[@emely7765]

I rescued my red eared slider from a busy parking lot. She was so unexpected so I wasn’t prepared or educated on how to take care of a turtle. I’m finally saving up money and planning to buy her a way bigger tank, lights, filter, and building her basking area! :) If you guys have any recommendations or suggestions on what to get her, that would be greatly appreciated.

[@emely7765]

@Yuvan Rayalla Thank you!! I’m planning on using a crate that’s pretty roomy, and adding some kind of padding so she won’t get stuck on the holes. I like the idea of a “on the top” basking area. I wish you the best with your turtle as well! :)

[@hedderperez8739]

I used egg crate to make my above tank basking area and my turtle and I both love the results

[@tessadean3499]

That is awesome I have a red ear slider to and I totally agree with Yuvan and I saved up for my female turtle rocky so good luck to you

[@jessicaarmstrong2404]

:) so nice hop you have a good life with your turtle

[@phoenixmerkle9872]

At pet smart there are tanks that come with every thing you would need like the lights the filter and I think also the basking area too it’s around 40 or so gallons

[@kamillthompson1098]

Hey, this is Kamill (from the first tank you reviewed today). Thank you for reviewing mine. I did get a slightly bigger basking area but I told my mom already that I am thinking about getting a bigger tank because (like you) I still feel like the tank is too small for the both of them☺️. Thank you so much. And my African Sideneck is not that good of a swimmer so that is why the water is low even though the Red Eared slider has more webbed feet for swimming.

[@TheTurtleGirl]

Oh cool! Thanks for sharing :)

[@jodisimpson7121]

@@TheTurtleGirl These turtles should not be in the same tank. as ASN and RES don't have the same needs. Please research them so you know what needs to be done so you can get the right stuff for each of them. there are some great groups on Facebook that have care sheets that might help you too.

[@kamillthompson1098]

@@jodisimpson7121 i did a lot of research prior to getting my turtles and from what i was informed, they have around the same needs and can be housed together.

[@teaganclements5569]

The turtle & fish combo I believe really depends on the turtle , my turtles (musk & painted ) where keep together as hatchlings with a couple little fish and I’ve added more as they grew and the tank upgraded and they show no interest, which really surprises me especially with the painted and pleco

[@TheTurtleGirl]

that's awesome! You're right, I do agree that it totally depends on the turtle and their personality.

I rescued my red eared slider when I was fishing last spring, I found him on the side of the lake we were fishing at. He was the size if a quarter and he was super cute. But he was unresponsive. So I took him home and treated him with the best care, and it has almost been a year since if found him and he is happy and healthy with his two goldfish friends!

Good series! The fact that you can keep making suggestions is proof positive that your input is needed. Can't wait til I have petunia's tank in a state that is sharable! She's a rescue red-ear slider that i happened to be equipped to handle and your videos have been a great help 🐙

[@TheTurtleGirl]

I'm glad to hear that Tim! Sometimes I feel as if I'm being a little too critical, especially when repeating the same things over and over, but it's all for the good of the turtle :)

[@WyvernVin]

I didn't know half the things i did when i started with my turtles, when they were little, they had gravel as bottom substrate ...they ate a ton of it, and always pooped it without issues, luckily ...this was when they were up to 1-2 years old, they are now almost 9 years old and healthy, i of course changed the substrate to something much bigger they couldn't eat (river rocks) and moved them about 6 years ago to a much bigger tank, although i don't fill it full because i'm afraid of it breaking lol so it's sitting at 40 gal for 2 RES turtles ...i'm thinking of ways to put more decor to them but still unsure because of the swiming space. Still, thanks for all the tips and advice you put out there.

Hey ! I would like to ask if a 55 gallon tank with a large no water area on top of the tank ( with basking lights ) with no filter ( I do regular water changes every 2 days ,I also feed my turtles in a different tank during feeding time cause they are messy eaters ) is an OK environment for two male southern painted turtles .

I have 125 gallons with a RES and a YBS in it so depending on the size of your RES it might be okay for now but they will need to need a much bigger tank and please watch them because they do better alone and might fight. Know that you might as some point need to split them up.

Once I get it am planning to name is squirtle (from Pokémon), or Oogway from Kung Fu Panda. Also, I have been wondering that if decretive rocks will be good as substrate. By decretive rocks I mean like the ones you might see outside by a tree or like under a porch.

[@felixgaming3236]

For baby turtles you should feed them everyday. Personally I think meal worms could be an occasional treat, but I'm not sure. You should feed them veggies and pellets because they're so young.

Mealworms are a good occasional treat, but pellets are the best staple. You can feed every day :)

@@TheTurtleGirl Yes, thank you, I have watched that video. I did a 20% water change once a week and scrubbed all the decorations and plastic plants with a toothbrush every second day, because after 3 days, it would be covered in algae again.
