Other Turtle Discussion :: Water land Tubs

[Moose]

Hey do any of you have these water land tubs and if so, can you post pics of ur enclosure and the size? Thank you ^-^

[steve]

I think Diamondbacks has the large one...

[Moose]

I think SO too I think O saw it on his YouTube channel wasn't sure though, hopefully he'll hop on this thread lol I just wanna know if they have to put it in the ground or keep it above ground, if it needs any support underneath etc

You don't need anything, maybe a table if you want to use a canister with it. There are such things called turtle tables that people make with preformed ponds, should be much cheaper to make. A WLT might be great if the turt needs a sandy or dirt section.

^ I always found them cool, but I think they're a little overpriced.

Holy Turtles that is huge! I was wondering about the depth of it all and that just affirmed it for me how many DBTs do you have in one of them? And I LOVE your plant that you have in there, what kind is it?

@Steve-- Turtle table? Never heard of that I'm gonna need to do some google, YouTube research ^-^

[Moose]

How many gallons of water is in the medium one you've got there? Do you recommend a good filter for it?

[Moose]

Just read that thread, 65gallons that's awesome! Your 8inch turtle looked so small in it! Lol

[Diamondbacks4Life]

The plants are water hyacinths. Turtles in their was i think 6. This year it was only 2. Really hoping my diamondbacks nest next year so it will be alot. Again just a Dream lol.

Even though 65gallons isnt that much it is big compared to a 75gallon tank. Its about Twice the width, almost twice the length compared to a 75gallon tank. Just doesnt have depth which is about 10inches. Its perfect for breeding pair of turtles though. Low depth so they cant drown, large nesting area.

[Moose]

I'm definetly gonna invest in them, they seem really neat! Every time I go to the pet store their water hyacinths dnt look like that is there a way I can order them somewhere online? I for see that you will have a successful breeding year next spring DBT4L you deserve it! I was gonna go to the reptile expo but they come right after I leave for basic training (

[Linus]

Are there any pond stores nearby you?

[Diamondbacks4Life]

Or just get off ebay. Alot of people who own ponds told me to buy off there. Im gonna try it next year.

[Moose]

@Linus- actually there is! I'm gonna check it out this weekend! ^-^
