[…]for growing turtles. Heat Be sure to write in for recommendations as to proper water, air and basking temperatures, as each varies by species. Recommended The Exo-Terra Submersible Turtle Heater is designed to withstand the havoc that active turtles can unleash on “lesser” heaters. Turtle Tough Halogen Bulbs provide UVA […]

Many aquatic turtles make wonderful pets, but nearly all share one troublesome trait – they are messy feeders, and keeping their water clear is often a major challenge. Today I’d like to present a simple, time-saving feeding technique and review some helpful products such as undergravel filters and gravel washers. […]
