    I've had this idea for a while and thought it was about time to put it into action. Love how it turned out. It's now been several days since this was set up and Timmy is getting along great :) I hope you enjoy the video.

    Beautiful setup.

A lot of great ideas in this video. Thank you for sharing!

Literally swimming arnd toes when wade into water, & what I've noticed is that these little guys LOVE....I MEAN ABSOLUTELY LOVE TADPOLES, specifically Common Eastern Land Toads t-poles. Small black little guys in huge #'s. You should net some native t-poles out of a native body of water near your home/studio, Timmy will be in "Heaven"!!! 🙏🏻

    My musk Turtle was given to me in a 10 gallon tank he was just over an inch and a half long. I got him a 29 gallon and slowly filled it up to build his strength and eventually got it almost full. He loves swimming doing all kinds of tricks, chasing the small animals in the tank, he does dive deep and walks along the surface but over all he’s all over the place. Some might not like a lot of water but mine does for sure. It’s only been a month or so, we will see in a couple years when he’s a little bigger and gets to live in a 50 gallon possibly 75 gallon.

    Another great video, I have finally bit the bullet mate and bought a tiny musk turtle (still in the shop), also after more than 12 months of dithering, I have finally bought on your recommendation an All Pond Solutions Ultra Clear Glass Fish Tank. My question to you...would my new tank look stupid on a cabinet that is 12 cm longer than the tank giving a 6 cm overhang of the cabinet on either side of the tank? Do you still aquascape other peoples tanks? if you do, I can see myself calling on your expertise and service in the very near future.

    Timmy will slowly adjust to the tank and appreciate the extra swimming room - but he looked stressed at first. Perhaps because he went from a dark tannins tank, to a clear one. Maybe his eyes didn't have a chance to adjust properly? Do you think he'll feel safer with more tannins in the water?
