- Update* To see how Turdy is doing now, check out her latest videos on my new channel that I will be posting to from now on - • Meet "Turdy" the Commo...
It's time for an upgrade! Turdy is getting way too big for her 125 gallon aquarium so I went to Tractor Supply and bought a 300 gallon stock tank! It's really awesome, but it leaked at first. Time to decorate it and make it an amazing place for my turtle to live! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
You should do an update video would love to see how the tank worked out thinking about doing the same for my snapping turtle
Will do! Though I've switched channels, go check out TheReptileViking it's where I'm going to be uploading from here on out.
i’ve had a pet snapping turtle for almost a year now and i have some questions if you’d be able to answer them that’d be great!
Sure, ask away!
Matthew Otis i read some things saying that it’s bad for the turtle to be in the water all the time but i can never get him to bask or anything. i was wondering if it was ever a problem with ur turtle or if you did something different with it
@@draketingler6249 It is a problem with painted turtles and sliders, but with snapping turtles it is not. They can be fully aquatic if they want to be. That being said, your turtle will eventually bask when it feels like it! Mine will go for a month without basking, then all of the sudden I'll see her basking for hours at a time.
Matthew Otis alright thanks! also, when yours was younger, did you notice him shedding on his shell and skin?
@@draketingler6249 yes, she did shed more frequently. Now whenever she does it makes a huge mess! As they get bigger they don't shed the scutes on their shell anymore, but I seem to remember that happening when she was small.
Saya sangat menyenangi vidio ini, krn dolo sy menontonya bersama ayah saya yang sekarang sudah almarhum..., vidio ini menjadi kenang2an kami ber 2, thx y sir, 😇😇😇
Nice set up man we just got our snapper a 100 gallon rubber made stock tank from a 40 gallon tank shes loving it also, how many gallons per hr is you pump?
nice work! keep the vids up!
You remind me of Seth Rogin
Thanks, he's a funny guy!
Where did you buy it
I think its awesome! I would rather raise water much higher for the fact that in the wild they are in deep deep water. I would raise the water till it hits that first line and raise the basking area! Great project!
What a beautiful Snapper.I have a 6 month old one they’re awesome turtles ❤️🐢
Where did you get him/her from a online or in person store because I’m thinking of getting one from the turtle source
@@Jckbball1 Turtle Source is a great place to get one
The Turtle Source is a great place to get one
Can you do a video about the filter setup you have, and how you do water changes if you don’t mind
How old is your snapper here? My daughter just caught a hatchling and I'm trying to plan a timetable lol
4 years old! They grow fast. I went from a 20 gallon tall to a 125 in the first two years, and then to a 300 gallon stock tank at 4 years old. It's probably cheaper in the long run to upgrade to the 300 as soon as possible since that can be it's permanent enclosure.
I got snapping turtle yesterday, definitely the coolest pet reptile and an amazing display animal
Hey man cool video. My turtle is starting to out grow his 40 gal breeder tank.. I was thinking of getting a big 300 gallon Rubbermaid container just like the one that you have but mine will be made of plastic.. it will help dampen the sound a bit. So what all do you feed your turtle.
The turtle 🐢 is pretty big should have went with a 500 gallon tank with better decor and get rid of that crate !!! 👍👍👍
Where did you get the stock tank I can’t find any like it
Tractor supply
@@motiszm thanks man
Nice and large. If I had the space I would start like that with a baby snapper. It seem that anyone who owns a snapper has to constantly keep pace with the snappers growth rate. I think snappers grow faster than babies need new shoes.
I would just have welded a long bead along the bottom rim and that WILL seal it forever lol.
That would've been the best thing to do. I probably should've just returned it, but the silicone worked just fine. Welding is definitely something i want to pick up though!
Awesome!
YOUR POND IS SO INSPIRING, I WILL SETUP THIS FOR MY TWO RED EARDED SLIDER IN THE FUTURE, THANK YOU👑
Liquid rubber works great...its sold on Amazon.
Did you have to get that big 300 gallon tank or would she still be fine in the 125 you got there?
Just silicon all the seams and you will be good !!!
I went through two of these (new) galvanized "troughs" in a few months. Mine was a bit smaller. Mine was 6' long by 2' tall. I had mine all set up and full of water inside my house and it started leaking. From the seam. What a nightmare. No idea it could leak. I took the second one back (they had tested it in the store) and they gave me a different rubber one. I had no idea I needed to put silicone on it. You would think they would tell you??? Not happy but they were good to me but I wasted hours and water.
What a nightmare. Yeah I'm happy to say that it's still going strong, but I'm sometimes paranoid about it leaking when I'm away on a trip.
I had 2 snapping turtles but the small of was super aggressive. I put him in a pond below the scool I work at. Big one I e had 10 years. Told my daughter she will be raising it once I'm dead. I would have to live to 80 years to outline e him
Mine is slightly bigger than yours but he is 10
Is the tank is made up of aluminium??
Where did you find that tank?!
Does he ever go after the pumpkinseed?
Awsome pond and turtles
Good jobs sob 👍
Tirdys bad
I dont think he like mice that well !
Water lettuce
Woo hoo!!! Yay for Turdy!!
That tub is so clean I would swim in it. The one I have was used for chickens and now cows so it's real dirty
How u know it a girl🧐
If the cloaca starts below the edge of the shell it's a male, if it's above, then it's a female. They have to be at least 3 years old to tell though.
Matthew Otis can I send u a pic of my snapping turtle and u tell me wat it is 🤔
@@bangoutsavy2x679 Post it on the Snapping Turtle Fanatics page on facebook, i'll comment on it there.
Matthew Otis huh
Hi! I’m desperate for help!! I have questions about fungal infections on a nearly 2 year old common snapping turtle. I’ve had mine over a year now he’s palm almost hand size and he recently got a fungal infection causing him to be red and kinda raw bloody in some spots, he had it once before from wrong sand I used and lost a claw but it grew back, he’s now in a 125g like yours with new everything but the infection came back. how do you care for a fungal infection on your snapper? I’ve been using instant ocean sea salt (this is actually m first day using it) and noticed better results in the wounds but he seems more sluggish. I’m desperate for help!!!! I’ve tried literally everything I could think of I’m at loss and your snapper looks healthy how do I properly heal mine ? Have you had any fungal infection problems with Turdy? Please and thank you!
I’m also not able to find a single thing on UA-cam , google, or any other sites on how to properly treat a common snapping turtle youngin for a fungal infection so if you respond it’ll be a life saver!! I’m so desperate!
@@mackenziefrance hey, sorry just seeing this now. First off you should join the snapping turtle fanatics group on Facebook and ask this question to them. I have never had this problem but it sounds like your filtration isn't adequate and your water is out of balance. The type of sand doesn't matter. First you should start dry docking your turtle. Just put it in a big Rubbermaid tote with a towel on the bottom and let him chill for a few hours on dry land. This will help him heal, but you've gotta get the water under control.
@Matthew Otis , I recently acquired a baby snapping turtle any advice on what I would need for the baby snapper to assure it’s growing health? And do the snappers need a certain water temperature as baby’s and do they need a uvb/uva light? Really appreciate any answers you or anyone else can give me. Thanks!
I recently found one the size of a quarter and have a I family friend who is a turtle educator and he told us to find small turtle diet pellets and shallow water if its a baby with rocks bigger than it is so it doesnt mistaken them for food, they need a basking area with a heat lamp and a water filter as well as a water heater and you have to feed them in the water
We have another turtle weve had for a few years and hes thriving and we used the same technique so it definitely works well, and turtles dont need to be fed daily so if you dont want yours to grow huge really fast then feed it every other day to start and when it gets a little bigger like the size of your fist then start feeding it every two to three days. The more often you feed it, the quicker it grows.
Updates! My little guy is a a few months old. Trioled in size. Found him with the egg sac still partially attached.
