Oh my heart hurt for you… and her… then you found her!! I’m so happy!!!

Ok then… maybe he is just “looking” for the same stuff all sexually mature males look for!! Lol

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...

Otis is absolutely amazing!!!

Thank you!

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...

Yeah I tried to wipe it… it is very faint. I actually spoke to an online vet s while ago and said that septicemia tends to turn white then back to pink when slightly pushed in… so I did that and it did not turn white and is not spongy at all. Yes he eats good…. Well he will only eat the...

My little guy absolutely will not touch greens.. I float romaine lettuce constantly but he goes right past it. I have always done more than 60%.. more like 90% water changes weekly… I’ve had my canister for about 1 1/2 months … last week I did rinse my floss out in the tank water and added bio...

But he eats great! He’s very very active… I have a bubbler in his tank and he plays with that constantly and is a very active swimmer. I’m getting such conflicting answers on the food… one place I’m told no live food as there is a good chance of him getting parasites. I’ve bought every food...

This is as good as I can get but that is exactly what I see…. I honestly don’t know any other food to get him… seems I’ve gotten every brand or type of food that I read suggested… I will get whatever is best.. but to be clear… he no longer gets Walmart turtle delight and has not since the day I...
