I have an above-tank basking area, so sometimes when I stand in front of it, my turtle would climb up and walk towards me. Then she just stares at me with her lil green eyes and it's adorable.
Franklin, I'm so sorry to hear that. That has to be really hard to go through and I can't imagine being in your situation. You're always commenting and being supportive on my videos, please let me know if there's ANYTHING I can do to help you feel better, or anything in particular you want to see/would like. Stay strong my friend, and may your pup rest in peace.
Yo my eastern painted whistles/hisses sometimes, especially if he quickly sucks his head in. But he grows, eats well(he loves his food omg), extremely active etc. I was worried he has ri but i read he should have symptoms but does not. Glad im not the only one. This video was helpful and definitely want to get my little guy outdoors during the summer. Keep it up!
Good tips Dan! Sad to say I’m going to be going away for a couple of months but good luck with the content and hope to see your channel grow when I come back.
Got my tshirt! It’s awesome! Thank you Any pearls of wisdom you can share for keeping my turtles and the tortoises too, outside? One by one they come back to the sliding glass door banging on it until they are let back inside to roam around the house? Only my little Painted male, Angel, will stay out until I bring him back in for the night. I’ve even taken my biggest tort, Georgie, into the front yard and he knows where the door is to go back in. Can you say spoiled? 😂😂
Should turtles have a buddy? Like we have one turtle (a yellow bellied slider) and I feel like he’s bored all the time. I don’t know I just want to do what’s right. I just don’t have a ton of money or room to upgrade past a 50 gallon tub. I could try for a 75 gallon eventually. But wouldn’t I need to double the size if I had double the turtles? And wouldn’t I need to get a much stronger filter and an extra basking area?
As things progress with my gupy breeding, would you like to be taking Guppies to stock up your ponds? Interesting fact you may not know, doctor pirxy lo in Pasadena in a turtle breeder. Of albino and snow Sliders. Who teaches medical courses at your old college.
I have a beautiful albino soft shell tortise... His name is Ivory (IVO). I see he does recognize me and comes up to greet me and get some treats. 😂😂 😂. But I have never seen him basking in the sunlight. 🤔
@@kenna6903 Harbor freight and, Amazon has a small solar set that could probably power a canister filter & heater .. You would have to ask your question there .. If not a really, really long heavy duty extension cord 😉?
Does anyone know where I can find info on how much to feed to one red eared slider the same size as his little babies behind him? I feel like I'm over feeding or under feeding her 😭 I'll have to look through here also 🙂👍🏻 Also, could I take her out to her tub during the day& bring her in at night? Or would that be too much stress? 👍🏻 Thanks in advance active that can help? Dan Thank you for all your videos as always 🙏🏻
I just lost one of my loved turts...my Pearl River Map got in a bad accident.. At what temp do you keep your babies in the glass tank? I also have a painted that whistles and have nose bubbles. She has been on 3 different types of antibiotics but she doesn't get better
Can u do a video about their mating behavior? My turtles act weird. I cant tell who is male or female. The big one chases the smaller one. They are 3 years old. One is always scared the other is the boss.
Dan why is my turtle lazy it barely likes to walk I just got it a few days ago so I’m still setting things up I haven’t got a unveiling light so I’m really worried about it health and right now I’m working on getting a big tank for it it’s a baby so it makes me more worried for it’s health
Hey @DanTheTurtleMan I am going to get a painted turtle and I was wondering if I should get a baby or an adult. BTW I have been doing a ton of research.
If you’re planning on getting a male that should be fine. Southerns are the smallest of the painteds so there should be no worry. Female southerns should also be fine but may have to upgrade.
Also hatchlings i find are better as you can make a stronger bond have have plenty of time to spend with them. You also have a smaller size turtle. If you want to go the rescue route for a larger southern is also really good.
A hatchling will do ok in a 55, but don't fill it up too much! Keep it at maybe 2-5 inches of water, fake plants, until it reaches 3 inches or so, then fill halfway and then fill it all the way up at 4 inches!
Hello Dan this Quincy from Atlanta my river cooted turtle has this white bottom think its a fungus but she health an everything water change once a week she's fully functioning but this white looking bottom white should I do
But they have not been basking to much either so I am trying to see what causing this white but they are very active eating been doing a lot of hiding an in the water alot is this normal I have them by the window an basking area an light
@@enriquechaveste4840 it was 6 days she didn't want to eat so I got her a 20 gallon. She looked like she was getting sick. I couldn't take the chance. My son would have taken it hard we had 2 deaths in the family. Couldn't let his turtle die
@@DanTheTurtleMan_ you don't remember my comment about the joy you felt when you discovered you had babies. How I was so touched when I saw that it melted my heart. True joy is so beautiful and so rare. Such a gift. A lot of your fans think you are adorable.
Thanks for watching and I hope ya learned somethin!

Hi how’s your day going

Aaah so that's just from the air exhaling really quickly when they retract. No biggie at all!
Yea i was really worried at first but since he had no symptoms of RI at all i wasn’t too worried
My red ear slider hisses as well. 😆
Good tips Dan! Sad to say I’m going to be going away for a couple of months but good luck with the content and hope to see your channel grow when I come back.
I'll be waiting for you my friend!!!
My giant sized 12 year old Redfoot Tortoise has been whistling for years ,since he was small. no foaming or any other problems since. So true.
You are the best person ever you taught me so much thank you I have African Side neck Turtle 🐢

You'd be better off with some fish friends or activities to keep busy rather than another turtle, as they can be aggressive and territorial
That pic kills me every time, Dan!

Y'know sadly they wouldn't survive the SC winters. I don't know of that breeder, that's awesome!

I want to put my turtle outside during the summer but how could I hook up a filter
I usually build outdoor pond filters, or an internal filter for my setups outside. A pump and a solid filter box and you're set!
@@DanTheTurtleMan_my problem is plugging it up

@@accidrainn1334 thank you for the info and didn't you get an FTR shoutout but thank you again I will look into that.
That OG picture though
Really like your video's, would love to make a pond for mt dbt but the temperatures in the Netherlands won't allow it sadly
Yeeh🎉
Dude I spend 3 minutes trying to pause on the "yuh" bit

I just got a baby giant musk turtle I have two different aquariums I'm just wondering can it live with other turtles that is not it own species
I just lost one of my loved turts...my Pearl River Map got in a bad accident..
At what temp do you keep your babies in the glass tank?
I also have a painted that whistles and have nose bubbles. She has been on 3 different types of antibiotics but she doesn't get better
I am looking for a pair of turtles that don't get any bigger then 5 inches and that are some what social , what kind do you sagest ?
Musk turtles
@@_mv3399 Just started watching your videos about 2 months ago I rely like it .Thanks for getting back to me so quickly .
Just be careful with any turtles housed together, look out for them being territorial or aggression!
@@mountainnana9443 Southern or Eastern Painted Turtle is a good alternative for a turtle ≤ 5".
You sell turtles 🐢? I want a black Diamond

Hey @DanTheTurtleMan I am going to get a painted turtle and I was wondering if I should get a baby or an adult. BTW I have been doing a ton of research.
It’s gonna be a southern painted and I just bought a 55 gallon

how many gallons is your tank?
the baby turtles are getting so big 😅😟
3:01 you have no idea
I tried putting my red ear slider in a tub and she won't eat her food. She only will eat in her tank.
Persistence is key, my turtles didn’t eat the first 3-4 day I moved them. Eventually they’ll go for food as soon as they see it
@@enriquechaveste4840 it was 6 days she didn't want to eat so I got her a 20 gallon. She looked like she was getting sick. I couldn't take the chance. My son would have taken it hard we had 2 deaths in the family. Couldn't let his turtle die
