

Smart fencing it off, really good budget setup if you have room.

[dpcjoe411]

ok well I think it's just calcium stains from our hard water, but I bought the shell wax and I will buy the powder. Thanks for the help guys! =D

[XDRemiXD]

where did you get pool?

[therealmaxoplax10]

+ Tammy's a boy

[therealmaxoplax10]

No, you don't need to go to the vet. My turtle has the same thing cause its natural

[WheresWaldoTV]

tammy is a tommy! lool

[Peaches70380]

Turtle wax perhaps? lol

[Ghostkid202]

I heard that white spotts on the shell is bad.

[tammychan7]

Tammy is my name.

[zoklops]

you may scrape sheel (carapace) prior to treatment.

[zoklops]

freaky, i have two ponds like this one. one being a turtle pond and the other a turtle pond. The shell needs to get a treatment of zoo med antibiotic powder that you buy for around 9 bucks and then ad powder in bucket with water. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. leave the turtle in there for 1 full hour. this is what i did when it happened to mine. I also bought it some antibacterial turtle food at petsmart.

[tw1stedgrudge]

Take it to the vet in any case, just to make sure. Never hurts to be careful.

[tw1stedgrudge]

The video quality is bad, sadly, and I can't quite make out the shell. If there are glittery parts on the shell, this is a stage where Tammy will begin to shed off spare scutes (the different sections) of her shell. Similar to when a snake or lizard sheds its skin, if you will.

Since it's outside, and I cant see very well on the video, I don't know what the white thing is. If its cotton-like or wooly, take it to a vet. Also, I've kept RES's for five years, and Tammy is a boy. : p

[Angelflonne12]

how did you know its a boy?

[tw1stedgrudge]

Oh, trust me. Tammy is a boy. xD I know.

[eibbit12]

if its dry that may be from her basking i think u should take her to a local pet store they know the animals and you wont have to spend alot of money on a theory

[taiduncan]

[yorichard771]

[blackbandwar]

[prowlus]

[MzzSmiley]

hahaha hi Tammy

[chestup09]

nope nothing rong with the shell he is jst getting ur to the water temperature and new environment

[951tony]

have you had the turtles since they were babies?

[solarino32]

Sorry to break it to ya....But "Tammy" is a DUDE!

From what i can tell in the vid,the tail is too big and the claws are too long to be a female

[rcooper95]

its a chick...

[santo973]

how old is tammy?

[87even]

Nice! I like that

[blakeb561]

20 $

[CottonCandy0087]

I had 2 turtles and they got like that because they needed sunlight

[Flaheat]

Shell looks fine, looks like she's just molting a bit. If she's used to people holding her, you might be able to scratch he shell a bit. My 'slider loved having his shell scratched.

Great looking pond.

[dpcjoe411]

Everything costs about $50.00 in total.

[dumaaaaaa]

including the filter and heater?

[animejunkie]

wow we just got a little fella today and that pond is gorgeous :3 D': i wish i could have one as nice :D how much was everything o.0?

[RuizD]

It could just be mineral build up. If she has a healthy diet with plenty of sun and bask area...you shouldnt be worried.

[TechnoGuitarist]

nice turtle

[dalsch]

yeah, that's bigger. The pool for my 5 turtles that I used is just a 'day spa'. They only go in it on hot sunny days. Otherwise they love their tank in the house. Tammi looks like she needs a friend--lol. have fun
