40 Gallon Alligator Snapping Turtle Tank Setup!

[@crisp7018]

No other comments ok... just wanted to say that I love this channel and I wish this guy 10 mil

[@ShelledReptiles]

Thank you!

[@MrJoe478]

Love him when he gets twice as big.

[@Shaden0040]

to prevent sand getting into the intake pipe, place pea gravel in that 1/4 of the floor and place the sand in the other 3/4 of the tank. Silicon a 1/2 high piece of plastic from front to back along the bottom to separate the gravel and sand. Also if you plant any plants place them in small clay pots. place a piece of newspaper folded over twice on the bottom to cover up the drainage hole, then fill 2/3 with dirt, then cover with either sand or pea gravel, then plant your stem or drown plants. You can also plant bulbs or tubers in the pots but put them in the soil then add the gravel to cover them.

Do you have any pictures?

[@docfmb1]

Nice job, looks great. Never seen a turtle that looks like that before.

[@KrakendoYT]

[@brodystone]

Been here since the beginning, still pumping out great content! Favorite desert, hmm, that's hard... Probably pumpkin pie. Lol keep being awesome dude✌️

[@ShelledReptiles]

Hey man! Glad to see your still watching the vids! Thanks!

[@MGk-Farmer]

Same been here it seems like forever.

[@ShelledReptiles]

low self-esteem Y’all are real ones 👌🏼

[@moniquecohen127]

I love your videos! Been watching you grow up the last 5 years! I’m proud of you! My favorite dessert is Boston Cream Pie! Two layer yellow cake with vanilla custard pudding in between and covered with thick dark chocolate icing! So yum!!

[@allendeufriend6930]

Lowering the glass at one end is a great idea for getting your filter at the right height I’m gonna do that so as I get off work today thanks for your vids

[@Dyno_64]

I didn't really know what an alligator snapper is, so I was quite impressed when I saw him, it's a really cool looking turtle!

[@rumo8306]

Awesome Job and awesome video! 👍🏻

[@alexanderdrummond7603]

Chocolate Mousse without whip cream. Great set up. Corbet is out of this world. Great close-ups. You cold give him his own channel!

[@ShelledReptiles]

Alexander Drummond Thank you!

[@ocgmike132]

i just smacked a stinkbug out of mid air

[@donniehutcheson3283]

Absolutely love this. I’m actually getting a baby snapper. How did you cut it for the filter ? That’s awesome ! 👍👍

[@catalinapraxedis]

Corvid is so beautiful!

[@parimalsingha62]

Amazing bro , very beutiful set up

[@145gladiator]

Cheesecake for sure lol I just got my first snapping turtle and am trying to figure everything out so this has been a big help!

[@sonderstudios6675]

How do you clean the poop in all the areas of the tank?

[@RapidReptiles13]

Shrimp or cleaner fish,gravel vacuums work too

[@xilingsinqueso]

Such a cool turtle!

Cool tank, are you Amish or like a really big Wolverine fan?

[@rileyschirtzinger9702]

The tank looks sweet!!! Corvid is such a cool looking turtle! Loved the video. My favorite dessert is probably cookies

[@allendeufriend6930]

When I watched this video I cut my 40 breeder down and used the same filter thank you for the idea

[@ginahampton2129]

Nice home for your little turtle!! Love the video!

[@leahzYT]

Hi! I really like the gravel you used in the beginning, where did you get it?

[@DIYReptiles]

This is a very cool enclosure! I think you did a fantastic job! Especially the drift wood. It is probably my favorite part. I have quite a lot of experience with Marineland filters. I have had a couple for a couple of years. The biowheel tends to just stop spinning after a while. Also the filters tend to start to make a ton of noice. It is not the water sound, but just them running becomes very loud. I will definitely not be buying anymore Marineland filters, but that is just my experience with them. Anyway, I enjoyed the video! Also, I rarely eat sweets, but on holidays I eat pie.

[@anastasiyaMATUS]

Need help! Have a baby snapping turtle. It's a rescue. Ive had it for a few weeks now. It's the size of a half dollar coin. So it's small. It stopped eating yesterday. It ate a small piece of worm in the morning and thats it. I've tried different food and tried soaking pallets in tuna juice and etc. Hes not interested at all and just hides in the sand. Sometimes it looks like he's trying to get out. Digging in one corner of the aquarium. How can I help him?

[@richardhincemon9423]

Try giving it live food.

[@Shaden0040]

If you can get a hold of some Watersprite/Indian Fern, floating plants, get some for this tank. They absorb nitrates like mad. As good as Pothos, plus they grow their own daughter plants which you can remove and feed to your turtles and tortoises as supplemental food. Also add some pond snails as clean up crew, and maybe some ghost shrimps, and they will double as extra food sources.

[@Rawkzo]

Should add a purchase list with links to your build. Link for tank, your filter, etc. Would help people trying to setup their own tanks. Thanks for the vid.

[@pebblesg4577]

I am new to a alagator snapping turtle my son found one In the creek and we have had him for 1½ years how often do u feed we don't have fish in his tank we feed a turtle shrimp mix food that we get from the pet store please help I'm confused thank u for ur time

[@mitchfollis3939]

I have one currently and feed everyday some wirms from the yard and minnows from my local creek

[@AnimalPapaStudios]

Like 143! How are you? Such a cool turtle! Love the setup too! Hope all is well with you! Take care and God bless you and the turtles! Animal Papa and Junior! 🐾🐢🙏

[@piteusx8440]

Great set up.

[@visy2070]

Where would you get these guys?

[@charlottefindley742]

Sorry if it's a silly question but as they get bigger do they go in a deeper tank ( I no he's young now ) just curious xxxxx

[@MGk-Farmer]

My favorite dessert is mint chocolate chip blue bells ice cream it's so good. And your snapping turtle is growing really good i bet he'll be so happy in that setup.

[@ShelledReptiles]

Thank you! Yes he is

[@andrew71888]

How the heck did you cut that glass? Fine work sir! My favorite dessert is Fried Oreos!

[@ShelledReptiles]

It was actually pre-made like that, specifically for turtles😄

[@SENelson0313]

@@ShelledReptiles Where did you get it from? Thanks!

[@heathermarie4160]

Where did you purchase the pre cut tank? That's awesome!!

[@anmbailey6776]

How did your tank water stay so clear with sand in it

[@penwellbrett]

Im struggling to get my water clean and clear for my snapper. Ive washed the sand rocks and hides. Any tips?

[@stevendouglas3371]

Hey there, what's your opinion on the 50 gallon Zoomed low boy for a project like this

[@belizeguy]

Really nice set up!! He has really grown since he arrived! Congratulations! Dessert? I live in Mexico, and my favorite dessert is Traditional Flan. It is an egg custard with a caramel top. If done right, it takes hours to cook and is delicious. Many folks take short cuts, and it is never as good!

[@galacticvlogging7574]

My favorite desert is.....ice cream, cake and CUPCAKES

[@crajones35]

how did you do that cut out on the side of the tank for the filter?

[@avejit_popi]

Do you need like any declaration stuff for a snapping turtle

[@allenthomad5572]

How did you cut the side of the tank to install the filter like that?

[@KareFreee]

1:44 you don’t have to explain those, that’s the shit that nemo threw a pebble at

[@aurora_dawn123]

That's a good looking setup, I might make something similar to this for my common snappers.

[@kiotewolfer3278]

Quick question how fast has your snapper been growing. Id love to get 1 but if im gonna have to go from a 75 to a 150 in 6 months. Ill refrain

[@RapidReptiles13]

They grow about an inch per year

[@Eddiebnyc1990]

wow he is awesome!! i have a peninsula cooter and a painted turtle

[@Deereal28]

What type of sand ? Did u have to wash it ?

[@robertalijr1148]

where did you get him?

[@failedbodybuilder2899]

Did you cycle the tank?

[@guts8909]

how do you clean it without the sand getting caught in the vacuum ?

[@catalinapraxedis]

dessert? chocolate cake! and chocolate ice cream

[@KH1Network]

So where u get the tank and filter

[@trishahathaway1122]

No Bake Cheesecake, graham cracker crust, topped off with cherry pie filling.... Question, if I may... Where would I be able to order that tank, or something ultra similar? All my searches have come up empty, in terms of finding a tank like Corvid's... SO jealous 😎.... Our snapper, we've had for a year in October..He's is a little smaller than Corvid, and super ready for more space. He's in a 20gallon currently. Appreciate any help and seriously, awesome job on the setup. Looks damn good.

[@skeltonslay8er781]

Do milkshakes count as a desert? If so they’re my favorite. Where does someone get a pet snapping turtle?
