[TheTurtleaddict]

Red eared sliders get no bigger then a foot at the most and you can infact house in large aquariumexample one male res can easily live in 100 gallon a female around 150 gallon expert village every single thing you say is a load of crap.

[D1j0HN]

dumbass

[totallyRin]

my slider follows me and enjoys it when i scratch her shell. she arches her back and sometimes falls asleep. red eared sliders are the most common pet turtle. map turtles are notoriously shy.

[wilerman]

i used to have a pet western painted turtle and he didn't mind getting picked up. But be found him when he was almost a baby and he probably got used to it.

[thetricksandtips]

Bull shit my yellow belly sliders are awesome pets they love being handled when i pick them up and let them roam my back yard but i never take my eye off of him he is only as big as a quarter they make excellent pets this guy has no idea what he is talking about  I guess my turtle is fine when i pick him up because he does not go in his shell and when i pet him he closes his eyes and falls asleep then I sit him in his tank they make excellent pets :)

[SBERG231]

u might as well just go on expert village

[pakman1234100]

BULLSHIT

[KevinIsM8ig]

[MegaKillall]

[mclem07]

WOW yuo dont know sh-- about turtles.. 40 years?  What a joke

[turtlebruhh26]

[thatonechick4444]

This guy is clearly retarded.

[nefty018]

[TheTmacz]

[Alexaluera]

every thing u just said was all roung because i have 5 red eared slider turtles and they are all grown and the dont bite and they do make tanks big for the grown turtles and i know that for a fact because i have a tank that hold 5 grown red eared sliders so every thing u just said it a huge LIE

[016kayykayy]

good rule of thumb ten gallons of tank per inch of shell.

[kevin631773]

ur on somethingi got a res and its doing fine in a 150 gallon and its a female its big

[coronapeacock]

is that septic water?

[violated1000]

BULL SHIT.... you can put them in a 125 gallon tank when they are an adult !!!!!!!

[Alexaluera]

@violated1000 i agree with u

[violated1000]

what the hell they only need 125 gallon tank BULL SHIT

[sallaayx]

That water is disgusting. 

[Turtlefan1717TF]

the water does not look clean

[DrLeonardBonesMcCoy]

*Picks up turtle* Turtle do no like to be handled

[hollywoodmovielover]

U no nothing!

[lKingCobra]

[MrCoryjohnson1]

Nice filter, when you gonna turn it on? lol

[DrLeonardBonesMcCoy]

@MrCoryjohnson1 It's for decoration

[MrCoryjohnson1]

@DrLeonardBonesMcCoy well it sure isn't cleaning the water.. lol

[4sm0ke2guam0]

why is everyone on this gu's ass, obvousely he knows alot and ur picking at every little thing, only thing id say is majot is lack of space for some turtles and lack of a proper basking platform

[B0DawGH]

bull fuckin shit

[DNRRC]

Dude you are a complete retard "do not make good pets" they are great pets that rarely bite! 40 years of keeping my arse fuckin retard

[rcplane56]

would u reccomend diamond back terrapins?

how large do they get?

i had one that was rescued but released her befor adult age

[valiantred]

this is a load of crap, my turtle doesnt bite and loves to be picked up and always wants attention they make great pets the only thing i agree with is how they get big quickly, its a pain getting a tank big enough if you a have a budget in mind

[NorthKoreaTroll]

They're animals... As long as you give them food and somewhere to hide they will be happy. And they don't all bite.

[NorthKoreaTroll]

Wait, if RES are the worst type of turtle to get, why are they the most widely available? That's bullshit :( where I live, the only turtle available are RES.

[kimxvx9]

myyyy dont it start biteing meee

[TheDarryl50]

Anyone that has cared for a fully grown slider knows this guy is right on many levels. I have an adult female red eared slider that is about 10 inches long and two smaller painted turtles in a 150 gallon setup. The slider is a total bitch and will try to bite me any time I stick my hand in there. I would not recommend these things to anyone that cannot provide and maintain a large setup of at least 100 gallons. If you really want a turtle get a painted, musk, or mud turtle.

[TheTurtlelover1]

and i have 11 turtles ten are baby red eared sliders , and the other one is two inches and also what you said is a load of crap

[melayfishy2001]

people should not say mean things by the way im 9 years old

[the4halo3]

@melayfishy2001 kid this is youtube deal with it 

[silentstunna1]

My turtle likes to be picked up.

[morninggloryseed]

This guy does know what he is talking about. Female red-ear sliders get a foot in length. You think an animal that big is happy in a 55gal tank? Even a 75gal? Wrong.

Once you keep a turtle in a pond, you realize it is nothing short of CRUEL to keep a large turtle in an aquarium. Only mud and musk turtles (or other turtles under 5 inches) should be kept in an aquarium.

[BaseballCardFreek]

What a dumbass this guy is. They don't make very good pets. Oh really? then why does pet stores sell them? A

[dolittle1992]

turtles are some of the sweetes little pets, they recognize you and if you actually pay them attention often then will not bite you

[jokergirl12097]

Which type of turtles is the best kind of turtle to keep as a pet? Preferably a smaller one. Any thing that only grows to about 5in? I have a 5gallon tank from when i had fish, so I was hoping about getting 2 or 3 turtles. Any suggestions?

[nerfman4]

@jokergirl12097 Well the reality is that ANY turtle species will need at least a 20gal tank if not more. But if you get a baby Mud, Musk, or Painted turtle it should be fine in the 5gal for a yr maybe but only 1 or 2 will be best.

[winstonsmithization]

I would also agree with him that they do NOT make aquariums large enough for RES. The females can and do grow up to 12". An 120g is only 24" wide. This is not big enough for the turtle to happily live in properly. My turtle is a little more than 5" (not an RES) and my setup is only 18" wide, which is truly not large enough. As a general rule of thumb a turtle requires about 10g for every inch. So until you can afford and maintain at least a 120g for your RES you probably shouldn't get one.

[stinkyboy999]

i have a red ear slider you dumb ass and its great so go blow your dad

[machinima678]

they definitley make aqauariums big enough for them turtles hes retarded

[FUNTOFALL50]

ur dumb u should just quit this shit ur a dumbfuck they dont like you becasue you dont treat them with enough respect

[NinjaBieber]

So they don't like to be handled? It doesn't mean that they don't make good pets. They are very pretty! And, they DO make big enough tanks. You just have to find them. Mostly everything you said was a lie in this video. And btw genius, the type of turtle doesn't matter. It's the turtle itself. That's like saying every black peron you see speaks slang. It isn't true. (Actually, everyone speaks slang now). Your information is WRONG! 40 years probably wasn't enough. You suck Tim Cole!

[shukaku]

Wow this dude is a fucking retard. How don't they make good pets? They are easy if you have a filter and fun to watch eat fish. They look fucking cool to. This guy should just go and put his head in and alligators mouth. These turtles don't get big at all. What is it like less then a fucking foot?

[GRKify]

Would just like to point out some mistakes in this video, yellow bellied slider are carnivorous when they are younger and omnivorous when they mature. As for handling yellow bellied sliders this really depends on the turtle I have 2 yellow bellied sliders one of which dislikes being handled and another which absolutely loves the attention. Will agree expert village a outside pond is ideal as yellow bellied sliders can grow to over 12".

[geckoJOE619]

if i wanted a small turtle that doesnt get very big and has a nice temperment and looks nice (cool looking shell),what should i get?

[kujichagulia23]

@geckoJOE619 a box turtle.

[NinjaBieber]

@geckoJOE619 Map Turtles don't get too too big. About four inches?

[lemmyliquor]

I love me some texas cooters.....

[Sabrknight]

wtf is with this dude? Red eared sliders make wonderful pets and I dont see How 10 inch turtles are to big. Better than a snapper

[jonasdude11]

shut up dude dont care how come your handaling them right now

[jonasdude11]

i am not going to listen to this dude because my familyhave raised turtles for about 60 years or so and they dont ge that big

[superkillen100]

gå lägg dig i ditt jävla anus =)

[Damiboy1289]

he can go and frag himself

[adamannodmini]

its kinda sad that you said you've been doing htis for over 40 years and you have yet to figure out how to proberly filter a trtle tank. that water is gross. you need more tan a 5 gallon bucket and it wouldn't hurt to have a skimmer, water agitator, airiator or anything else that will make the water not be stagnant.

you shoud be ashamed.

[bluetrilobite]

i agree with this guy.

i had 12 of them over a period of 15 years.

when i started i had 2 and i kept them in a tank for the first 2 years, after which i moved them outside in a pond.

simply because they can survive in fish tanks doesn't mean that they're happy in it.

it's just too small and they also require direct sunlight for proper shell formation.

an outside pond also reduces the chances of them getting sick and/or spreading the disease.

[52cmercer]

uh mr know it all, i have had turtles bigger than that and they loved to be handled and never EVER bit. Also you don't need a 300 gallon pool to keep a turtle happy.

[bluetrilobite]

i'd like to know HOW you knew the turtles were happy and enjoyed being handled?

secondly he is referring to red eared sliders (not all turtles, there are some species that won't bite easily). i had 12 and they were all ready to bite anytime.

a question for you: would you be happier living in a 3 by 2 meters room/jail (9 by 6 feet) or in a house with a garden?

same concept works with animals?

[chibustin]

@52cmercer i got bit dude

[blackzip661]

i have 2 of those they have red cheeks bequite i hate it wen people try to make me turn against them wut kind of care for turtle guy are u i hate this

[runescape99cooker]

everything you just said is a load of shit

[runescape99cooker]

i have 3 fully grown males and there fine in my 90gallon

[paintball4freak]

What the fuck? Ive got an 80 gallon tank with 3 full grown female sliders and theyre happy. They make fine pets. this guy doesnt know shit

[blackzip661]

i no right they are great pets to me

[sicilianotoronto]

I think they make tanks big enough, just don't try to shove 5 turtles in them! 2 is the max! and try to find the biggest (especially widest) you can.

[Darcy1992xx]

this guy is an idiot!!! not what he would call pets!! i hav 2 of dem n dey are soooo freindly evri time i walk in the room they swim up to me n let me hold dem for hours!!

[runescape99cooker]

i have two yellow belly sliders and they are perfect pets. u only dont like them because u only like small turtles

[flagracer11]

Wtf soooo wrong

[Coolerthancool759]

this dude dosent know anything he is like...

Blah blah blah yeah im sooo right blah blah blah I know everything! blah!

[razzordog]

moron you dont know shit. steve irwin would say they love to have there shells scratched and caresed ow crikey he bit me!

[Dimunic]

My turtle likes being handled and follows me everywhere. Second of all they can be kept indoors just with POWERFUL filtration system meaning you get a 75g with a 400gallon filter or TWO-400gallon filters.

[dannoluvzurmom]

this guy is a retard more then half of what he said was completely false. expert village should just be kicked off of youtube they get people who dont knopw shit

[JeePnoY1]

LOL

[disneypirate27]

that is so untrue! i mean RES r a little challenging to keep at first for nube turtle keepers but with time (if the owner still loves the turtle) the owner will be able to understand an RES needs and will probably make the life of the turtle better^^

[SnApPyDude486]

yeah u can change the habitats overtime

[insanegamer11]

wtf theyre great pets stupid! my sisters luvs ppl and like to be in an aquarium! it likes to walk around on the floor too! idiot...

[chops3uy91]

wtf are you on my turtles love being handled i have 2 yellow bellied sliders they are in a huge tank in my hallway as for my long neck turtle well he hates it when i put him down dont follow expert village advice anyone they are totally wrong in almost all there videos all they are intrested in is views not good advice

[MtWhiteCld]

its true turtles are best keep outdoors

[LandauTST]

They don't always bite. My female RES turtle, gracie, has been with me since she was a hatchling. Whenever I handle her she loves to stick out her neck so I can "pet" her on top of her head and under her chin. By pet I mean rub lightly with my finger. She doesn't even open her mouth to threaten me.

George, my other turtle, I bought when he was a few years old already. Unlike Gracie, he does open his mouth at me, at means business.

[millmanturtle]

yeah turtles are great pets!! and there good to handle!

[JeePnoY1]

depends on what turtle youre talking about... Snapping Turtles? Red Ear Sliders? Box Turtles? tortoises

[millmanturtle]

not always only snappers

[cockerspaniel5300]

u dont know shit!

I always handel my turtle and they love it

what did u say u r from some society

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh! your wrong

Most turtle do like to be handled unless you "find" them at river or somewhere then they will moan or groan because they are no used to it! Im only 15 and i know DAME well what im talking about!!

[Hurting88]

"they do not like to be handled" he says, holding a turtle.

[disneypirate27]

lol, seems ironic eh?

[kc3smith012]

Fuck You, You are a Dumbass turtles are great pets and they do make aquariums as big as you need them i have an ideal red eared slider tank and setup, i realize mine are not total adults but they can be properly owned indoors you dumb Fuck i have a video if you want to see

[cockerspaniel5300]

thanks! i toatlly agree with you!

[Kittyfan4456]

but ihave red ared sliders and they never bite me when i pick them up o.o som uch to learn bout these cute reptiles.

[jerumd]

Yea, well how about the giant Mexican musk turtle huh!? Those guys grows big.

[rcooper95]

u make the impression of a real assfucker

[lemskidu]

fuck you

[Edwardobsessed14]

I have a baby yellow bellied slider, which i bought 3 onths ago. it wouldnt eat for the first onth or so and has only recently begun to grow. its shell is roughly an inch and a half in length. i haave a tank for it indoors, and i feed it store bought commercial pet food that contains dried fish and pellets. i was told in the petshop that i bought him in that he wouldnt grow bigger than 3 or more inches. is this wrong? and how fast should he grow to be s big as those in this video?

[rcooper95]

atleast 5 years

[littlelyera]

mine wouldn't eat either , so i threaded some food onto a stick and it ate it straight away , i had to do it for 3 weeks b4 it learnt , mine was the species as your

[chibustin]

I actually left my turtle alone with a tiny fish in shallow waters in a fishbowl, when I went back the fish was gone, no trace

[lemmyliquor]

it would have been a cooler story if the fish was there and the turtle was gone.....

[littlelyera]

get the food and pur it on a stick underwater i did it for 3 weeks b4 he learnt to eat from the surface , mine is also a yellow belly

[amyers123456789]
