I know this video is like three years old, but I literally just watched it and thank you so much. I just got my first aquatic turtle ever and this video really helped me get my tank set up the right way and help me understand the proper caring for this beautiful creature thank you so much for your video
@@KillaZilla99 thanks for asking, Urkel the turtle is doing good. I occasionally get him fish for a snack although I’ve learned that goldfish are unhealthy for them so I usually just get him some minnows.
@@kyeskyy nice, what species is he? i just got a hatchling eastern painted turtle and a hatchling florida red belly, i’m trying to make sure i take care of them properly as well
My Mississippi Map Turtle is almost a year old and had only a 30 gallon tank but for Christmas I’m excited she gets a new tank,decor,and new filter. I’m soon getting her a big out of the tank basking area and I’m gonna upgrade her to make it better
Thank you for all of this info. We are getting a turtle on Friday and I needed to know what to do. So thank you for making sure my new baby doesn't die by properly eduaring me.
Thank you so much, helps me so much, truly making a difference and so accurate truly beyond your own ubderstanding, of your measure!! Thank you!! I promise to keep my turtle safe.
So true Biodude. Too many people can't take care of aquatic turtles. If someone wants one that can love it's life in a 40 gallon breeder get a musk turtle. It will need really good filtration though. I got a Loggerhead Musk and they have a lot of personality.
Also guys if you get a musk they generally do well with other fish. They aren't as good of swimmers as red eared sliders or maps. I have experimented with a few. Some people recommend cichlids but they have a reputation of going after turtles eyes so I won't use them. I use neons. I can't guarantee their safety but my Loggerhead does not go after them so I lucked out.
Omg this is great I had someone give me a turtle they knew nothing about the turtle age type anything but they gave . I’m gonna buy all this stuff!!! Did some research found out it’s a wa Tucci map turtle I know nothing but whan to make scoot, ( named it after it shell).
Hey biodude! You said when there small to do the frozen but what do we do when they get bigger? Wouldnt the frozen be to small for them at that point? The store down the street have full grown adults and I want him I have the 175 gallon, pond filter, and ordering decor now but idk what I would Feed it or where that stuff may be available. Would feeder guppys work as a replacement for the frozen?
Yeaaaaaa josh is back hey and he is not waring a mask I love it !!!! So glad ur back bro!!! Yea turtles are messy I had some for years but yea they dirty lol
I was just gifted 2 of these little guys. I think they're about a year and a half old. They seem to really suck at swimming. I heard prior owner setup was almost like a shallow river so they didn't have to swim much. Should I be worried putting them in the mount of water you show or can I just have faith they'll figure it out? Also any tips on setting up for a Kuangtung turtle? There's just about no info out there for them.
A five-inch male needs a minimum of a 55 gallon, not 75. However, it is much more comfortable for both you and the turtle to have a turtle of that size in a larger aqurium.
I need trumpet pods I spoke with Sarah excellent customer service by the way .she told me you guys have them but your web site says there unavailable that's another reason to put them on amazon. If You're store is out of stock I can still go on amazon get the product while still supporting your business
I know I’m commenting really late but I just got a Mississippi map turtle he is very inactive only sleeping and walking around his basking area. Is something wrong or is he just tired?
I would recommend taking your turtle to a vet just to get checked up on and ensure everything is okay. I am unable to provide any medical advise but I'm sure a vet can help and confirm for you!
hi!!! i just wanted to say that i love watching ur videos, i love the way u set up ur reptiles enclosures very nice. i just had one question tho does cork bark mold easily? i notice that u use it often so i was just wondering. i want to upgrade my ball pythons enclosure bioActive so i'm not sure ??
As they get older, do they need as much decor in there or is it more important they be able to swim freely? Like if I had all the hardscape on one side then freed up the other side for swimming?
Offering a combination of both options and a diverse range of choices enables them to have alternatives and the freedom to select according to their preferences.
Hi! I just got one of these little guys and I am trying to figure out what to do for film over the eyes? I know nothing about turtles and he was an emergency take in, I am trying to educate myself as much as possible
i live in a place where water is extremely hard... about 400ppm general hardness and 7.6-7.8ph, is this ok for a map turtle? or do turtles need soft water?
What kinds of invertebrates would you put in to help clean the tank? I’m working with and African bullfrog and his aquatic side is 18 gallons (I’m following the rule of using a canister filter 2x as strong) Are there any animals you can think of that would be good?
Hey there! I would recommend it be the same! It would be a great setup for all species of Map's! :) The list of supplies used is in the description, We can also get a custom kit together, please reach out to customercare@thebiodude.com and they can get this quoted for you!
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter definitely did thanks alot i had another question sorry don't mean too bug but when you say you can setup up a tank that is bioactive what excatly do you mean by that?
Put monkey pods and trumpet pods on amazon you missing alot of money. you are one of the only few people selling them . there are a lot of people in the hobby that have access to them and don't know you sell them especially new hobbyists.

Thank you man for talking about irresponsible owners and the damage that can be done to them❤️ this is what needs to be talked about.

JOSSSHHH IS BAAACKKKK. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR PRODUCT HAS GIVEN MY LEO A VERY HAPPY HOME!
I’m so glad you’re back home and your baby and your wife are doing well
Anyone looking for turtles check out stinkpots, loggerheads, and razorback musk turtles. They stay small and are very active.
You read my mind josh ! I was thinking of owning aquatic turtles ! That’s awesome, that you have these adorable critters, and all that they need.💚
Josh I'm so happy Ur still growing strong bro. Kicking ass💯💯😔✊

The best small turtle tank
Thank you!! The Dude Abides!
37:20 Fear and Loathing quote. Respect
Red ear sliders love duck weed. Something worth thinking about putting in your shop if semi-aquatic Is the direction you want to start going in.
Omg i found i want all about bioactive. Before i search keyword bioactive bearded dragon. Now i search bioactive turtle.
Nice channel
welcome to the bio rabbit hole!

Hopefully you get some more of that gravel soon
Awesome video great to see a turtle bio active tank also what isopod should I use for a green anole
He says they need a canister filter, but the tank in his store has a little shitty whisper filter😂 35:11
Those are great for fire belly toads and newts
Yeaaaaaa josh is back hey and he is not waring a mask I love it !!!! So glad ur back bro!!!
Yea turtles are messy I had some for years but yea they dirty lol
Opportunity zone lol
so how often would you change the filter in the fluval 100 gallon
Best video 🙏🏽
Glad you think so!
Very thourgh going instructions
Mississippi map turtles live in some the nastiest water you have ever seen. Easy to keep if you are making any effort to care fore them,
GOOD JOB

@TheBioDudeJoshHalter thank you for responding. That's what we currently have and are upgrading his tank soon from a 40 breeder to 75.
Do you sell setup like this with all included? Need for a 40g tank
Can I add fish like mollies in tank, I have 80 galon fish tank, I was wondering, it will be fine or not
Is 25°c is good water temp for a turtle? Can he die if he's not basking for 2 days?
I only have two leopard geckos but still I watched all the how to setup a bio tank videos, kinda enjoyable

Hey there, if it is an intake situation we would only recommend a vet.
Can Bala sharks live with turtles
For just one turtle?? Wow that’s a lot! How come they need so much space even if they’re small?
i live in a place where water is extremely hard... about 400ppm general hardness and 7.6-7.8ph, is this ok for a map turtle? or do turtles need soft water?
Will there be a BioActive leopard gecko setup?

What gallon tank is it
Heyy there! that is a 40 gallon.
@@TheBioDudeJoshHalter thanks
how long before you'd have to upgrade from that 20 gallon to the full 100+?
Depends on the turtle growth and species.
Could you have a male black knob map turtle with a female 3 stripe mud turtle or a male musk/painted I’m curious
I would not recommend it.
Can a male western painted turtle be with a female mud turtle
Hi
Will a 56 gallon work?
For a male
Are you the shamwow guys son?
No LOL! however - The ShamDude Abides!!!

You say 75 gallons of a male and 120 for a female. Does that mean 200 gallons for a couple?
For breeding purposes the male can be added into the females tank and be removed as he will consistently pester her to breed so its best to keep them separate.
Patiently waiting for his bioactive kits to re-stock.😭
All I got from this was DON'T GET A TURTLE PEASANT!
This is too much
