Lol! Maybe they did ! Yeah he’s eating as usual… he’s picky tho!… I have to hold out on feeding sometimes because he’ll get to only eating mealworms!… I keep a variety of about 7 different brands of food… and he’s still picky! Yep he does sleep… I have some fake suction cupped greenery...
Thank you… are turtles normally so active in their tanks? I mean he swims to the top and dives back down… gets in his bubbler and it pushes him down… swims the length of the tank.. does this over and over… every now and then he’ll stop in his bunched up vines where he sleeps for a quick rest...
That’s the best one I have showing tail and nails. I’ll try to get a better one if this one doesn’t help. He had a shorter fat tail and really long nails. I sure hope he’s a he!!
I have a map in a 55 gallon tank. At first I had a hob rated for a 75 gallon and a couple of internal filters… wasn’t doing the job. So I broke down and ordered a Penn Plax Cascade 1200… and that was the best decision I’ve made in a while… so far! It wasn’t that expensive on Amazon… around...
I have a 3 year old male (I think) Mississippi Map… he is eating good, although picky as usual, his temps are good, the same as always, water temp 74-76F, basking is 88-90 F, I have replaced the uvb about 2 months ago… he has an above tank basking area. Water parameters are right on target...
Yes it is gonna be worth it but is was a pretty penny! All my perimeters are good.. my ammonia is 0.25 and really should be 0 but from all I can tell I’m ok. I’m gonna do a small water change tomorrow. I did invest in a vacuum which is a lifesaver!… I actually do vacuum the bottom every...
Thank you.. yeah that was the best I could get.. was tough holding him in one hand while holding the phone in the other and still trying to snap! But , this guy is active.. I have a bubble wand in his tank and he plays with that thing constantly! I watch him using his head to move it around...
Thank you.. I did go on and get the API test kit and all my perimeters are good… my ammonia is .25 so I’m going to do a 50% water change. He’s really active and I think the pinkness is faded… I’m sort of leaning toward the pinkish calcium block and the red pellets… which I’m no longer giving...
I’ve read so much about how the perimeters for a turtle are not as important as for fish.. so I’ve not been testing… but that willl be changing tomorrow as soon as I can get to PetSmart and buy the test kit… I think it is very important.. the thought of my guy being sick because of something I...
Thank you… I have ordered a couple of different Hikari foods..floating sticks and a wafer.. I read several places that these were to very nutritional staple foods… I ordered a cuttlebone and am not putting anymore pink colored calcium blocks in his tank… I also ordered a vitamin A supplement…...
I only take him out weekly to do changes… he basks off and on all day. Probably 1/2and 1/2. Live worms? What type of worms? Raw lever? Chicken liver? I do offer him the cichlid pellets.. he passes them by… he eats a lot of the flukers pellets and mealworms… he seems really picky…. But he’ll...
