  • Here's an update on Franklin's indoor turtle tub, and all of the changes and additions I've made to it! With new stones, bamboo, filters, lighting, and an updated basking spot, I think this enclosure has just about everything my turtle needs. (I still need some live plants though!)

Thank you!!

    I know it's late, but you should make a shallow water shelf for him. Basically, it's in the water just deep enough to cover his shell then place a hide on half of it. I did that with my turtle and it's single-handedly his favorite place to sleep or hang out if he gets nervous.

    Cool looking upgrade, have you considered adding a piece of slate or other flat rock under the basking spot? It helps with quicker warming when they go to bask and also reflects a little bit of uv to the sides and underneath of their limbs (obviously only at certain angles)
    I love how Franklin has a perfectly acceptable ramp but chooses to just plop off the side of the island instead.

    I have my rescue turtle maximus in a 100 gallon rubber made stock tank with the same filter. You gave me an idea with the egg crate basking lamp. I did have one mishap when setting up the tank. Some how a siphon drained out 2/3rds of the water, so my turtle room and basement were drenched. The upstairs room is still drying out almost 2 weeks later. I'm pretty sure the carpet is shot. Oh well I wanted to put laminate in anyway.
