the part where franklin scratched his shell on the pvc is sooo CUTE

get yourself a man who is this extra with his pets

This turtle was living a life unlike any other turtle had lived before😂😂😂😂, and what a fascinating creature you've chosen to feature in your content! Bravo!

This is fantastic. You really go the extra mile for your animals. Keep being an inspiration for pet owners!

I was wondering how old you are. I've watched several of your videos and I'm really impressed with your presentation and knowledge of reptiles. I look forward to what you bring to the future of the reptile hobby.

what a nice shell boi

The vid was stil on the add and the like button was alreaddy blue!!

That's awesome

I love this video so much. The part where Franklin is snoozing in the bridge is the cutest. Its so nice to see how Franklin has gotten to be so happy over the last 8 months. Also if you can find water hyacinth turtles love that. You can usually find them at aquatic plants stores. And if you set up a smaller or aquarium where the plants will not be disturbed they will self reproduce. So eventually you can have a constant supply.

Very cool setup!!

Nice vid and I think Franklin is happy about the bridge

You should add some quick fish to the pool, like (rosy red minnows) My turtles used to live in an indoor 55 gallon tank and couldn't catch the fish their, so I'm sure it would work out in your little pond!!

Cool!

youre so creative

Your turtle is so cute when he was sleeping

Your turtle is so social. Love your pool idea.👍

Well done!! This is great!

Very creative idea! Enjoyed the video too, Franklin is like a little puppy basically lol

Some good water plants that turtles eat are java fern and common water weed. These are pretty common and you can get them from aquarium supply stores

Had been thinking of building a ramp and I like your idea ! Thanks.

that’s pawsome! imma try it out for mine tooo 🙌🏻

Looks great Alex!

My turtles loved Duck Weed and mini cat tails. They didn't touch the water Lilly's. And the flowers are beautiful. Also if you put a bunch of minnows or feeder guppies in your turtle will be healthier from the calcium she/he gets from the bones.

Aww he's so cute!!

Goherping is the best channel EVER

It looks like he really enjoys it good job

This is really cool dude!

I genuinely want to be friends with this guy lol 😂

Franklin's a cute little MESS. 💚

This is really awesome. I just hope your carpet doesn't get ruined xD

Your turtle is so calm :)

His turtle is so tame

Bro i love it. In definetly doing this for my turtle

this is so important to me i love this so much..

1:40 "Those toes look yummy" my turtle used to nip at my fingers and that made me think of that comment

What you could do to make the mat you put on there sturdier is to like weave a thin rope on the whole ramp, just by wrapping it over and under between the 2 sides, before putting on the mat

Man we are so trusting of you, if you gave us totally wrong information we would believe you without hesitation. Lol keep up the good work man

you can totally use astro turf and caulk it on top of the plastic material for him to have something to grip onto

What a sweetie! I'm going to build one to go between two ten gallons.

this guy loves u 1:39

Probably should still have something for him to dull his claws on in there

Could you do a video on ball python feeding and what size mice/rats they need as they grow? I'm getting a ball python soon and I'm still a little unsure on what type of food I should purchase before getting one. Love your videos btw! They're really helpful.

FYI if you ever want to make more pvc things in the future, get a pvc cutter, should be under $15 and will cut your pipes within seconds

maybe on the front half of the bridge you can put reptile carpet

He must get water everywhere lol

Hey! I have a question, what kind of tub are you using? I'm looking for something similar for my turtle, meaning pretty big but also safe enough to keep pretty much filled with water in your home. Would really appreciate a reply!

I heard that duckweed and water lettuce make great floating snacks for your turtle and I know that water lettuce is very hardy to care for. Just a suggestion though. Also have you ever thought about giving him a cuttlebone if he doesn't have one already? Those are good sources of calcium and can give him something to chew on. My stupid cousin practically abuses his turtle tippy (adult male lives in a 20L tank, doesn't have anything interesting in his tank and is constantly walk swimming!) and when I gave it a cuttlebone it ate it right up and even tried to eat the fake plants I bought him. That's obviously a telltale sign he doesn't take care of it right and then they get offended when I try to correct him. Ugh. Anyway, just a suggestion.

This is both adorable and highly informative! Very neat, Alex. If you don't mind me asking, where is Franklin allowed to go in your house? I would never be able to do something quite like this just because I'd be afraid of the turtle (I don't have one) going somewhere I can't manage him.

How do you make your turtles so unafraid and tame? I have two baby sliders atm that I have been taking care of in a twenty gallon tank, and I am planning on getting a small pond set up when they get bigger. But neither of them are as calm as Franklin here. They always like to snap at me. What do I do to help them?

His thicc thigh😂😂😂😂

How old are you btw? So cool that you do something like that for your turtle

what instrumental did you use at 0:59?

Can u make a red eared slider care video i would really like to get one and have a pond just like yours but i cant find any good care video on them.

Can you do a video for sunny's birthday?? I would really enjoy it! (I'm about to get a ball python soon too!!!)

I have two red eared sliders and one mississippi mud turtle. I plan on getting a snake soon. Get alot of inspiration from your channel. :)

Franklin is *T H I C C* bih Lemme see that shelly

you should give franklin duckweek! onyl at 4:20 pm though

Hi, what model filter are you using ? I want to do the same kiddie pool set up for my 2 red ear slider and I don't know what filter to use, they are both 10 years old.

Where is a good place to get a reptile?

That's really cool

Do turtle shells have nerves?

safe eatable plant you can put in is duckweed

How often do Franklin's scales shed? I rescued a turtle and he's shedding his shell scutes very frequently. There's no blood or shell rot, his shell isn't soft and he's still eating and acting normally.

Not often, at most he's only done so twice I think in the past year. I'm sure he did a lot more when he was younger (but I didn't have him then)

Hmm, I've noticed that snakes really don't like being able to hold onto anything, so if they're on a slippery surface, they sometimes freak out and move around because they're basically defenseless without a grip. Maybe it's related to that?

I was just watching one of your older videos that you talked about Repti-safe in and I was thinking that it would be cheaper to use a dechlorinator marketed for fish. I typically use one teaspoon for 10 gallons of water with the brand I currently use. And the directions for Repti-safe say the same thing for 5 gallons. Just thought I would let you know.
