Can I use this for my aquatic turtle? I just want to double check before I purchase this. Thanks!

That is what I used the light for. I bought 2, 1 for each light needed. Just read up on the turtle you have so you can buy appropriate bulbs. Also found the shorter bulbs (lower wattage) fit better regarding dome clearance & siting s\flat when bulb is in.

I'm not completely sure what temperature your aquatic turtle needs to be happy. Our ball python "MoMo" has been thriving with this Zilla product. Good luck!

I use this on a pond, forcing more flow through it with a submersable pump on the intake end. Turtles are quite messy. Depending on the size of the turtle, even one of these will need regular cleanings. I use mine for an Alligator. It works great.

I wouldn't recommend using under the bowl without water since it's intended for water use. I used it for about 3 gallons for my water turtles

I'm sorry, this was a gift for someone. I have no knowledge as to it's use for slider turtles.

Hello, I hope it`s not too late, to say that this, would absolutely not work as a turtle set-up... especially for red eared sliders. These guys get pretty massive relatively quick. Depending on its gender, in the first two years of its life... it could reach 3-6 inches long. Generally the rule of thumb for turtles is 10 gallons for every inch of turtle. I'm sorry if this bumbed you out. Turtles are really cool pets but need huge tanks. I wish you good luck! Casey

No, it is too large and needs to be fully immersed in water..go to google and key in heater for turtle tank...u should get an answer.

Answer here...probably. Just know its not tall and has to be stabilized to stay in place. Has worked very well for me over aquatic turtle tank. Hope this helps.

I don't know. It's probably best to contact Tetra. I don't really know the difference in a reptile tank and a fish tank. My guess in that it isn't a good idea, since it wasn't designed for fish the tank may not be able to hold up to the pressure of the water. The glass may not be the same standard as fish tanks, the sealant may not be strong enough either.

No, but I do use this with my betta. The sand is kinda rough, has a largish grain size, so it might hurt the cories when they go nosing around in it. You'd be better off with the Caribsea product that's just called Super Naturals, it's a white sand, softer and better for cories. =)

I have had mine about a year and its in 75 gallon tiger Oscar tank and have caught he attacking it several times and I have had no issues with it and he is 11in. So I think your turtle � should be fine

My opinion is that it's not big enough for a turtle...you can get 2 inches of water in it though

Yes. It should work for your adult turtle. Mine is about 10 yrs old and it works beautifully. The canister that holds the pellets is fairly small but you should get at least 1 week of feedings without having to refill it. Example: I went on vacation and was gone 5 days. Came back home and my turtle still had plenty of pellets left to probably last another 4-5 days. And this was feeding him twice a day. I love this feeder! It runs on AA batteries and even when it gives you the "low battery" status, you still have 3 days worth of feedings before the batteries run out. Hope this helps you with your decision!

I think the answer to that question would depend on what type of light bulb you use. This particular product does not come with a bulb, it's just a light fixture which is meant to replace the one that came built in to the lid of my aquarium. That being said: if this light fits onto the top of your tank and you find the right light bulb for turtles then in my opinion it would work great.

Depending on the size of your tank, that shouldn't be a problem. When I first got this one, I kept my original filter in with this one and it was probably the cleanest I've ever seen my tank. My tank is a smaller tank (10G) and they still had plenty of room to swim... I have two 3.5 inch turtles.

Yes. My friend uses it for various salt water species, he says it's the best to control food levels. I find it useful for reptomin in my aquatic turtle tank, but not so great for larger sized turtle pellets. you can adjust and test it as well. Highly recommend.

Sure but might be overkill for a few turtles. I would say that if it is a large tank with a lot of turtles it would do really well. However if it is a smaller tank with just a few you are pushing a lot of water without cause......
