    Great vid! You're right about being careful about where you collect decor. :) Another place to get rocks are gravel yards. I got a 5 gallon bucket full for $2.50 and they have a wide selection as well. Thanks for collabing with me! 😄

    I have been neglecting my pet turtle for 3 years ( i regret it deeply) when I first got him I kept him in a small tank with no special lighting. Your videos have inspired me to give my turtle everything he needs. I will soon be puting him in a 50 gallon kiddie pool outside,With sand on the bottom and plenty of basking areas. (I'll make sure he cant escape, or that no animal can get to him)

    I really like your content and have learned a ton from all of your fish and turtle videos! Your channel was one of the main reasons I started my own channel featuring my pets including my own fish and my baby/juvenile Fly River Turtle Crush in my 125 Gallon Tank. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for your channel and I hope to be even more inspired by you and apply the knowledge from your videos to my own tank, fish, and turtle videos! :) Thanks for your help

    Hi Danny! I don't know if you already did a video about the topic I'm going to talk about, but what do you do if a turtle has a cut? I don't have any vets for reptiles in my city and my friends turtle has a cut on her "arm"

    • @DanTheTurtleMan_
      @DanTheTurtleMan_  Před 5 lety +2

      First thing to do would be identify how it happened so that you can prevent the turtle from hurting itself again. Next to do would be apply a diluted Betadine solution and dry dock after application for about an hour. Turtles are tough and it should recover just fine, unless it's extremely deep.

    I am not sure what state you are in but this is just a offer as I think you are in my state of Florida. But would you sell or trade any concentric terripans babies that you produce in person for albino morph species that I produce? You are more than welcome to come here in Florida to hand pick as I don't like buying much online from many but like you, I have a few I trust. If you are not interested, what is your going prices on these as I know the price range well. Are you close enough by being in Florida?
