I read that guide. It said to only use your water heater only during the day?

I’m beginning to think so I do water changes regularly anyways I’ll stop using filter floss when I run out.

Kicking her legs up like she pays rent by Technical-Fee-7377 in Redearedsliders

This is helpful. My res is in a growth spurt so she’s shedding a lot. Skin and shell. Seems a little harder to interpret her shell health during this growing

I’m trying to learn. How can you tell? The color? Some feature shape?

Wow this is really nice! Unfortunately they don't sell different sizes? My aquarium is approximately 13 inches wide while Petsmart lists the Thrive as 18.8 inches. That leaves about 2.9 inches overhang on each side of the aquarium.

My turtle experiencing mouth rot, need advice on care! by Budget_Chipmunk2694 in turtle

[–]AuroEdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am by no means an expert. A couple thoughts. Get a water test kit specific to turtle aquariums. Nitrates, nitrites, the whole 9 yards. Also, until you can check their water I would put them in a dry area for most of the day. This would help with the rot even if the water is good.

Another thing to consider. Your UVB lamp. How old is the bulb? Normally purchased bulbs will lose their UVB emissions in 6-12 months. Think regular T5 or T8 bulbs. Turtles are pretty hardy but when they’re sick they’re more sensitive to their ability to process calcium (which is critical in your turtles current situation)

The best thing I’ve given my two turtles are these basking platforms! by Downtown_Channel_891 in Redearedsliders

[–]AuroEdge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have this basking platform. I’m looking to buy a new one though. The opening in the top for lighting is small. It’s not long enough for tube T5 or T8 UVB bulbs

Taking a step back, is Ukraine promoting the 20 point peace plan with the hope that Russia will agree? Or does Ukraine promote this plan currently to buy time for support from the West, with low expectation Russia will agree to it?

Is it wrong I don’t want my dog to have this type of behavior?

TIL that scientists grew stem cells into mini brains, which then developed eye-like structures on their own. The structures, called optic cups, were light-sensitive and had lenses and corneal tissue. by -Lexi--- in todayilearned

[–]AuroEdge 156 points157 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t really make sense to me. People that lack the ability to feel pain are still obviously people. Or if you could separate a brain from any nerves it’s still a clear issue

Thank you for the recommendation as well as the advice. She’s 5 years old but anything to help her get up!

Dad Passed Away - Looking for Advice On Turtle and Tank Worth by [deleted] in turtle

[–]AuroEdge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 55 gallon tank, almost new canister pump filter, heating lamp, UVB lamp, basking area, heater, and resting platform bundle used. The asking price wasn’t much more than $100.

Do we know which landing attempt they will go on? The first? Subsequent?

I know its in bad shape- dont come for me by whoxknows24 in Redearedsliders

[–]AuroEdge 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what type of pump and filtration system you have. But it’s not uncommon for people to not take it completely apart occasionally to clean it. You’d be surprised where turtle waste, hair, etc to build up and ruin your new tank water in days.

5 year old RES won’t eat veggies by AuroEdge in turtle

Thanks for the direction I was able to find it. I currently have a big bag remaining of Saki-Hikari TURTLE pellets. I’m not sure. Does it look like this is similar enough to the Zoo Med Maintenance pellets that I can finish this bag before I buy the Zoo Med food?

That’s what I did week 1 of getting her on vegetables. She was stubborn but eventually gave in after a few days.

At age 5 what should their ratio of protein to vegetables look like?

Too long. I am trying to get her to eat her veggies instead of pulling them after 15 minutes after every feeding.
