I think it's also important to mention that all turtles are different and it's important to pay attention to behavior and habits of your individual turtle to understand what they need, how much to feed them, what they prefer in they're enclosure, etc
I just found one and was thinking of releasing him since he was slightly stressed but figured he might become road kill or fall prey but after this video I will keep him his name is mitch.
Thank you for posting this! My 4 month old musk turtle has the same setup! Everyone’s always on me for a heat bulb and no one believes me when I tell this this same thing!
My son found a painted baby turtle also in a pool they were closing for the winter. He took it home and then had to move , and had nowhere to keep it. So I ended up taking it. Cause it was too cold already to let it go. Still winter here so I was wondering if someone wants it or is it ok to let it go in the spring? Next I just heard they're not legal to keep in New York.
Man just came across your account and really appreciate your content. Been into to turtles since I was a kid. Now I have a red eared slider and a Florida softshell! I'm lookin to add a diamondback terrapin to the family. Loving this content!
Excellent information, thank you for explaining this so clearly. You provided all the details I was searching for to care for my little turtle correctly. I appreciate the fake plant idea, that will simplify the process of keeping water clean. One suggestion, please note measurements in both versions. Degrees in Fahrenheit & Celsius or size in Feet & Meters. Wishing all abundant Blessings!
You forgot to mention they also need a place where they can get completely out of the water to bask and that area needs a heat bulb along with a uvb which you already have.
We had a turtle lay eggs in our front yard. It’s the red eared slider. This has helped getting a temp setup for them before we take them to the pond. The mom came from the pond, so they are wild. All we want to do is make sure they are ok as newborns. If we take them to AC, they will just be put down.
We found a baby American slider at our front door. We are not sure how it arrived there but was want to provide a healthy environment for it. Thank you for such amazing instructional videos.
45 no way i wouldnt have thought lol loving the videos need more diamond back ones i keep watching them im curious about sand and vermiculate areas for indoors and where they lay eggs indoors
Thank you! This was very informative, my boyfriend and I found a chicken turtle hatchling in our pool two days ago and we’ve been trying to figure out how to raise it!
I agree, it's critical to specify Degrees, either Fahrenheit or Celsius! Never know who's watching & where they live. It would be helpful to state both. I watch other content with measurements & they provide both, Feet & Meters.
Hey I bought baby river cooter and have a tank and the bulb the plants but I don t have the heater and filter so far can they survive for some time before I get my hands on those 2 bad boys? Also he s here a couple hours but he s still not eating I hope it s normal
Thanks your Video helped me out I just got two baby turtles. But I need to get a heater to keep there water warm and the light. plus I always do change there water and I need some plants. I had a question to ask you? Can Turtles sleep on a warm blanket??? Or Blanket???
My dad thought the eggs of the turtle didn't fertilized so he threw one and the turtle's head came out and it was moving but I think it wasn't ready yet to come out. What should we do?? I feel really bad:(
2 juvi western painted turtles = 3 Rio grandee, 1 hieroglyphic river cooter, 1 pink belly snapper, and 3 snappers, I want to put them in with the painted but the size difference, that would be bad or have you had success. Not that I'm trying to be a cheap butmuch on electric or nothing.
i have some baby turtles i put them in my balcony with natural sun and i dont use heater because i live in a tropical island i just wanna make sure if its ok
What do you suggest I do I have 3 turtles one has his own aquarium and two share a aquarium I brought the two together and they have been sharing the same tank for 7 years but I don't think they get along very well IV noticed ones tail is white at the tip and I believe it's from the other turtle nipping at it also one tends to jump on top of the other quite aggressively should I separate them ?
Can juvenile RES survive ok in an outside pond in winter? It can get as cold as upper 20's at night, but mostly stays in the 30's at night. The water temp is already in the upper 50's and he is just getting to where he doesn't want to eat. The juvenile is 1 1/2 years old. Thank you for your reply
I know I’m reviving an old thread but I have an adorable baby painted turtle named Mikey, and ever since I’ve had him he has this like hazy color on his skin, almost looks like stuck shed with that foggy white undertone but he has no problems shedding, any ideas as to what that could be or what I can do to help him out
Hey I have a baby turtle and he’s like the size of a quarter maybe a little bigger and what should I feed him I have a setup with pump basking spot plants wood and lights
Not sure what kind I have...someone gave my friend this and she said it was too hard to keep clean water, I have a fish tank so I am going to learn about it and raise it - can you help me figure out the type of turtle? I can send a picture.
Just found one near my grass in my front yard my daughter pointed it out and we took it in i have to identify it for its need but this greatly helps so thank you
Hey I’m interested in your baby turtles and I would like to know how I could get one, if you are going to sell them in the near future after they get a little bigger.
❤❤❤ I’m excited Dan, I just bought 4 baby red ear sliders…They love music as well interesting fact.(sing to them)🥰 I’m excited taking on this new journey. Thanks for your knowledge!!!
Hey Dan my wife really likes turtles you should see our backyard ....lol but back to my point can I purchase a baby Diamond back terrapin from you or do you have someone ...you can recommend thanks Scott Keller
Hello I'm just wondering about the comment you made about them drying out I have recently got a river back cooter and she probably spends most the time basking and not in her water is this okay?
Thanks men for the help to the people who have pet turtles I'm 12 idk how to give them a nice home but now I do because of your video thanks a lot 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It depends on how big the turtle is they are supposed to have 10 gallons of water per inch so if the turtle is 5 inches then it will need at least 50 gallons of water
@@Anime_Dono okay, thank you so much! what would you think a good start out would be if I just got a baby turtle? I've never really had them so I don't really know the size of them
@@mayamurphy6834 a baby is about the size of a quarter if you buy it so you won't need a container more than 10 gallons but turtles can drown so honestly you'll need like a plastic container maybe like 10 in wide and like 1 in to 1 1/2 in for water so they don't drown. Also you'll need something they can get on top of and bask on. I use a rock that's taller than the water height and make sure he can climb on top of it. I got my rock from my yard but not all rocks are safe so you'll have to test it with vinegar and if it bubbles then the rock is no good but if it doesn't then you can use the rock. There is another way to test if the rock is safe but I forgot what it is but you can Google it. You'll also need a uvb light above where it's basking which you can find at the pet store or on Craigslist. I personally don't have one for my baby since I only have one and use it for my adult turtle and I would have bought another one however I take my turtles out of their tank a lot and let the walk around my house and outside freely, when I can watch them, so they are already getting from the sun what they would have gotten from the lights
I need real help please, I was given a turtle from my science teacher and I have no clue what type she is. When I was given her I was under the impression she was a single turtle, her tank was straight black and and when I cleaned everything up there was a small baby in there as well, what’s the best way for me to take care of them and to figure out genders and everything
Hi so I found a turtle in my yard and it has like clay like spots that have like black orange and yellow and I really don't know if like its natural is it

Bingo, absolutely correct. I'm using this as a super super general rule of thumb!
Ok
@@DanTheTurtleMan_how do you empty the water out. That tub with water would be too heavy for me is there a hose

Do baby turtle like a few months old need basking area?
How they keep popping up at the same time looking at you is really cute.
I love how all your little babies pay attention to you. They love you!
Thank you for posting this! My 4 month old musk turtle has the same setup! Everyone’s always on me for a heat bulb and no one believes me when I tell this this same thing!
How old do they need to be before you provide heat bulb? New baby turtle momma here.
Can you provide a link to the heater?
Well ..if you don't have a heat lamp then sitting them in the sun will server the same purpose
Thanks!
Thank you!!!

Great vid, you explained everything thoroughly yet simple enough to follow. Wish I had seen your vid first. I have to find some cool plants like that.
Thanks I'm planing on getting 1 or 2 turtels
Thank you for your video it was so helpful. I have a river cooter turtle coming to me from my local pet store..can't wait.
THIS REALLLY helped thank you so muchhhhhhh I can’t wait to get my turtle THANK YOU
I love this video and how u explain, and ur turtles are so cute and beautiful, keep going bro (I'm a new subscriber;D)
Thank you so much I just got two baby yellow belly slider I will definitely subscribe 😊
Keep that mustache and you’ll be showing us how to care for a human baby
💀💀🤣🤣🤣
I volunteer! Lol
I will add a little dry basking area, cork bark is far enough for hatchlings, I favor flat stones for bigger ones.
Thanks dan for the care guides I think this will help grow your channal.
45 no way i wouldnt have thought lol loving the videos need more diamond back ones i keep watching them im curious about sand and vermiculate areas for indoors and where they lay eggs indoors
Diamond backs? Map turtles?
So you need a basking light and a water heater ?? That’s what I’m having trouble with when researching
And some plant cover to hide in and sit on top for feeding time 😄
Thank you! This was very informative, my boyfriend and I found a chicken turtle hatchling in our pool two days ago and we’ve been trying to figure out how to raise it!
Oooh chicken turtles are REALLY hard to raise. I’d recommend finding a local wetland and releasing it!
Is the UVB light absolutely essential? What about natural sunlight for a couple hours per day instead?
I heard natural sunlight is 3 times more useful than bulbs. But idk....
I love your baby turtle videos
What brand and wattage is the heater in this video?
Look at the adorable babies 😍 😍
Dan: "You need heated water, it needs to be about 82°"
My European ass: why would you want to cook your turtles? 😳
HAHA woops!!! 🤣🤣 Fahrenheit :p
I agree, it's critical to specify Degrees, either Fahrenheit or Celsius! Never know who's watching & where they live. It would be helpful to state both. I watch other content with measurements & they provide both, Feet & Meters.
Fahrenheit 😂
@@RayanYehya yea, got that pretty quickly unlike on some videos where people use metric and imperial both, that's just cruel 😅
Turtle soup perhaps? 😂
I have a baby Gulf coast Florida.. I know they are Simi aquatic so how much water does the baby need?
Can you do another video like this but for adult turtles pls
this was so helpful im subbed now for life
