    I'm hugely proud of this turtle aquarium and how it turned out. I think it's a great balance of aesthetics and providing the requirements for Timmy the turtle...the problem is, this makes me want to get more turtles....

  • @MassisPipes
    @MassisPipes Před 3 lety +4

    Be careful with that bulb. First of all, a MVB bulb like this one should ALWAYS be mounted vertically to ensure the integrity of the bulb. Placing them at an angle greatly increases the risk of them breaking (which would be VERY bad for your turtle).
    Secondly they produce a LOT of UVB, like desert levels. This means that for the correct amount for a musk turtle, you'd have to place it at least 50cm from the heat spot, if not more. Just watching the temperature of the rock isn't enough, you need to take the amount of UV light produced at specific distances into account as well.

    A heads up keep an eye on that temperature, I use that exact bulb with bearded dragons hitting 40°C in their basking spots. The rock will heat up and that spot might get hotter, and no other land area to move onto to bask in cooler temps.

    @Andreas-gh6is Před 3 lety +60

    I'd say there is a little design flaw in this tank in that the only part above water is covered by the basking light, so he can't be on land and vary the temperature.

    • @jase123111
      @jase123111 Před 3 lety +25

      They don't really need to do that. They bask to warm up, and when hot enough they go back into the water where they can cool down. I am sure the light gets turned off at night too.. so he could come out at night and cool down also. This species of turtle rarely every basks anyway and technically does not need a dry land area.

      Yeah thats understandable. As he said in the video though, Musk turtles like Timmy don't really use the basking spot. I know from experience as well, I had a Musk turtle for many years and in all the time I had him I only saw him use it maybe 10 times.

    it's not a true hibernation, it's called brumation (long term turt owner here) and it can be dangerous to let indoor reptiles brumate unless you know what you're doing. If you don't, it's absolutely 100% best to wake them up when they try to brumate indoors. So MD is absolutely correct to wake him up! I'm in "wakey-wakey" mode with my tort right now too, lol.

    I already have 3 happy, green, naturally planted tanks. I was inspired and did quite a bit of research. I have a 20 gallon long in storage and....im totally getting an easter musk turtle. A 20 long is plenty of space even for life! I'll make some modifications to the tank. Take the top off to create open air. This will work nicely.
