Update! The new tank is up and running for the second time haha. Everyone seems to be doing good but the biggest snapping turtle. Since we’ve had him he’s hid the entire time. I’ve seen them all eat but him. I know they don’t bask very much but I’ve never even saw him get on top of a rock, he...
Thankfully nothing was damaged other than the tank so they have heat and a lamp in the small tank. Hubby is bringing home the new tank today. I think maybe I had too many heavy rocks in there and that caused it. I’m gonna scavenge for some wood to put in there instead, thanks for the idea♥️
I don’t have any empty ones they’re all full of holiday decor in the garage. I’ve cried for a good 30 minutes over this. I’m so sad, I’ve worked so hard on everything for them and I just got them in separate tanks last night. We’re gonna get another tank tomorrow but damn I’m upset.
Jesus Christ guys. I come in the room to check on them and water is all over my floor. The big tank is somehow cracked in the bottom. Whyyyyyyyyy is this happening ??? My husband is currently draining it and now we’re gonna have to put all 4 of them back in that tiny tank unless someone has some...
I was actually just telling my husband earlier that I didn’t think the tiny one was a slider because he doesn’t have the red on his neck! But I had no clue what he was so thank you!
I have the snappers in water that is a little deeper than the biggest one is long. I’ve got two large flat rocks stacked on top of each other so they can sit on them and be out of the water if they choose. I do not touch any of the turtles, I love all animals but am a bit freaked out about...
Shew, alright guys they are finally in two separate tanks. If I have to clean a turtle tank again in my lifetime it will be too soon!! But considering there have been four turtles in there since last Wednesday it wasn’t that bad. In the tanks they both have heaters, the snappers only have one...
I need some suggestions on basking light bulbs? Both lamps I have came with bulbs in them (one the owner sent and the other is the one that came with the used tank) so I'm not sure they are the right kind of bulb.
I have a bit of a dilemma. I don’t think the turtles can get up to the top of this rock filter to bask and I fear they aren’t getting warm enough basking down lower. Do I fill it up with more water so they can swim to the top of it? I feel like if I add more rocks it may become dangerous...
They are officially in the new tank! I’ll have to clean the old tank tomorrow and get the new filter and heater in it before I put the snapping turtles back in there.
