What an amazing set up! I’m sure they are loving it so much. Lucky turtles!

[@Yurki167]

Would use plexiglass on all sides. I think they are able to climb on that mesh.

[@alvan2196]

my turtle able to climb higher than that wire

[@dixieraindrop3499]

I bought the stuff to build this today. Building this today for my 125 gallon aquarium. Best idea I've seen. Her basking area is on the other side of my tank. LOVE THIS!!

[@tansyraindrop3974]

I made one of these for my 125 gallon tank. I just finished it today. So happy with it!! I also used peet moss and sand. Your's was my inspiration for this..

[@terrapinlover9091]

Amazing set up! Well done. Lucky turtles!

[@josephlee4337]

Wow, what a great job you did. If I' were to return a turtle in my next life I'll make sure I find you as my keeper. :)

[@mercedesllerena5471]

Jajajaja....

[@jmaxbeat1]

Beautiful setup

[@kristanbrice5046]

Gusion the perfect combination of might and magic

[@pinellasexoticreptiles8707]

Thanks for doing the video. Very educational. I did the same mixture of sustrate for my waterland tub for my adult Albino sliders. My babies are selling fast but here in the next few days, I plan to get their tank the same way.

[@dickwong69]

Dude that is SO boss - much respect

[@kristanbrice5046]

You just said the perfect combination

[@bigdaisy84]

Awesome setup dude. Looks very nice

[@ChallengetheWild]

Wow thats so awesome!!!

[@colmarkvlogs]

Good job for turtle ,coz i love turtle

[@parkerkennedy1732]

Love the turtle content, keep it up man!

[@Sgaby2000]

could you write down the materials for this? i have a proyect and im using this video like a guide, it would really help me if you wrote it down, thank you.

[@jackpepper2501]

Great work!

[@samzetnick4558]

So so helpful! 4 Questions for ya @GregJones : 1. Would you suggest this kind of method for red eared sliders as well for a nesting box? 2. What is the minimum amount of space that you would say would be adequate for a nesting area? 3. Lastly, how do you know your turtle is pregnant? I know that turtles lay eggs both fertile (from mating) and non-fertile (non-mating). I have 3 baby Red Eared Sliders right now, two boys and one girl. They are only about five months old, but trying to get prepared and educated for future! 4. Lastly, if I don't want them to mate (I can't afford to do that as of now), do you have any recommendations on how to best separate males and females? Thank you for your help!!

[@AviaryBirdsAndCo]

Awesome Video!

[@savagebengalentertainment5668]

Thats a nice build i like it

[@johnvukelich2316]

Pretty cool!

[@Ochibason]

Thanks Perfect! Got same mix tub will be setting up next to raised pond! Was he being anxiety issues on what to use to guide channel them in and out. Great idea! UPDATE! New to your channel. Have NDBT first time 2 girls for now.

[@KT_SEEN2]

How long does it take for eggs to develop after matting ? Great video building one soon we have west african side neck mud turtles

[@TheLovatt123]

Great video. Did you ever try to hatch the eggs naturally by leaving them in the dirt under the lamp or do they have to go into an incubator?

[@kg2nc]

On the other video I ask what did you use for the substrate in the nesting aria now I know. Lol thanks for sharing. Very nice man.

[@iandurias2057]

good job man

[@jfarinacci0329]

good job, thank you.

[@DBlanco48]

Very useful!! I appreciate it!!

[@coinch]

how old trotis give egg like 1 year 2 year after????

[@robertjordan6475]

What substrates did you use?

[@seehongkongsea]

Did they hatch???

[@GNJsAquaticNation]

Very nice Build.

[@washere9749]

Beautiful I like it... what sand u used

[@gregjonesonline]

a 50/50 mix of play sand and peat moss works best

[@galableidere8736]

Ps I only had these turtles for one week and three days and I don't know how to set up the ramp since my tank is on a desk also how much sit that pond cost

[@haeunchoi5230]

Hello! My turtle laid 4 eggs in the water yesterday. So I am not sure if she is going to lay more eggs later. I was wondering if I should make the nesting box with soil inside of it. If I do, do I have to connect the water tank with the nesting box? I would really appreciate it if you can answer my question asap! Thank you! (The turtle is inside the water tank right now.)

[@gregjonesonline]

if you move the eggs into an incubator they may live, all adult females need a nesting box attached to their water habitat regardless of if a male is present, hope that helps!

[@haeunchoi5230]

+Greg Jones (Greg's Fishroom) This is her first time laying eggs. Are there chances that she will lay more eggs?

[@gregjonesonline]

+Haeun Choi yes, she could be holding more, and she is likely to lay again, I'd make a nesting box a top priority

[@haeunchoi5230]

+Greg Jones (Greg's Fishroom) Does it has to be pure soil or can there be some rocks too?

[@retiredfdnyhm1]

Where did you buy the black hardware mesh?

[@californiapyro9885]

hey i have a question do you need soil or just dirt to have your turtle lay the eggs

[@gregjonesonline]

Rick V a mix of peat moss and sand is preferred

[@californiapyro9885]

thank you so much so just dirt and moss and is it good if i get dirt from my yard

[@michaeljones7352]

Thank you so much my female is pregnant as well and your idea we the best again i thank you so much and when my turtle lays her eggs what do i do .Do i just leave her eggs there or put them in a different room please try to respond to my question asap i think she will lay her eggs a week or two from now

[@justindaugherty1225]

Did the turtle ever lay eggs?

[@gregjonesonline]

false alarm, unfortunately

[@Ochibason]

Update

[@Risici_Bloom]

What was the name of the substrate you mixed with the sand?

[@gregjonesonline]

50/50 mix of peat moss and play sand, you can get both at your big box hardware stores

[@fannyhercules1397]

This is beutiful💕💕🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🙏

[@leehodge2415]

I built this, almost verbatim. They dont use it. Ever... I had to put my 55gal aquarium up 1/2 filled w peet moss and sand mix. Put her in the tank, cover so she doesn't escape, and leave for 2 hours. I weighed her before and after to see if I need to go digging. Cheers

[@tammyfry9250]

Where have you been? I'm loving your videos!

[@Medina0526]

where did you get the pond?

[@yashkaranjkar4749]

hello Greg I want to know what's the ponds name

[@galableidere8736]

I have to baby musk turtles I don't know if they are female and male but... Do you have any tips? Also I subscribed

[@fannyhercules1397]

What size is the water tub?

[@jacobmallinson6574]

Can it be made from PVC Pipes?

[@alexwick6389]

What are those little fish in the turtle tank?

[@alexwick6389]

Nother mind I saw you other video:)

[@Wildscat724]

once your turtle lays eggs what do you do then do u just what for them to hatch

[@gregjonesonline]

+Dylan the awesome most people will place them in an incubator, google "ghettobator" for a diy cooler made into an incubator

[@jadyncarter2665]

2020 anyone?

[@7thheaven601]

They can fall off that plank bridge.

[@diosmerygonzalez4900]

nice

[@pieceofyoutube2804]

Can the male turtle and the female be in the same tank when she's pregnant and getting ready to lay her eggs?

[@panzerpete3977]

What brand is that large water trough?

[@panzerpete3977]

Never mind. Rubbermaid.

[@julianchristie2540]

oorrrr.... u could just add pebbles to the entrance area to allow some of the dirt to settle off them before the jump in

[@JackiesTurtles]

Great JOB!!!! Do they try to climb the mesh fence?

[@Wildscat724]

would it be possible to leave the eggs in the den I am not going to but would they still hatch?

[@gregjonesonline]

+Dylan the awesome if the temperature and humidity stay within acceptable ranges they will hatch, but its hard to regulate outside of an incubator

[@Wildscat724]

Yah thanks

[@JrPlaz]

I like what you did make me one

[@JrPlaz]

do you need a 300 gallon tank can you make it out of a 5 or 10gallon tank?

[@rey2974]

Hatchlings don't lay eggs, or mate anyway...

[@fishfinesser506]

what?

[@hddh556]

+Turtle Trail she wasn't asking about that stfu

[@mr.fishman4640]

+hd dh he was answering the question about the 5 or 10 gallon you idiot why not read and make sure you know what your replying to before you reply better yet practice what you preach

[@fishfinesser506]

yes you can just use a smaller tub and the tank might tip over if its too big.

[@brans7269]

The setup is very good BUT the incline is to much that's why the turtles don't get out to bask it need to be more like an island and they will use it a lot

[@gregjonesonline]

they mostly bask on the wood ramp where they have a direct escape route back into the water, i may re-arrange things and will keep this in mind, thanks,

[@DrayDay134]

Hey!! I have two yellow bellied sliders, I am pretty sure that the female turtle is pregnant and I have been trying to create a nesting area for her for the last year or so. I live in an apartment and don't have many options for creating a nesting area. Do anyone have any suggestions or ideas to help solve this problem? Help would be greatly appreciated!

[@gregjonesonline]

you can add a plastic bin to one side of the aquarium and fill it with a sand/peat mix, then build a ramp to get into it

[@DrayDay134]

Thank you for the quick reply, fortunatly I dedicated a 45 gallon tank for her nesting area! I bring her to it the days when I'm home and the water tank has a decent sized basking area. Hopefully she'll lay the eggs soon!

[@Medina0526]

drayke jackson hi, did she layed her eggs?

[@jessietilos7459]

My using a berme

[@surajsahoo649]

Did it worked out for you?

[@nikolabrankovic1124]

What's the that turtle breed??

[@rey2974]

[@Medina0526]

MagicRabbit hi, i have a turtles and u dont know what type of turtle it is. can u help me?

[@aipomsonito33]

how do you tell if you have a male or female

[@chinoespinoza7801]

the girls are all ways bigger and have a bigger shill and they are more round

[@trinhvu395]

Is it a tortoise or a turtle

[@trinhvu395]

How can you tell

[@gregjonesonline]

+Trinh Vu it's an aquatic turtle, anyone keeping a turtle or tortoise should know the difference before deciding to care for an animal

[@aleidabianchi1434]

I did it too. This is what I used Woodglut designs for

[@naturepetsandanimal2963]

[@highroller8877]

your turtles will probably climb up the mesh walls and they could climb up and fall out and that would end badly for a turtle(s) i have seen my turtle climb all the way to the top of a screen mesh fly screen door so i know they can climb that high

[@gregjonesonline]

i'll take a second look at it, have any suggestions on how to improve?

[@highroller8877]

***** only thing i can think of is plexi glass or real glass, maybe if you could find some cheap cracked aquariums off of craiglist and resuse pieces from them, and maybe set up a web cam near there and see if they are even interested in trying to climb out , they may not be interested in trying to climb it

[@gregjonesonline]

Michael O'Reilly i haven't seen them trying to escape yet, but it doesn't mean it won't happen, i may custom cut a few pieces of acrylic to match the shape of the transition from nesting box to stock tank and install them parallel to the ramp, thanks!
