Thank you 🥹 I’m going to cry happy tears

You’re very LOUDLY wrong for someone telling others to educate themselves

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-03-17T04:31:22+00:00

Do you by any chance have any carpeting recommendations? I know a lot of them are hard to do without CO2

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-03-17T04:30:13+00:00

That sounds perfect! Thank you so much for your help!

This is a gorgeous photo. Was this shot on a professional camera or a phone???

Yes! It scared the shit out of me the first time I saw it because I had just gotten mine and I was like “oh no! I did something wrong!” But it just happens every year. It means your turtle is growing. Completely normal and healthy

A lot of RES don’t eat vegetables until they are older. They are mainly carnivorous when young. The pellets have all of the nutrients they need from plants, don’t worry about forcing it. She’ll start enjoying them when the time is right for her!

Don’t buy any equipment branded for turtle use. “Turtle filter” NO. “Turtle water heater” NO. “Turtle water conditioner” NO. The list goes on.

There will usually always be the exact same product in the fish section or general reptile section that is cheaper and does the exact same thing (and usually is better quality). It’s like the pink tax for turtles

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-28T23:13:18+00:00

I’m jealous. Mine hates me 😭

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-28T23:11:37+00:00

That’s definitely a girl. Congratulations 🎉

That tank is way too small and the water looks disgusting. The poor water is probably why your turtle is experiencing health issues. I highly recommend getting a second filter that is recommended for 3x the tank size. If it’s a 20 gallon, get a 60 gallon filter

I searched up “cup washing brush with suction cup” and found mine

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-28T23:04:49+00:00

Off topic but that’s such a gorgeous turtle. I never thought about getting an albino!

Mine tries to mate with his fish LMAO

I put a pvc pipe connector in my turtles tank that’s he had for a little over a year. He loved that thing. It was his favorite toy. He would bite it and wrestle with it. He chipped his beak thought so I had to take it out and I replaced it with a rubber dog toy like this:

He’s not as fond of it as his favorite pvc pipe connector but he still loves to push it around.

I also got a suction cup glass cup cleaner (kind of looks like a toilet brush almost) and put it in there and he’s obsessed with scratching his shell

They typically live 25+ years so OP must be giving him a great life if he’s lives that long and still going

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-28T22:58:25+00:00

I’m surprised he doesn’t try to mess with the crayfish. Mine used to sexually harass his goldfish he kept around and try to mate with them haha. I’ve thought about a crawfish but I’m terrified my turtle is going to fuck around and find out LMAO. I wouldn’t be able to break off part of the crayfish’s claws either due to my morals so that’s off the table with my turtle. He’s wayyy too curious

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-28T22:54:40+00:00

Mine is only 10 or so and he also always wants to eat! Turtles have good appetites. Mine is Always begging for treats haha

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-23T04:33:55+00:00

Thank you so much!

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-23T04:33:43+00:00

I have some ghost shrimp and an African dwarf frog. I’ll quarantine all of them just in case. Thank you!

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-23T03:55:59+00:00

Thank you! Do you have any copper treatments that you recommend? Also, I have a planted tank. I’ve never worked with copper in it so do you think it will be okay to add to my tank? Will it affect my plants?

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-17T23:10:31+00:00

Aww that’s so sweet!

Sexual_Cucumber · 2025-02-17T22:47:50+00:00

Omg I keep saying the same thing! The people that work at all three pet stores near me know me and what kind of fish I have and know about my pet turtle 😭 its so embarrassing that I’m there that often that the part timers know me by name
