I think it's also important to mention that all turtles are different and it's important to pay attention to behavior and habits of your individual turtle to understand what they need, how much to feed them, what they prefer in they're enclosure, etc

My son found a painted baby turtle also in a pool they were closing for the winter. He took it home and then had to move , and had nowhere to keep it. So I ended up taking it. Cause it was too cold already to let it go. Still winter here so I was wondering if someone wants it or is it ok to let it go in the spring? Next I just heard they're not legal to keep in New York.

We found a baby American slider at our front door. We are not sure how it arrived there but was want to provide a healthy environment for it. Thank you for such amazing instructional videos.

We had a turtle lay eggs in our front yard. It’s the red eared slider. This has helped getting a temp setup for them before we take them to the pond. The mom came from the pond, so they are wild. All we want to do is make sure they are ok as newborns. If we take them to AC, they will just be put down.

Thanks I'm planing on getting 1 or 2 turtels

Hi Dan. Can you advise me on caring for baby land tortoises? Mine are RED-FOOTED tortoises, I believe they are called in Enlish. I live in the French Caribbean, and here they are referred to as MOLOKOI, or CHARBONNIÈRE À PATTES ROUGES. One of my 4 eggs hatched this morning. I have them in a cat litterbox that I made into an improvised incubator with fine earth and a touch of donkey manure. This was 6 months ago. I took it out of the litterbox and put it in a very small empty cardboard box with a bit of water in a jar cover. (They can drown in very little water.)No food. However, I feel to put it back in the litterbox with some hibiscus branches for it to hide under. These turtles love to eat hibicus leaves as well as various tropical fruit. Should I provide food for it this early? Thank you for any advice you can provide. Gai...

Do you have any hatchlings for sale? I currently own 2 musk turtles and would love to add some terrapins

Hey Dan enjoyed your video. I have been wanting to get a diamondback Terrapin for a while now. I was wondering what you do with your big ones that are outside in the winter? Maybe I missed the video. You see I was wondering if I could possibly keep mine outside year around once they get bigger? I live in Texas and it definitely does get down below freezing here but it’s not near as cold As other places, and I didn’t know if maybe some of the different sub species of Diamondbacks would do better in my area than others? Thank you

He keeps his turtles that are in the big pond outside during the winter. If they are younger or have something going on with them then I would set up a tank inside but

What do you suggest I do I have 3 turtles one has his own aquarium and two share a aquarium I brought the two together and they have been sharing the same tank for 7 years but I don't think they get along very well IV noticed ones tail is white at the tip and I believe it's from the other turtle nipping at it also one tends to jump on top of the other quite aggressively should I separate them ?

Thanks

Hey I bought baby river cooter and have a tank and the bulb the plants but I don t have the heater and filter so far can they survive for some time before I get my hands on those 2 bad boys? Also he s here a couple hours but he s still not eating I hope it s normal

Hi Dan, just wondering why a basking platform isnt necessary for the babies to bask and dry their shells. Do only adults need to dry their shells?

Dan, what filter are you using in this tub?

I found one today and it was 34 last night. Will it be ok. Seems very lively. How long does the light need to be on. It gets severel hours of real sun.

would you recommend a Yellow belied slider?

Hey I’m interested in your baby turtles and I would like to know how I could get one, if you are going to sell them in the near future after they get a little bigger.

I will hopefully be getting a new turtle in a few months so I need to know how to care for them

What do you do if a sick turtle you bought is sent to you sick I spent a lot and lost my baby turtle and did everything your showing my turtle would not eat the 11 days I had her she had all the lights same food she was sent to me sick I nursed this turtle and was heartbroken when I couldn’t save her I was very angry with the co on line I bought her from I have a baby red slider that is perfectly healthy eats good very healthy all I can say if you buy a turtle and you think something is wrong send it back most of all upon only get 7 days it does not say you can send them back but that’s what I should have done is now I am told by the company

Is it ok if I use a rock structure for cover? I made sort of a cave of rocks and the turtle always sleeps and hides there when relaxing.

Not sure what kind I have...someone gave my friend this and she said it was too hard to keep clean water, I have a fish tank so I am going to learn about it and raise it - can you help me figure out the type of turtle? I can send a picture.
