  • u have a tank that big.. y not use it all and put more water in thier??

  • I normally keep her water at 10-12", plenty of depth for a 4"(CL) Cumberland slider.

  • I generally have a higher water level than in the vid.

    As long as the turtle can dive off basking areas with ease and not hit the bottom, generally twice as deep as they are long is a good minimum.

  • you need to make the water abit more deeper

  • Fill up the water as high as you can without risking escape. Sliders are amazing swimmers, and love to swim too!

  • it looks like a factory!!

  • Yes. More water. Most of the tank should be water.

  • DUDE ONE QUESTION, DO U EVER GET TO SLEEP, thats gonna keep ur house soo bright at nighttime, u should get a overhanging uv bar, its better because it directs it right onto the shell, aswell raise the water level about another foot. @chilerelleno

  • na dude thats really shallow for a slider. For a 4 inch turtle you should have a full 40 gallons. and you should only be feeding her every other day or 3 times a weak. You can say i'm wrong but i can already see the pyramiding on her shell. Wayyyy too shallow though guy. Please make adjustments.

  • i think u dont need so much heaters one will do same with the basking areas. and u shud fill ur tank all the way.

  • whats the point of so many filters and so little water?? nice setup though

  • is that real plants or fake and if real wut kind

  • how do you make the basking area thingy for the terrapin to climb up?

  • more water...................
