I don't usually post stuff like this but I have a soft spot in my heart for turtles and sea turtles are especially cool and terribly endangered. https://www.environmentcalifornia.org/action/oceans/turtle-tour?id4=ES

Here are some pics of my turtles, i just got 2 new ones last week, i think they are enjoying the pond. I had to move my first turtle to another pond, he didnt like the NEWCOMERS, lol.
Just got home from Hawaii. Thought I would share the pics I took of the Sea Turtles that were coming up to the beach to eat. They were coming up very close to us. I was so excited to see them.
Okie, Dokie, and Artichokie. As you can see- poor Okie started the naming convention Okie has a forever home IF they realize the work involved. They are currently in my former pond/qt They feasted on the MANY tadpoles that once were in there and have yet to realize what the pellet food is....
I have had a pond for 10 years….Over the years, I have brought about 30 baby red ear sliders. Not one stayed…..I haven’t brought any for the last 4 years….Yesterday, I thought I saw something in the pond….Could it be!!!!! :rolleyes: No, maybe a bullfrog I was playing hide & seek with this...
Can RES eat succulents? I cant find a safe plant list for the life of me Im going to put a kiddie pool with 50% organic compost and 50% sand for basking, eggs (if necessary - def have a female), and what not. I figure this is a large space that could house more arid plants. I was thinking...
Not sure if its been posted before but I just came across it http://www.happyturtlespub.org/smf/index.php
We saw many turtles & tortoises in Hawaii last month. Including Sea Turtles that I posted here earlier. Makes my YES seem so small.:yes: Hope you enjoy the pics.:D:
I realize that this is the Turtle Forum, but turtles are reptiles, and this is a real dilemma for me, so I hope someone can help..... First, this is definitely a copperhead.I've seen a whole lot of rat snakes, corn snakes, copperheads, etc. in my life; I currently have a black-back ball python....
I have had a red-eared slider lay 8 eggs in my yard. I now have then in a container with dirt and am going to try to hatch them. Any hints?
Jeff: A female RES or YES can be gravid without the presence of a male and the eggs will not be fertilized. :eek1::eek1::eek1: OH NO!!! Mine is now around 15 to 18 months old. I think she will be mature somewhere between 3 to 5 years. I had no idea that I may have to be concerned about her...
I rescued this little fellow ,2 wks ago, as he was about to try crossing a busy 4 lane...He is a male Florida Box Turtle:yes:I'm hoping he'll find a Lady friend and they'll make LOTTTTSS of babies:D:
I was mowing dads yard and ran over the top of one and stopped before I got the other one. The one was lucky it was down in a hole.
This is some photos during the construction and final completion pics of a home created for an Eastern box turtle. The stream is filtered by a water garden on the "outside" of the enclosure. Some box turtles are not good swimmers and could drown, so the pond was built as a filter only. Besides...
I have been playing around with the idea of turning my 90 gallon pre-form pond into a turtle pond.....I love watching them, and enjoy seeing all of your pictures. I have some questions...... 1. Is 90 gallons enough room/deep enough, for a turtle? 2. If it is...What type of turtle would be the...

this is my seconed summer with turtles so i decided to redo my turtle island but any time you try to do improvments those pesky building inspectors always show up to put their two cents worth in
I have a Savio skimmer & am in the process of building a pond which will house several turtles. Was curious what techniques people use to keep turtles out of their skimmer without hindering (to badly) the skimmer's performance? Thanks!!
if i get a few big red ear sliders will they ruin the pond rubber liner? also if i have a koi pond. will they mess with the water quALIty? and screw it all up?
hello, i have just adopted three baby red ear sliders. i have them heated now. but i plan to let them into my koi pond for the summer. next winter is there a way to hibranate them? or cant this be done? if so, how would one go about doing this.
I have looked over the board a bit and not really seen answers to the questions I have, so I registered in order to ask. I have 5 turtles currently in 2 aquariums. A Mississippi Map turtle, a peninsula cooter, a musk turtle and a Southern Painted turtle are in a 150 gallon aquarium. The oldest...
Hi all I am going to build a small turtle pond. ~350 to 500 gal. My intent is to put fancy goldfish in with them nothing to expensive in case they eat them. My quetion is I want to keep the filtration simple. I was hoping to do a skimmer to a 55 gal drum diy filter. I have 2 55 gal drums available...
I bought a 40 gallon breeder tank (36''X18"X16"+) to give Turtley some more width. I had hesitated cuz I didn't think I could use the Turtle topper with it, but I cut two wooden supports to fit on the lip of the tank frame and it's working well. I used some upright rocks leftover from the house...

I have a 7 year old male RES that spent the entire summer out in my pond. He acclimated himself outdoors very nicely (eating, basking, etc.), but I'm worried about how he is doing brumating/hibernating out in the pond for his first winter. The last time he ate was October the 2nd, so it has...
We have had Lily Pad for 16 months now. She was the size of a quarter when we brought her home from Daytona. She is around 4 to 5 inches now.:eek1: She is doing well in her patio pond. It holds 45 gal. of water but, I keep it at 35 gal. so she can't climb out.:D: The water is filterd at 300 gph....
Right now I have an internal filter and I'm doing 70% water changes. Now that the fish are gone, I'll take Turkle out and do 100%. He's in a 20 gallon long tank so he has room to swim (and TAP ON THE GLASS)
I thought the minnows were a good idea and kept him company but they are all gone. Guess he'll live by himself now.

Turkle acts like he's starving. He get pellets in the am and shrimp at night,greenery in between. I know he's suppose to just eat once but do you feed them till they stop? His shell has to be hollow. I swear if he could get out of the tank, he'd eat me.
where would you hide?? Tommy Turtle has gone AWOL
are they compatible?

Pics of our turtle Lily Pad. She is a pet that we bought for our GD who is 7 years old now. We bought the turtle in Daytona last Nov. At that time she was the size of a quarter.

While I was in Tulsa, I found a few box turtles crossing the road. I kept 2 and built an outdoor enclosure. Luckily for me Tulsa has some of the world's biggest slugs :eek1: When I left, I released them on the road they were found. Apparently. they are illegal to have in GA, so I couldn't...

Right now Turkle would just be a morsel. How many put their turtles in with the koi or goldies?
This turtle dug a nest in our backyard on a pile of dirt excavated from our pond. She started in the afternoon, digging a couple of depressions before choosing the spot on top. The picture below was taken around midnight, June 14. By 6 am the next morning she was gone. We didn't...
