I have a River Cooter and a Scorpion Mud Turtle in a 75 gallon tank that were recently adopted. Currently the tank is bare-bottom with the only furnishings...
I used to raise turtles (not this type) and will am look at my turtle files. That said they do like and need living plant matter as part of their diet so less...
Thanks for this post, as I came back from the hardware store empty handed re the black dap when it said bio seal(and reread more carefully the other poster who...
Does any one know a source for a spray bar which I would like to use in the soon to be done smaller paludarium. I keep seeing them in photos and did a search...
I went on you tube (but get tired of great set ups but some with no proper basking area so can't stand to look - many are in heavily planted aquariums)....
Good question. I've yet too find a plant that turtles won't eat. If you can give them enough light with as many compact fluorescents as can fit on top of the...
You always find the best stuff Sherry. I would love to see your set ups! Kate ________________________________ From: sherryazure <sherryazure@...> To:...
I volunteer at the Virginia Living Museum, we have River Cooters and Yellow-bellied Sliders on exhibit and we feed them lettuce and supplement this with an...
Sherry - EXCELLENT site......thank you! **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now. ...
Thanks I have no experience with that type (I am from Oregon). But a little research (in this case just cooter) shows a more varied diet will be better in...
Ed, I agree, but after sending more tons of research (I get curious and can't stop)... came to the same conclusion that some of the native VA (and elsewhere)...
Ed, I was going through resources while planning and working on my set up. I can't find a spray bar source (without buying entire filter) and noticed on your...
I no longer use that PVC. I found that the fog disperses just fine through the T joint. The PVC extensions served no useful purpose. But for what you're...
Ed, Thankyou.  I am not great with the plumbing... so a t joint is just the t shaped connector? So I will do what I usually do (though it ain't pretty,...
My anole cage had an explosion of gigantic slugs after I added some outdoor materials. I tried all kinds of things from picking them out to pans of beer. The...
After reading thes emails, I tried lettuce and shredded carrots for my eastern box turtle: no interest. Anything else i could try that is laying around my...
You're making it to difficult. Go to hardware store. Find a plastic T joint in the plumbing section. You can get one that's tapered. While there, pick up some...

Lol ED, not so easy in NYC! (hard to even find a sewing needle!) The home depot type of big box stores came in and drove out all the little mom and pops which...
Torey, I don't have a bug problem now or plants in general (no terrariums any more) but wish I had thought about that long time ago for pest in plants (just...
Did you catch this link to turtle rescue site (great guy and they have a turtle vet). I've worked with him for many years - very informative and caring...
I suspect it would depend on the type of plants you keep. I keep simple stuff, so it was no problem. Also, the dry ice itself didn't touch the plants, just...

Lol, funny Ed to think one can't find this stuff. We lived in Oregon later since age 10 and could find it all in Oregon out hiking, sand, mud, pebbles,...
My first attemps failed (ok it's a learning lesson). I put foam inside the (took a long time to shape) black plastic to fill them (and on falls one to hold...
Hi Sherry, I thought I'd reply, I have constructed quite a few vivs and tried different techniques, but I will have to say that I like using the egg crate for...
There is simply a large amount of water under the egg crate. It's its own little subterranean cavern. At first I tried to isolate it with tree fern panels but...
Thanks Ed, It's always an evolution and learning curve - that's for sure. Great for the internet so that the wheel is not constantly reinvented mho. I...
