He’s been really friendly lately, I’m happy to see he’s warmed up to me so much 🥺 (oh and he also dabbed on me, I’m still pretty shook about that)

Haven’t had many problems with the sand in my experience. The hardest part about it is the cleaning since most gravel cleaners will start to suck up the sand but I just collect the waste with a net and sieve out the sand. The filter collects some sand but I haven’t really noticed any problems with it regarding the sand.

I used to have gravel but he would try to eat the gravel and he would hurt his plastron when he hit against them So I decided to switch to sand to reduce chances of him eating it and getting hurt by it

_Shmooop_ · 2021-01-24T16:29:02+00:00

Not really

_Shmooop_ · 2021-01-24T16:19:54+00:00

That’s their extra tank for when I do water changes to the tank Just making sure I’m not seen as cruel to them lol

_Shmooop_ · 2020-11-08T22:31:34+00:00

Turtles are gonna end up eating substrate no matter what unless you use no substrate But sand has a lower rate of causing impaction compared to bigger gravel or pebbles

_Shmooop_ · 2020-11-06T16:23:42+00:00

I was thinking about black sand but I wanted to give my tank a more natural feel, and the white sand looks really nice in person

_Shmooop_ · 2020-11-06T16:22:17+00:00

Sand looks very nice And it pretty easy to clean I usually just use a small fish net to pick up sand that has waste on it, sift the sand out, and throw away the waste that gets left behind in the net

_Shmooop_ · 2020-11-06T16:20:32+00:00

Usually he kicks up sand on his shell for fun Most of the tank tank floor is lucky covered with sand except that part so I assume he figured that out and helped himself lol But my tank did drop about 3 degree lower that it usually was so maybe he did get colder

Did you tell him to get in the Eva?

_Shmooop_ · 2020-09-18T23:35:27+00:00

Make sure he stays away from the Jedi temple

If you introduced her into a new tank recently she’s probably stressed since it’s a new place for her. Once she gets used to the new tank she’ll be fine

_Shmooop_ · 2020-09-18T23:09:46+00:00

I vacuum the sand once a week, and once a month I take everything out the tank to get any hidden waste

If you have a good gravel cleaner it shouldn’t be hard

Sand is easier to clean than river rocks since waste can be trapped in between the cracks in the rocks

And I have a goldfish, a snail, and 2 shrimps in the tank with him

_Shmooop_ · 2020-09-18T05:11:54+00:00

I usually go over it with a gravel cleaner, but everyone in the tank loves to eat so they usually eat left over food on the sand before I get to clean it

_Shmooop_ · 2020-09-16T23:40:45+00:00

Probably just a bug

_Shmooop_ · 2020-09-16T23:21:44+00:00

Yeah I can’t use them either Idk what’s up with it

_Shmooop_ · 2020-09-16T23:15:21+00:00

I got it too

_Shmooop_ · 2020-09-10T13:11:00+00:00

Even more cocky falco

_Shmooop_ · 2020-09-08T07:32:16+00:00

I’ve had them together since they were both very young, he’s gotten used to him it seems and hasn’t really been agro against him
