    Some, no maybe A LOT of questions about musk turtles

    Sorry, the multiple threads will be taken into account. I already bought Flourite dark sand, I think river rocks would look bad and by personal preference and my own sanity, I don't want the turtle eating the gravel and not passing it lol. Do you think the best choice is to return the basking...

    Hi, I’m so sorry but I’m back again after an intolerable amount of questions. I think every new pet keeper gets super nervous and anxious when preparing for their new pet. I’m asking millions of questions as a beginner but someday I’ll answer someone else’s questions. Back to the question, ok so...

    What do you guys think? I have everything I need for the enclosure, just pondering which turtle to get. They have almost identical lifestyles and requirements, the only thing I'm concerned with is personality and look. I personally like the pyramid-like shell in the razorback. But I've seen many...

    Do you guys have any preference for the lamp fixture? I was going to go with the Flukers clamp lamp but I have no idea how I'm going to hang it on the lampstand. Maybe the Zoo-Med will be better but it's a little more expensive because it is a deep dome. I'm going with this lampstand by the way...

    Hello again! I am here to ask a few more questions. I'm a bit confused on the basking area lights. I watched some videos by TheTurtleGirl and DantheGuppyMan and they suggested the Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle Lighting kit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CYDEARU/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 I liked the idea of...

    Oh and is it better for the Fluval U3 filter or the one I listed Whisper internal for these floating plants and turtles. I think I will have the frogbit or maybe water lettuce in one corner but I still fear that the output of the intake is going to clog because of the floating plants being...

    Thanks for so much information! Won't the turtle try and eat the fake plants?

    And how many times do I feed them? Every other day? I just called Jay Frewer (Turtles and Tortoises company) and he said they were 1 1/2 years old to 2 years old.

    Can't decide on which Internal filter

    What do you think about the water depth for a juvenile turtle? I was thinking 10-11 inches?

    Can't decide on which Internal filter

    Do you think adding lava rocks around the filter would be better? Live plants? I really just want a sufficient filter for the low price.

    Can't decide on which Internal filter

    SO the whisper internal has chemical filtration (carbon), mechanical filtration ("Bio-Scrubber") what do I do for biological? I've seen people modify it so that there is a sponge, medium-coarse filter floss, carbon and then bio balls. Should I do that?

    Can't decide on which Internal filter
