    As hatchlings and juveniles, you shouldn't have any problems, but as adults, this tank may be too small. Females can grow to about 10 inches, and if you have multiple turtles, it can get crowded pretty quickly.
    I would suggest looking at our larger 40 gallon ReptiHabitat tanks.
    Still take into account how many turtles you plan on keeping and their size before deciding.
    Hope that helps. Take care. :)

    @ZooMed  11 років тому +1

    That all depends on local temperatures. If your pet's tank isn't reaching the appropriate temperatures they need, then yes, a heater may be needed. Always research the specific needs of your pet and adjust their habitat accordingly.

    Mention that having turtles is long term. Your products are outstanding .

  • @ZooMed
    @ZooMed  11 років тому +2

    That depends on the type of turtle you're keeping and what the local temperatures of your setup. If the tank isn't reaching the temperatures you need, then you'll probably need a heater.

  • @ZooMed
    @ZooMed  11 років тому +1

    For an aquatic turtle, it provides cover and gives them a sense of security by allowing a place to hide if they feel threatened. While not necessary, it does help with creating a healthy lifestyle and a more natural habitat.

    This could work for one adult Musk Turtle depending on the type. Always research the specific needs of your pet before setting up their habitat. Take care.

  • @ZooMed
    @ZooMed  11 років тому

    Hi there. It all depends on what temperatures you are getting. If the appropriate temperatures for your turtle aren't being met with the Turtle Tuff and 5.0, then additional heating might be needed.

    That's up to you if you feel comfortable with the quality of the water. We would recommend adding some ReptiSafe Water Conditioner to be safe.

  • @ZooMed

    That depends on the type of Turtle. Try searching online for a Care Sheet of the specific species you plan on keeping. Always throughly research the type of Turtle you plan on keeping.

    Hi, Cameron. You'll have to check with your local pet retailer for exact pricing on our kits.

  • @ZooMed
    @ZooMed  11 років тому +3

    We recommend first separating the juveniles and the adults if they are a substantial size difference. This risks one outcompeting the other for food, or even eating the other(!). Turtles should be kept together with others of similar size.
    The larger ones should definitely be upgraded to a larger tank. Depending on their size, they may eventually need something even bigger. Red-Eared Sliders alone can get fairly big. Get in contact with our Customer Service for more info: 1-888-496-6633

  • @ZooMed

    Depending on the species of water turtle, it might be. The kit is designed with hatchling and juveniles in mind. If your turtle is outgrowing the space, then a larger enclosure is definitely needed. The ReptiHabitat Kit Aquatic Turtle Kit is also available in a 40 gallon size. See our website for more details: zoomed.com

Is there something im doing wrong ?? im learning a crash course on care for my lil red slider ,, ,, I have him now for a month ,, and have gotten attached to him i dont want to lose him now , He seems healthy and loves to be held ,

    • @ZooMed
      @ZooMed  8 років тому

      +Robin Koschnick It's difficult to say without having hands-on time with him. Make sure his habitat is appropriately setup with the correct heating, he is eating, relieving waste, and generally moving around the habitat.
      If you feel he is acting strange or showing signs that may indicate sickness, I would suggest taking him to a vet or reptile specialist that can provide a hands-on diagnosis. Hope that helps.

    • @ZooMed
      @ZooMed  9 років тому

      Ralph Pelayo We recommended that the appropriate UV and heat be provided in their enclosure at all times. Providing heat and UVB appropriately in the habitats will allow your animal to thermoregulate (move in and out of the heat) and photoregulate (move in and out of the light as necessary). If you are going to allow your animal to live or spend part of its time outdoors, make sure you are providing the option of cover so your pet can move out of the sun if necessary. If you'd like more information, please check out our caresheet page here: links.zoomed.com/caresheets or contact us at zoomed@zoomed.com . Hope that helps.

    • @ZooMed

      TheShadowknights Second channelKeeping any animal is a large responsibility and can quickly become expensive. This kit is designed to provide the basics for a variety of young aquatic turtles, but it is up to you to research the needs of the specific species you plan on keeping and adjusting their habitat and lifestyle accordingly. Whether or not you'll need to upgrade the habitat itself will depend on the unique growth of your pet as well as how many you are keeping. Hope that makes sense.

    How much water should I put in a 10 gallon for my Red eared slider?

    • @ZooMed
      @ZooMed  10 років тому

      That depends on how your habitat is setup. At the least, there should be enough water to allow them to submerge and easily maneuver around their surroundings without difficulty in finding food and other resources. Refer online for a Red Ear Slider caresheet for more details. Also, Red Ear Sliders can grow quite large, so expect to upgrade to a larger enclosure as they get older. Hope that answers your question. Take care. :)

    Is a 200 gallon too small for a baby red eared slider or can i keep it?

      the wiener dog We would recommend starting with a smaller tank when they are young so they can easily find food and other resources. A 200 gallon could work for an adult though.

      Raymond Deleon Our Starter Kits are designed to be a great introduction to keeping animals, while at the same time being a great value. As filters can vary depending on the animal and how the habitat is set up, and with the 40 gallon allowing a variety of potential setups with its bigger size to our 20 gallon, it was decided to keep the filter separate and let the new pet owner choose what type of filter will benefit their habitat best, while keeping the cost of the kit itself down. I hope that makes sense. For more info, contact our Customer Service at: zoomed@zoomed.com

      Connie Archer It depends on how your habitat is set up. Our daylight blue and and nightlight red bulbs are great ways to provide heat for your pet during their appropriate hours, however, you'll always want to gauge their temps to make sure they are getting the appropriate amount for both day and night time heat. Always make sure your lighting fixtures are set up correctly when setting up around an aquatic habitat. For more info, contact our Customer Service at: zoomed@zoomed.com Hope that helps.

      logan arnold The dimensions of the 20 gallon terrarium are: 30"x12"x12".It can vary depending on how you have the habitat setup. Red Eared Sliders naturally grow fairly large, you may want to check out our 40 Gallon Aquatic Turtle Kit:links.zoomed.com/nt-t40Always research the needs of the specific species you plan on keeping and adjust their habitat accordingly. Hope that helps. Take care.
