  • @lunarheart14 yes put very lightly because turtle shells have nerve endings in there shell and can feel everything that you do to it (:

  • @BB117JUNKIE I like you (:

  • LOL my algaue eater does that for me, he just goes on my turtles back and does the job

  • if you use spring water in your tank (clean regularly) but use a feeding tank (empty daily & fill with same temp water thats in their tank) your turtle should stay free of algae. dont hold them, just transfer them to their feeding tank for an hour or 2 a day. i love my turtles and i will respect them to do whats best for them

  • Some kinds of algae can grow under the scales and harm the turtle. That happened to my turtle. She acted really sick and I cleaned her shell with Dove and a soft toothbrush and she brightened up almost immediately after.

  • i use a toothbrush

  • As long as their enclosure is kept free of algae, then the turtle will become algae free.

  • @beaner1196 I heard that from tim aswell.

  • hello my name is tim coll and i dont know shit about turtles and i suk dick for a living

  • who hired this nigga
