Finally someone who explains the meaning of timer on outlet on! Hugh thank you!
YUSSS can't stress how important timers are, rly for everything including turtles!!! GET THEM PPL, THEYRE CHEAP TOO
😄
Best explanation. Thank you!
I'm a budding turtle owner. I have a male eastern painted and you have just been a blessing. In India, not much is told to us on how to give the turtle the best possible environment, and you've helped so much to keep him happy. First, I thought he would be lonely. Then you made a video on how turtles don't necessarily need tank mates and what kind of fish they go well with. Though I'm one of the few people commenting, the thousands who watch your videos are all also impacted. Keep doing what you do and may our support drive you forward! #hatersgonnahate
Thank you SO MUCH for this. I really, really appreciate the support. It's for people like you that I make these videos
Sure no problem!
The best time to buy these is after Christmas. They have them on sale because the are used for Christmas lights. I got mine for like 2 dollars.
Great tip Erin! Thank you!
Love your videos so much. Watched them all before getting our turtle and choosing a set up. Really helpful and simple to follow compared to other videos. Such a good turtle mum.... Love from your fans in the UK 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you so much Alice! I really appreciate the support
I agree. Timers make lighting carefree. That way the only thing you need to worry about when it comes to lighting is when a bulb blows or needs to be replaced
Yup!
Thank you for tips on how to use this device!
Thank you for recording and posting this.

Thanks for the video, timers are great!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much you had a nice presentation and I love your personality keep up the good work
Great video definitely helped
Thank you!
Hey!! Just wanted to give a heads up on these timers 😊 just got back from Walmart and found some, near to the same I don't even think there is a difference, at $4.47! There's one that's a buck less but it doesn't have the ground (the third wheeling metal part lol) anywho, thank you for this!! I'd never have even checked them out. I thought they were super expensive haha! Have an awesome day!
Yeah! Thanks for the tip Melanie!
great video!!!
Thanks Antonio!
I just love your videos 😍
Awww, thats so sweet of you! Thanks
You’re welcome Turtle Girl 😊 beautiful drawing
Thank you
Love the videos! I just got a lighting kit and a timer so after 11 hours there should be no lights on in the turtle tank at all? I only have the heat lamp and UVB lamp
Yes! I need more timers. I have only two tanks that aren’t on timers and it’s a pain to have to manually switch them on and off each day.
Haha, do it! Makes life so much easier :)
Can we use fluorescent submersible lamp and sponge filter for Terrapin ?
Thanks
welcome :)
Is the timer for the light in the tank or for the uvB bulb? If not what bulb?
How do u get the pins back in the "up" position
I got a smart plug in and I have it set so the light turns on with sunrise and off with sunset
👍👍
Saves you brain power too, love it 😂
How I setup like on between 6pm-12:30am
Do you need to set it up everyday?
Why do i need to turn off my lights ? Why not keep them on ?
does the turtle lamps botton have to be flicked on for the timer to work ? dumb question
No such thing as a dumb question!
Do u use tap water for ur aquarium? If so what chemicals do u use to dechlorinate the water? Love ur edits btw 😁
Yes! I dechlorinate the water with API's Stress Coat :)
Why stress coat? Why not API turtle conditioner, it’s made specifically for turtles, cheaper too.
InhaleFumes I got it because it's what I have used for fish and was cheapest at the time...I think $6 for a 16 oz. bottle. Also, I tend to distrust products made specifically for turtles when there is something in the fish/aquatic world that does the same thing and is (generally) cheaper. Most of all, just personal preference :)
Gostaria da legenda em português por favor
So turtles don’t need the lights on all the time ?
Nice!........ps....I want a Turtle Drawing!!!!!!!
Haha, thank you! :)
I have a Macquarie turtle, they look super derpy 🐢
Awesome!
hey girlie, yes ma'am. I have timers on all 15 of my tanks.
Woot woot! Timers for the win :)
What's the brand of the timer? Thanks 👍 Great video!
Found it! Thanks 😱😂
we just had a power outage yesterday, the timer itself stopped working when the power came back on...
bummer!
hey i live in australia and i'm not sure what turtle to get that is easy to take care of like the eastern painted turtle
mahek jattana
I got a murray short neck turtle. Playful & easy
Scoop the poo & uneaten food once a day, feed the turtle. Make sure the basket lamp is on. Play with the turtle. Help the turtle to bask. Change 25% of water once a week & clean out the filter.
Not sure of what is legal in australia, but my next suggestion would be a mud or musk turtle! Small, easy to care for, and usually pretty common :)
silverback I've got one too! There also called maquarie turtles, mines name is albert. He likes to fall asleep in me lap in some blankets 🤗
I have this same timer... Thanks alot
Where the pointer go? Help!
Wow! That is nice I check the page on the bottom for the artist. I need to buy this light at Walmart great tip.
We got one of those timers at a thirft store but idk if were going to use it since were usually here still it might come in handy later down the road but land turtle by window and gets his sun naturally we do have light if he needs it
You talked about everything except whatever should talk
Checked out the artist. Great work but he didn't have any reds or maps.
Hmm...maybe I can ask him :D I think most of his art is based on wildlife he sees around his area :)
yup, that would make sense. I didn't think about that, being what he sees around him.
Is it ok to leave the lights on all the time?
Uhhh i found my timer at a Dollar store lol
really? sweet!
I agree and disagree. For turtles timers dont really matter because there is no such thing as to much light for a turtle. I would only get one for a turtle tank if it has plants because to much light is unhealthy for plants. The only upside i really see for a turtle tank is algae control and saving electricity. Also maybe consider getting wireless lights which you can set to turn on and off without a timer or anything once they're set they will run on that schedule forever.(of course you can change it) XD
Well it’s not natural for the animal to have light 24/7 for their circadian rhythm.
im not saying have the light on 24 hours im just saying having a lights out time with a 1 hour variant isnt too bad.
Fair enough, I just appreciate timers because then I don't have to remember to constantly turn the lights on and off. If I forget even once, then I have a bunch of algae the next day...

You are beautiful #FISHFAM
Aw, thanks!
How can you have a video with no explanations on how to use the product?
Useless video. she wasted the whole time describing the usefulness of the timer and not how to program it.
You seem unsure 🤔. Not a great video.
sorry Mike
