I love building these. Thanks for watching!

@@crunchinfo loved this build, perfectly sized for one of the worlds largest freshwater turtle species

Snappy loves this. One year later with no maintenance, its crystal clear. When an ecosystem is set up correctly, it just works. Our builds just like this are outdoors and require no work too maintain tge water quality. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, I never do. Thanks for watching.

We dont sell turtles. Thanks for watching.

I know you don't sell,what's their value???

I think a 3-4" inch is generally selling for around $350.00-$450.00 US

No, I have never bred them yet. Maybe someday.

I really dont believe any water outside of my control to be clean. I also have been to fish farms where feeder fish are propagated and would say that is also a choice with risk. Most of those fish are raised on comercialy processed food made with additives of unknown origins and contents. I always put the live fish on a clean out tank and maintain them for a few days, for whatever that is worth. I really dont like offering live food th at hasn't first been frozen and dont for all others at the refuge. Freezing first helps to eliminate parasites and fungas. This turtle insists on live. Thanks so much for watching!

Snappy is bigger than a roast now!

Jeeze. . .mines at 20lbs, I didnt think they got THAT big. Though it makes way for alot of personality.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Just kind of in a holding pattern currently. We recieved another 1/2 inch of rain last night...

Thanks so much. I love just staying home and wandering around.

I use a biological approach building my filtration systems over mechanical. I have shown how to build a simple, cheap and large system in a video ill share. The reddish look is actually a brown that the camera tends to make look red. Its Tannins in the water. Tannin in the water I consider crucial during certain times of the year. Be sure to go through my channel and watch the building a filter cheap video and some if the videos about Tannins. Thanks for watching!

Yea, very oddly small. They are definatley 40 years old, cronicaled in photos and with the original paperwork. I believe it is due to living in a cold inviroment with no suplimental heat. They had a very short feeding seaso. They are in really good shape. They are "thick", not fat but thick in measurment from plastron to top of carapace. I have some 28 year olds we have had since hatchlings that are 5 inched longer in carapace then these two. Thanks for watching!

I love spending time at it. Thanks for watching.

I love what I do, thanks for watching!

Thanks so much and thanks for watching! I enjoy building these outdoor habitats as much as seeing the turtles in them. Another one on process for our newest 122 pound AST. Keeping watching.

They are very healthy looking. Very good eaters too. Thanks

Thanks! I enjoy watching them experience the outdoors for the first time. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much. I love what I do. I enjoy watching them experience the outdoors for the first time. Thanks for watching!

Its a good feeling. I enjoy watching them experience the outdoors for the first time. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching.

Great place to spend time!

That's a fairly large turtle you have. He is going to need a good ecosystem. I visited Snappy last month, its working great. Sand bottom, clear healthy water and Bill hasn't done a water change in over one year. Set up properly these systems take care of themselves. Thanks for watching!

I plan on it.

Connie is 12 inch carapace, I haven't weighed her yet this season. I feed anything over 8 inches every week, somtimes a little more often in temperatures 80° and up. Anything over 100 lbs every week for the first month and eventually every week and a half to two weeks. I feed all until they are full though. Thanks for watching!

@@crunchinfo thank you sir! What about hatchlings? Do you feed them everyday or once a week just like those juveniles?

@@groy4789 Hatchlings we treat differently. We feed them smaller amounts, not nessasirly fed until full, every three days for the first year, then we start giving them larger meals and maintain 3-4 day intervals. When they are 6-8 inch we move to once a week. All of that is at 78°-82° water temps. Hatchlings will over eat. In the wild they typically dont have food arrive at their mouth every day or even constantly like I see some doing.

@@crunchinfo Got it, thank you sir!

We have 7 acres. Thanks! Waiting for the warm up....

I have Tannins in the water. Its actually a light brown color but the camera gives it a red look when I shoot video. Thanks for watching!

It is not.

Yes! The large Males to big for breeding were removed from the ponds and placed in quarenteen until they recieve a clean bill of health. Eventually these males will be relocated to other educational facilities within the US

No soup for you! The large males were relocated to other educatinal facilities within the US.

There are couple brands of traps. The Gee brand works best for several reasons.
