Thanks heaps for all the helpful suggestions, I will certainly be trying all those. It just goes to show that you can do the hours of research and still miss a vital piece of information. I'm remined to keep on reading ? ?
I took out the UV bulbs yesterday and replaced with ones from my lamps...
Ah I see, I guess that means I'd better change the frogs bulb too ? That bulb looks like it would need a different socket then the one I have? Something like this?

Thanks heaps for...
I will definitely add more rocks, caves and plants. I would like to add real plants instead of fake ones but I'm guessing he will just rip them up? I would like to build him a land area as well but I'm not sure yet how to do this without getting soil into the water.
Is this the bulb you had in...
I have a floating dock positioned on some rocks, I'm planning to upgrade to a land area as he get's older. The water temperature is around 26 degrees Celsius, the basking temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius and he has one UV/UVA Bulb Halogen lamp and one ceramic heat emitter. He also has...

I have a 1 month old reeves turtle hatchling, I brought a filter for him but it turns out that it has a minimum water level that would be too deep. I had planned to do water changes every day until he is big enough to have that water depth, but this is stressing him out and I feel uncomfortable...
I've always loved all kinds of animals. When I was little and we begged our parents to take us to the pet shop, one of my favorite animals to see was always the red eared slider turtles and watch them swimming around in their tank until my parents said it was time to go. I always knew that I'd...
It's super exciting!!! They're amazing creatures. I've spent years watching other people's turtles on YouTube and now I'll finally be able to watch my very own, which is thrilling! :D
My instinct is to offer variety so I'm thinking that I'll introduce new foods a little at a time to see if he...
Hello
I am about to get a 4 week old Reeves turtle hatchling. I've been reading as much as I can about them (for the millionth time lol) but I'm suddenly wondering whether babies require a different diet to adults? I ask because the breeder has told me to feed him on a diet of frozen bloodworms...
