[earthling1984]

[hanley2458]

[dtrash21]

how do you abuse a turtle stfu and if for some reason they abuse there product your helping the turtle by buying it from them

[LeafDHNine]

What is their tank size and how deep is the water? :)

[earthling1984]

@LeafDHNine 20gallon, 16inches or so.

[LeafDHNine]

@earthling1984 Thank you!

[kishdogg05]

Where di you get him?

[earthling1984]

@kishdogg05 ordered online from turtlesale.

[thebroadster]

@earthling1984 ok ill get one of the floating logs which they can bask on if they like to, i also hav a feature which they love its like 3-4 logs all put together which they like to climb on.

[thebroadster]

Hey finally got my common musks there tiny about 3cm long they never really bask so I'm gonna replace dock with a floating log think tht wud be good plz message back

[earthling1984]

@thebroadster wow 3cm long! That is TINY! Musks don't really bask. You should have some type of basking area in their tank incase they do want to bask; however, in the year+ I have owned my musk, I have never once seen him out of the water.

[capitolhenryband]

where did you get a texas map? a reptile show?

[earthling1984]

@capitolhenryband I ordered all my turtles online from turtlesale

[henham97]

how many crickets do u feed and how often do u feed crikest?

[earthling1984]

@henham97 I don't feed crickets very often, just like once a week tops. Sometimes I put in guppies or rosies too. Mostly they get a mix of a few types of turtle pellets.

[FOB101ful]

@earthling1984 have you ever heard of the rumor thats going around about turtle shack and turtle sale. there are people that say that they abuse their turtles and i was wondering if you new if it were true or not because i would really like to get another turtle for my female red ear slide.thankx

[earthling1984]

@FOB101ful I have heard the rumor, but I am skeptical to believe it. I really don't know one way or the other. But I do know I have ordered from them a couple times, and my turtles have lived over a year now since I got them, and they have been healthy since day one.

[lionheartrocks78]

aww

[78Bigtank]

how do you keep your tank so clean with turle

[earthling1984]

just with proper filtration and not over-feeding. Over-feeding is one of the main causes of dirty water in fish/turtle tanks. I feed plenty as you can see, but I am careful to not throw in to much that they can't finish it all.

[tekdek97]

hey can u please help me my turtle never basks and im worried about him cause he has white marks on his back n he is a baby what do i need in my setup i have plants big rocks a filter and the basking spot and lamp with the proper basking light is it because i dont have a backround please reply soon thanks

[earthling1984]

It has nothing to do with a background. you say you have a young turtle. What type of turtle? Usually if a turtle is having problems it is caused by bad water conditions.

[tekdek97]

he is a baby red eared slider turtle not sure how old and he is tiny and i have this turtle clean stuff that cleans the rocks and controls oders and it helps with the filter but i dont think that cleans the water i just got the aqua safe stuff today that takes the chemicals out of tap water is that y he is not basking because of the water has the chemicals in it reply soon thanks

[Dimunic]

you do realise....Red eared sliders....need a 100gallon aquarium?

[tekdek97]

umm yea when they get biger mine is still like 1 inch and he is in a 20 gALLON LONG WITH ANOTHER TURTLE A LITTLE SMALER THEN HIM

[BaseballCardFreek]

@tekdek97 Did you just get him? if so then he's probably jut getting used to his new home it took 6 days for my turtle to start basking he loves it now

[viisual]

lol tell me about it but I am giving a couple to my little nephew since he likes my stinkpot musk so much and its worth it since I have been waiting for my delivery...lol

[emostars71]

I ordered 4 and he could not get them out on time so he is giving me 3 free extra one's so getting 7 little babies CANT WAIT!!!!

[earthling1984]

that is a lot of turtles lol

[emostars71]

yah when I placed my order I told him a male...ill post a video when i get them

[earthling1984]

sweet, can't wait!

[emostars71]

I am gonna order a map turtle I cant wait

[earthling1984]

You get one yet? They are great turtles, staying very small(males especially - get a male!). Do remember they can live VERY long, this is no short term pet.

[SnApPyDude486]

like a texas map?

[caphits]

It is SOOOO great to have a turtle owner post a video of a nice setup. So many people just have GARBAGE.

Great video. Thanks. I needed this.

[earthling1984]

Thanks! I try to give my animals the best possible habitat I can afford!

[StrifeZer0]

turtles eat crickets?

[earthling1984]

yea. Not all turtles. Some turtles are more herbavores and eat mostly greens, some are more carnivours and eat more meats.

[362stuart]

Where did you get the texas map turtle? If you got it from a website please can you give me the link.

thanks - great video
