Care of Turtles

no.

I don't know how long ago you asked this question, but hopefully you've found your turtle since then! Be sure to look in all nooks and crannys - and under furniture, even if you think the spaces aren't big enough for your turtle to fit. They like dark, and will head for the shadows. I've found mine in the back of closets, and behind large wall units. Sometimes quite a chore to get them out! Good Luck!

It depends. If it's an adult turtle grown to it's full size, it can live up to 180 years.

i know a female turtle named beatrice if thats anyhelp

It depends on what type of turtle it is. At young ages though most turtles are mainly carnivorous, so turtle food brands like Wardleys or ReptoMin are often suggested. Remember though when feeding that large amounts of protein causes shell deformation and internal organ stress (and in severe cases failure). A good guide to avoiding this problem is only feeding the turtle how much would fit inside the head if it was hollow once daily until around 6 months of age, and then every other day after that.

A good site to tell you the individual turtle species needs and care requirements is Austins Turtle Page.

Water

and or alcohol I've tryed this once and the turtle is still alive... must be good for them long live bad harry

some turtles do like a box turtle and a gopher tortoise do

It can eat cake

Turtles lay their eggs underground [after digging a hole] they don't go underground with them.

Your turtle may not be eating because he is new, but if he is sneezing too he may have PNEUMONIA. PNEUMONIA Symptoms - refusing to eat, sneezing, bubbling at the nose/runny nose, raspy noise when breathing & lethargy. Possible Causes - Pneumonia is caused by damp, cold, draughty conditions. Having warm water & cold air can also cause it, & visa versa. Solution/Prevention - FATAL IF NOT TREATED - TAKE TURTLE TO VET! Immediately move turtle to warm dry housing. Use a tungsten light to warm air temperatures. Fix problems in regular enclosure by ensuring land & water temps. are both warm. Stop draughts from windowa and doors. In Winter place a lid over the basking area of your turtle's enclosure. With thanks to TJ Thornton's book: 'Keeping Red-eared Turtles in New Zealand'

the green sea turtles are more importiant then what most of us think.the green turtle helps keep the food chain and webs on a steady base.when more die the other species may die or over populate as well.

well if you are eating or just ate then stop reading. But if you havent then continue. It looks slimey and wet and comes in colors of brown and green. Its really gross.

A turtle shell can weigh anywhere from less than an ounce for baby turtles to several hundred pounds for an adult leatherback sea turtle. Their shells weight a considerable amount but provide the only protection for their delicate bodies within.

painted turtles have many colors that's why people say they are painted, but their colors are red,orange,yellow,and olive green that darkens as they get older. i know this because well i own one. anyways it was a pleasure helping you...if i did;) i hope so:)

I have two red-eared sliders, and a yellow-bellied slider. I feed them once a day, everyday. I feed them all at the same time--in the morning. It is usually between 6-7am during the school year, or 9-12am over summer break. I use turtle food bought from Pet Smart. In it is mini sticks (scientist made stuff,) mini shrimp, and baby krill. My turtles eat a lot for their size(1inch in diameter)--about 15-20 pieces.

He stretches and twists his neck backwards to grab a hold of grass, then uses his amazingly strong neck muscles to flip his body over. He can actually support his own weight with his mandibles! If it's still difficult for him, he'll rock back and forth on his back to get up enough momentum to flip himself over too. Usually he can flip himself over in 1-3 short seconds.

A turtle is not a fish, it is a reptile. Why Would you think that??????

It's illegal to buy or sell box turtles in New Jersey. In fact, you get a pretty hefty fine if you do (up to $5000). You have to first get a hobby permit from out of state and a receipt of some sort that proves where it came from. You can call the Fish and Wildlife Association of New Jersey for more information on the permit. Then you can get the turtle. But if you find a turtle, don't even touch it. You have to call the Fish and Wildlife Association to get information on how to rescue it.

as big as a dinner plate / big

yea i guess, the will mostly leave each other alone.

The slyder requires different lighting than the Oscar. The trutle may try to eat the fish. Unless he is a larger fish. The slyder does not require a temp controlled environment like the Oscar. They also require different pH levels. You could try it but I would not expect great things for the Oscar. Turtles are also very dirty and may require another filter poss and under gravel. To make sure you turn over enough water to keep it cleaned.

Typically you will notice increased noctural exploration (roaming) of the pythons enclosure. Also occasionally the snake will be tempered and "bitey", if all husbandry requirements are met and the snake is not stressed.
