Hey, is that PumpkinSherbert's video? :D

Sounds like they covered all the basics pretty well.

Yea, they make it look so simple too. I like that tank they had. It looks like it's custom made just for aquatic turtles. The only thing they mentioned that they probably shouldn't was the use of gravel. :roll:

that's flattering, but NO! not mine, i'm not by any means an expert.

i can't watch it right now, the new speakers are too loud and my boyfriend's sleeping in the next room. i have it bookmarked though :) maybe i'll rip a copy and take it up to the petstores along with my little fact sheet that i made, spread the edumkashun.

I was looking at the other videos and there was a snail that can grow up to 10 inches!

What a cute little curious looking turtle in that video! I loved where they were showing how to hold him and he was just looking around.

Some of it is very minimal requirements... though I think a video can be very educational and memorable. Seems like not everyone reads enough... a direct in-your-face video or animation might be a good idea.

Yea, some people can learn by reading while others learn better by seeing. Maybe Pumpkin's video could be done in conjunction with this forum's written work. Then you'd have all the bases covered! :D

Sounds good to me. People will retain best what they receive in multiple forms - reading, watching video, hearing.
