Nice job on the tank Dan. Your hatchlings are so adorable. Very active too.

[@coopercirillo7057]

Yo literally my sister just surprised me with a turtle and I had to wip up a enclosure for him, luckily I was planning on getting one and had a tank and some supplies. Thanks so much your videos are very funny! And smart man stay in school.

[@jules1011]

Yay for all Moms everywhere!! Dan, thanks so much for responding so quickly to a very excited and talkative ol lady that is about to get her very first DBT! Omg I cannot wait! Working on a name, since Terrapins are State critter for Maryland I’m looking through famous folks from there. We’ll see what I end up with. Thank you again and love seeing the little munchkins, they’re growing so fast 💚💚💚💚

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

I'm so excited for you!!!! Happy to talk anytime ☺️☺️

Great video man! The tank turned out amazing can’t wait to see the new additions

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Thank you!!! The new ones are...insane...

[@aoooxl9859]

😍😍😍 love the black paint

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Thank you! Me too

[@Mint-cf4vo]

I'm going to be building something similar this week! The plan is to get a 75 gal aquarium since they're super cheap rn and put in some baby cichlids I'm getting from a friend. I'm hoping that the 75 can comfortably hold them and 2 western painted turtle hatchlings but if not I'll just use a stock tank for the turtles lol

[@turtleyshelltastic]

Yay for turtles

[@casadefinch894]

Awesome video like always. Some of the best turtle info on KZbin. I will use glass tanks for my hatchlings specially when they are very young, 10 or 20 gallons but I also have some small tubs which work well too, both have pros and cons and since it's not a permanent home for them you really can't got wrong. Keep up the good work!

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Exactly!!!! Thanks buddy ☺️

[@crisp7018]

Hello! Would a wall aquarium be a bad idea because I’ve seen it been done before but I want your take on it. What is your opinion on wall aquariums and are they safe?

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

I'd say they're fine as long as they're structurally sound and you can fit a basking platform/lamp without hazard!

[@williamwalton7644]

Good job keep up the great work dude!!!!!

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Thanks man! 💪🐢

[@williamwalton7644]

Dan which plants are best for sliders...!!??

[@BILALRAUF1]

Hey Dan, where did you bought this racks from? Do you have the link or something please?

[@denverfan88]

With hatchling res how long after hatchling can they go into something like this?

[@bazzz1467]

BROOOOOOOOOOO

[@groton5376]

U use turtle fix? If not it’s some great stuff

[@clydet9169]

Hey Dan my biggest of three males I guess is acting out! The claws are out in front of his head as he faces the other two; what does that mean??

[@anakehoe1870]

Hi Dan! I love your vids! You help expand my knowledge on turtles and how to care for them. Also I am planning on getting a new turtle, I've had box turtles, and yellow belly slider turtles in the past. I wanted to try a new species, any recommendations? Also who is the best online turtle store to order from, I have only ordered once online from myturtlestore.com and they were pretty good about taking care of the turtle they sent me. But I don't know if they're are better stores out there that take good care of their turtles and have a wide variety of species.

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKbOd3iieNycatE Try watching this! As for species, painteds are relatively friendly, Reeves, maps are shy but stay small (males), I also have a video on best pet turtles! Check that out

[@stephaniev8885]

@dantheturtleman what type of bulb do you have in your lamp?

[@casadefinch894]

Also just a little trick I use, if you want to possibly use the tank for something else after turtles grow out, you can tape black construction paper to the sides for same effect

[@DEATH--RAY]

Awww That's a very good tank. Thnks for sharing it. Why don't you make a discord account dann Sorry I am a kid so I can't pay in patron. so if you thought if you make a discord account we can talk there.

[@SaLazerSSB]

Nice set up !!

[@davisbenn2179]

Lol in the past I have just used construction paper to black it out if I am not making a rock background. Wayyyyyyy quicker

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

I thought about that, but felt like messing with paint would be fun 🤣

[@irmanalesha7147]

Dan..where can i buy DBT??

[@e.k4819]

That was so helpful I am planning on rescuing a turtle I saw and I I only have cats so I had no idea how to take care of it

[@greed1517]

Yo!!

[@StormSylvia]

Hi! New turtle mom here, just wondering if there was a reason you painted your tank, or if it's just because it looks awesome!

[@muskturtlelover7299]

Turtles can become stressed out in glass tank where they can see out of the tank and try to swim out but obviously can’t so it’s better to paint all sides black or have a all black tub so they don’t get stressed

[@shade_wolf09]

where can i buy a diamondback terrapin in Wisconsin

[@satryadewantara874]

Hey, can I put Red Eared Sliders and Diamondback Terrapins in a same tank? since DBT need brackish water

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

DBT don't need brackish water if raised in freshwater!

[@dredd6390]

Where can I get a baby diamondback terrapin? They are so hard to find, especially to find them freshwater grown. Can anyone help me?

[@bradyforpresident27]

Just google it. I would recommend underground reptiles or tortoise town.

[@jorgealvarez2248]

Would you recommend a brand of tanks or are they all the same

[@RioCahyadiDrayka]

There is no specific brand for aquarium to keep a turtle (even those on craigslist can work). What really matter is how much water it can hold. But if you want to keep aquatic turtle with some planted / scaped tank, then try to find a low iron glass one.

[@WitherLackrimore]

What kind of turtles are they?

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Diamondback Terrapins!

[@WitherLackrimore]

Wow three / years hmm ok can you comment to my comment well because I want you to tell me how to keep a painted turtle i got one yesterday I know how to care for it bot I want you to tell me if you can do a turtle vid that is not a tarpon yes or know

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Checkout my playlist "turtle basics" and it'll help you learn the basics for your turtle!

[@daxmiles7759]

Thank you so much🙏

[@CopperCanyonTerrapins]

The key is clean, warm water (78 degreesish) and plenty of UVB and heat to bask (basking temp should be between 90-100 degrees) so they can dry out completely.

[@stephenroselli]
