      @@lisay3246 I have been in these groups and a bunch of moderators with little to no reptile experience are giving out lots of misinformation. I am not saying that you are not smart on the subject but the atmosphere of those pages is something I do not want to be a part of. I get my information from my own personal research, the hundreds of reptile books I own, and experienced reptile keepers I trust. The way those pages are run are it’s your way or no way which i do not agree with. I was honestly excited when I first saw these groups of turtle lovers on Facebook thinking it was going to be a positive experience but I disliked it so much I left every single group. I see that you may have good intentions but I just think you need to change the way those pages are run, you guys mute people’s opinions and advice if it doesn’t coincide with your own. That is a dictatorship not an educational community.

    On one of her groups, I advised an owner from SE Asia with little access to the recommended equipment, so advised equipment that they could access to help improve the turtles habitat. This despite not being ideal, would have improved its care and health.
    I was banned for advising equipment that owner could get easily , would help turtle but not ideal and what they recommended.

    So glad you covered this topic. I am a new No Amer Ornate Box turtle owner and searched online for care info. I found most FB feedback to be conflicting for the reasons you covered, which is why I found my way to your channel. Although I haven't seen you highlight ornates, the guidance you offer about nutrition, health, behavior and environment is great and relative to a degree. What I take away is exactly what you said,...that we are free to seek out as much info as possible and not get bent if someone disagrees with my turtles preferences 🐢. Best of luck to ya Dan.

    There’s nothing wrong with caresheets as a starting point or baseline, but many turtle species evolved over millions of years to be specialists, and in the wild feed solely on one item. So you can even split the middle and do fine, but there’s no reason to ban people or sue people over a differing opinion or care techniques

    I like new dimension that this type of vid adds to your channel. Backstories are always interesting.
    And you send an important message about diversifying informational sources.
    I was in two of her groups before leaving voluntarily because I was sick of the info graphics as a response to every question a member would ask.
    Groups are supposed to be conversational and about sharing info with other keepers (IMO), not just having the same effing slides rammed down your throat for everything.
    Additionally, she lost a ton of credibility with me when I realized how many groups she runs. I mean, how can one person legitimately be an ‘expert’ on so many different species? They can’t.

    I get it, it’s because most people will get little hatchling baby turtles, like red-eared sliders, for example, and have no idea how to take care of them because they’ve been misinformed, and either a.) the turtles die prematurely, or b.) the owners just dump them wherever when they get too big to take care of, that is a *huge* problem, that much is true.
    I had my African sideneck Kobe going on four years, now. I actually got her from a PetSmart, and honestly I thought she was going to get much bigger than she is now, but so far every time I measured her lately she’s always been about four and a half inches, total, so she maybe grew about an inch or two since I got her.
    Yes, turtles *can* be a lot of work to take care of compared to, say, snakes or lizards, every other reptile-specific channel here will tell you that. *However*, that doesn’t mean you have to jump on everybody’s throat just because they did *this one little thing wrong* compared to what actual care guides recommend you should do.
    I might have done *this* wrong or *that* wrong with her, but so far she’s still active and kicking, and I think that’s the most important thing.

    Got banned from a painted turtle group for 2 reasons. 1. Linking information from outside source. (Kenans video on flipped tortoises) 2. "Harassment"
    Here's the story. A girl posted a picture of her painted turtle in her hand not even fully flipped over. (Cant remember why she made the post) Some very pleasant lady (to keep it respectful) started bashing her saying she was torturing her turtle by flipping it to take a picture of the plastron. I tried to explain that it was completely fine to flip a turt or tort for a short period of time and that sometimes its necessary for things such as veterinary procedures and routine examinations and collecting data for field research. Someone didn't like that too much, saying that anyone who does that is cruel and she would never put her turtles through that kind of stress. I finally got bored with the conversation and told the girl she did nothing wrong and linked kenans vid just to prove the point. Little while later the comments were deleted and I was told that I was harassing people and linking outside information. Then it was by by 👋. Pretty hilarious thinking about it now. 🤣

Eastern musk turtles are mainly carnivorous, especially since mine is a growing hatchling. If you have an opinion on myturtlestore could you make a video on them? That’s where I purchased my eastern musk turtles from and I do have mixed opinions on them. Feel free to DM me on Instagram at @awb12_exotics you would like to hear my opinion!

    Okay, so now I am freaking out just a bit. I received my first 3 toed box turtle a little over a month ago. Hatch date thought to be sometime around the October-November 2020 timeframe. The breeder told me they were being raised in shallow water. I was doing the same and I happen to ask a question about it's shell in one of those groups. I was told it was not recommended to have them in water (I inch or less) because of shell rot (just to soak once a day). So I stopped. Will it harm my baby? How old can they be raised in water?

    • @DanTheTurtleMan_
      @DanTheTurtleMan_  3 года назад +1

      If the humidity isn't high enough or you notice the growth on the shell isn't smooth or it's flaring upwards at the ends, then that isn't good and you may want to use a shallow water setup. If the growth is smooth implying proper humidity and whatnot, then you're just fine without water! The shallow water just ensures that there's enough humidity and hydration for the box turtle and leads to more smooth growth usually.

It has turned into a bash site where people are bullied and pushed to do or change things. Like it or not that is exactly my experience with your sites and im fairly sure i have left them all by now.
