Care of Turtles

it wants a mate

No because I live in NC and i got a pet turtle from the beach and i went to Petsmart to get stuff and they said it is illegal to sell turtles in NC.

Yes in fact if u put your turtle in the bathtub u have to put salt in the water due to their salt water habitats

But if you put a turtle in the bathtub the water mst be a perfect 65% Farentheit

You shouldn't buy turtles online. They are kept in horrible conditions and shipped by mail to you all dried out, it can kill the turtle or the turtle will be siclly for the rest of his life. Try to find a pet strore that sells them or a friend that has some.

When turtles are born only about 1 in 100 make it to the ocean. The ones that do make it to the ocean can accidentally swallow some plastic. If they don't get caught in nets then they might survive until they are 400.

maybe a palmetto bug, they look similar to roaches.

The good thing about a baby snapping turtle is that they dont like to bask so u dont need a light. U should set the tank up with a rock and a piece of lettuce, or some kind of water plants so that the baby snapper can hide under it

Mine trumped literally 3 minutes ago, i had no idea they could but he did!

if white stuff is floating in your turtle tank. you should take your turtle out of your tank.Then you should clean your tank out. Or you can go and by a filter @ united kingdom.Its on (MAINE.ST.THATS IN EAST ORANGE)

well, typically they grow only up to 8 inches as an adult, so they dont grow so quickly seing how long they live

Yes unless your willing to to clean its enclosure once every week!!

It's more healthy for the turtle too

Red Ear Slider Turtles eat a variety of foods. Yes, they will crickets, you can also feed dried shrimp, pellets, krill, or blood worms.

Yes Crickets Are good for turtles growth and cells in its shell

Short answer: no. If your turtle's skin is swollen and bulging out of the shell, it is probably due to the fact that the turtle is not spending enough time out of water. A turtle does not live solely in water. Forcing it to constantly live in an aquatic environment causes the body to fill with moisture, causing it to swell. Give it sunlight and time to roam outside every day.

No. Not unless you're prepared to take care of all the baby turtles they will have together.

Yes. Turtles are very fond of leaves. Such as lettuce leaves and cabbage leaves.

no they breath through their noses

i think different turtles would probably look like different turtles!they look different from regular turtles you see, but similar!

well it depends where you brought it from, if its a totally diffrent climiate then yes, if not try to put it away from roads or near the site where you got it

Turtles don't generally eat tomatoes in the wild.Its best to feed small amounts of the tomato at first, then go for a whole.after getting used to it, it should take about 30seconds at most.

if u don't have to do the surgery i recommend not doing it because after his shell is taken off he has about 1 year to live if your lucky 3 my turtle had to take off his shell because it was cracked when he was born and after the surgery he lived to be 2

Try putting an ad in the paper, or in local pet shops (or on the internet at places like Craigslist) advertising that your turtle is up for adoption. You can also try contacting local zoos; some of them have petting zoos or zoo classes for children which they need turtles for.

Whatever you do, don't release the turtle into the wild. Captive turtles should not be released into the wild. Not only are they unaccustomed to finding food for themselves, they can also get sick from being exposed to germs that wild turtles carry, or, they can spread their own germs to the wild turtles, and kill off the wild population.

Some shark go under there prey and lift them in the air but mostly only great whites do that

Yes, it's very easy.
