Spiny Soft Shell Turtle Aquarium Set Up - Food Tray basking burying tray.

[@lukeyates4242]

hey man i gotta say you killed it i did this for my softshell and it is amazing but with a dowel to hang it.

[@mikeflo2089]

What a fun looking setup . Bet you have fun with it

[@jodyschottler6961]

I've only had my hatchling for two weeks now, and I am excited to try this idea.i don't have any sand so I will now.great idea,and perfect if you ask me.thank you!!!

[@pan4941]

Oh god, both of them are cute! they're just like my turtles Nari(RES) & Sofitel(SoftShelled). At first I didn't want to buy a softshelled coz it might not get along with my RES but when I first saw Sofitel peeked his head up from the sand at the petstore I just fell in love. And I'm glad I bought him. He get along with Nari quiet well, and it's really cute whenever they bask together. Sometimes he's on top of Nari sometimes they're aligned on the log. :)

[@romelalonzotaban1124]

how much and how big was sofitel? had mine caught in the river and kept it as pet his name is Pong and was very agressive.

[@tammyhicks7281]

I just accidentally caught one today while hunting for crawl dad's for my slider turtle. Thanks for this video. Great idea!!!

[@TheSDATuba39]

I love how the soft shell acts. One of my turtles will climb up our rock piece that has the filter inside it and he loves to just jump off it. It’s hilarious and annoying.

[@tomvroman7320]

Very good idea, I'm just trying to figure out how your filter setup works. Thanks

[@DaizyRowden]

I have A map turtle AND a softshell aswell, mines a spiney female softshell!!

[@morganbrim6601]

I think they'd turtles are so cute

[@ktc1215]

I’d be curious to see the current day set up. I’ve had my soft shell for about 6 years now and she will outgrown even my biggest tank.

[@GingerFishey]

If you really wanna spoil a turtle get a 300 gallon stock tank or bait tank much cheaper than aquariums and you just hang the lights or make a chicken wire/wood lid idk if you still need to know this

[@nationalist1969]

It looks to me like it would be easy for turtles to escape from the tank.

[@PRIME.EXE_]

Soft shells don't typically leave water

[@lorielhassani]

Dude....the first day I brought my softshell home...she found her way DOWN TWO FLIGHTS OF STAIRS! I was lucky I found her!

[@GingerFishey]

@@lorielhassani I put a bunch clean of barbecue racks over my cage because my soft shell climbed out once and I found her on the ground poor girl was probably just curious and fell

[@ashcan6]

@@PRIME.EXE_ They do. I found out the hard way when my huge spiny soft shell threw itself six feet to its death. Some cute red eared slider shawty ain’t want him, he got all in his mood.😢. For real, though- I tried a few times to keep that particular spiny and a few hatchling Florida soft shells in a huge all aquatic setup with a similar sized alligator snapper. The soft shelled turtles were always jumping out, like tri weekly. So- yeah, they are totally going to jump out of this setup, it is inevitable. It’s also waaay too small, well done, but too small. Those two animals are going to need at least a 75, bare minimum.

[@ashcan6]

PS- Tankmates: Cichlids are great, larger oddballs, DEFINITELY large bottom dwelling cleanup crew catfish, silver dollars, and red(not black) pacu if you own a lake. Cheers.

[@reliablethreat23]

Soft shell turtles are cool!

[@leonhatton7585]

This is genius you would make MacGyver proud

[@Saved_Sinner0085]

Broo you need way more sand for that softshell that is completely submerged, but this is a great setup besides that.

[@harleykostuk5889]

Great idea going to steel it suggest updating the metal hangers to plastic the rust is bad for the water quality

[@nicoleonyourtube1488]

Hello! New subscriber here and I hope you don't mind that I'm going to take most of your ideas on your setup. I'm getting my son a solfshell for Christmas. Thank you very much for this video 😁

[@justsaffierzalto]

their so cute and it is a really creative idea! :3

[@desireeraney1015]

What kind of turtle is the one on the bottom of the tank? I have one just like it and I’m unsure of what kind he is

[@jasonhiggins.3853]

Dude would you have any idea what the white hair like algae is on my baby soft shell turtles? They are only about 1 inch diameter and i have had them for about 2 months. They are now covered in white fur like stuff???? They are still totally active and eating as normal. This white stuff is all over their faces, necks & feet. its not on the shell...any advice would be good..Thanks

[@ericarichardson6582]

I love the set up.... thanks for sharing.... will try this when I get a soft shell turtle. I had some ideas using some fridge trays and your video helped me to figure out how to get it done. is the rusting hanger an issue for your turtle?

[@BettsFlyFishing]

I changed afterwards to stainless steel wire hangers. Much better.

[@monkeyhugs2434]

Don't you need both UVB & UVA light for both those turtles?

[@s.linastaffords6744]

My soft shell never basks but always buries himself in the sand

[@battleofcharacters3723]

What size is the fish tank?

[@c3reptiles578]

So she never not once climbed out? Scaped?

[@kaylilly1760]

Hey what do you feed them, also what filter and light do you use?

[@jamesstock7882]

Hey mate this actually a great idea for feeding

[@luunor]

Almost all soft shell turtles bury them selves in the sand:-)

[@Saved_Sinner0085]

I need that basking accessories

[@yoshibricks8736]

How many gallons is your tank

[@rajveersinghbabra3134]

Can I keep them with fishes

[@yenyaoming]

She doesn't try to bite you? I read that they're very aggressive turtles.

[@rachelo315]

Won't she outgrow this tank?

[@toric.1645]

How can you tell the different gender on a spiny softshell

[@PRIME.EXE_]

Females are considerably larger than males

[@BettsFlyFishing]

The spot patterns. Females have a mottled pattern. Males have circles. Females grow much larger.

[@theschneider9716]

Also the females have really short tails that dont go past the back of their shell.

[@BettsFlyFishing]

@@theschneider9716 Very cool. Did not know that.

[@victoriacobarrubio5612]

What kind of filter do you have

[@romelalonzotaban1124]

i was trying to look on any fish that could add in my tank softshells are agressive was wondering why he was not attacking your fish

[@BettsFlyFishing]

She loves Ghost Shrimp.

[@rengarmain5655]

how can he not escape there and how he not eat fishs. I have a chinese softshell and she eat fish and try to escape all of times.

[@royalpotato8931]

Why didn’t your soft shell just climb out?

[@loganbyrne8442]

What gallon tank? How about pump?

[@Mariofredx]

55 gallon tank

[@icebergseven]

She doesn’t escape?!?! One of mine climbed out twice without top covered around entire rim.

[@BettsFlyFishing]

She never even tried to get out. She gets excited for me to rub her shell when I get home from work. She's like a puppy!!

[@jaycevessier7554]

How do they not climb out the tank?

[@BettsFlyFishing]

The lip edge is just enough that that they can't get out. I've never had one escape.

[@shockj2000]

Won’t be long before he’s out. Happened to mine

[@s.linastaffords6744]

Mine used to climb out the tank constantly....come home and he’s hiding under the couch..... but he would never bask 🤦‍♂️

[@fuzerizado]

My uncle has one in his 500 gallon aquarium

[@What5.7-o7c]

I just found one of those rn

[@crimereaper6362]

Keep more up

[@s.linastaffords6744]

My soft shell never basks but loves sand. He buries himself in the sand

[@Pedongsyano]

wow!

[@HIVETIME]

I subbed

[@joaoeanaturezaselvagem9783]

Trionix like

[@samanthawages2865]

I hate to tell you but that's not a female softshell that's a male females have just have dots and males have circles

[@artmakersworlds]

Great set up you have there. Those can be So messy. Hope you have a plan for when she grows up. Here, I actually found one in lake Michigan few years back and video'd it. You might appreciate this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWq9qZaCl6-HrKs
