Hi, Everyone. Im currently saving my money up so, I can purchase a canister filter, a larger tank (I currently have a 20 gallon), and a large turtle dock. I need help deciding on a relatively cheap Canister Filter that is worth the money. Does anyone have any opinions on the situation?

I have a Hermann's tortoise and I have been using repti-bark because thats what she had in her enclosure when I got her but now, im starting to think that she might like a different kind of substrate in her enclosure and it gets all kinds of nasty when it gets wet so, after a while, the...

The weird part about it is that when they're on their basking dock they lay on/with eachother and they seem like best friends but when they get into the water together (only sometimes) will the map do his little fluttering dance. What will this aggressive behavior turn into? Will the map try to...

Hi, everyone. I was wondering if anyone could give me an explanation as to what behavior my map turtle is displaying to my RES. I keep my eye on them to make sure he doesn't get hurt and to me, the map doesnt appear to be trying to hurt him. Any ideas? My Map fluttering at my RES part 2: Map...

Thank you. That is great advice because I honestly didn't know that they were dangerous. I will get it replaced immediately. Is there anything else that should be changed, added, or removed?

The enclosure is 1 foot tall, 4 feet 7 inches long, and 1 foot 5 inches wide. Its way bigger than the tank I recieved her in. She actually has room to adventure and move around.

I finally got the basics of a tortoise enclosure built. It still needs to be worked on but I would definitely appreciate any tips or advice on what can be done or added to it.

It lets me click on the picture and I press "attachment" button and it says "processing" but never actually attaches the picture to the post.

I cannot attach my pictures on here anymore. I've tried on multiple occasions in multiple ways but it refuses to let me. So, i dont know what to do about it anymore.

It wont let me attach a picture at all. I've tried a few different ways. I'll try again because I would really like some advice on it.

I finally put together a suitable enclosure for my Hermann's. Im going to keep adding to it because I know its not perfect the way it is but she has much more room to explore than before.

Wow, my basking temps are usually in the mid to high 80's. The highest it gets is like 90. So, should I raise the temperature? If so, how? A bulb with a higher wattage or moving thd light closer to the tank?

One Map turtle and one Red Eared Slider.

Can anybody tell me what the ideal temperature range is for my turtles basking spot? & do your turtles spasm when its too hot?

Okay, great. I didn't think they needed it so, I stopped using it but I just wanted to double check.

I was turning on my Aquatic Turtles infrared light at night but I really doubt that they are basking at night and it doesn't make the water any warmer so, my question is do they need the light on at night?

I've been looking at those external basking docks but I haven't figured out how i'd make it yet.

I was wondering if there was a minimum amount that I should leave between the basking dock and the lid of the tank? I have a hang-on-the-back filter that I want to help keep the water clean but the current water level is too low for it to work properly So, I wanted to raise the water level but I...
