My musk, reeves, painted, and ? turtles :) Not 100% sure what the 4th turtle is because it was given to me from a friend who no longer could care for it.

  • Hey man love the vids. I am interested in getting a turtle or turtles for my classroom and have limited space. What do you think would be some good choices in turtles as well as the needed tanks(etc). If you could bestow some knowledge on me I would greatly appreciate it! Keep the videos comming :)

  • @matt30512 musks or eastern&southern paiunted are fairly common, and if you get a male will only get 6inches tops. You can do with a 40gallon(30gallon to start maybe, but I'd recommend at least 40gallon for the whole life of turtle). Get UVB light, good filtration, and I would leave the bottom bare, or use large rocks. Have the water temp in the low 70's, and basking area in the mid to high 80's. Make sure basking area is compeltely try. Remember turtles can live for decades!

  • What happened to the Texas map turtle

  • @PeterPenguin0417 he died, I did a video on it when he died.

  • The tank must be cycled before anything can be kept in it right?

  • @herp45 yes, this should be done with any aquarium. for fish, turtles, newts, any animal in water.

  • treat the shell rot goon

  • i luv your work

  • @earthling1984 Thanks alot man I actually just went ahead and purchased some of the basics off of Craiglist. Found a nice 55 gallon. Now on that note, what would be a good filtration system to run this on...and if you can think of some that would be on the more inexpensive side that would be great. I am utilizing ebay and craigslist too however. On any of the other supplies you mentioned is there any prefered brands that you trust over others? I'm eager for info :)
