Glad to hear things are going okay. I'd definitely look into a filter as it will make things much easier and cleaner [emoji846]

Ok thank you very much
They like they're environment now and they're starting to bask so that's good.
Sorry I don't live in America so I can't go to petco or anything like that. I have placed them in a bigger tank now.
I have been cleaning the tank every other day but I will either make or buy a new filter.
Thanks a lot!!

They seem to hate the basking spot, they never climb up and when I do put them up they just get back down. So they know how to get up but they just don't want to. Should I wait for them to adjust or should I force it?

Sliders duck into the water, if you put them on the basking platform, they will run. They will go up on there own when they are more comfortable.

Hi, I have a question about the water temperature. I bought a water heater so I was just wondering about the temperature that I should have it at?

Alex Z · Feb 25, 2018

It should be 76-84 degrees.

Hi, I picked up my turtle this morning and I saw the he/she had done something to his shell.

Can someone help me identify how to cure this, should I apply sone betadine? Also he is not housed with any other turtles.
Thanks!
