This is not a good tank for turtles lol. it has an opening door and the wasted space! Zoo med makes awesome products for turtles though. You want somthing like a regular 10 gallon tank. that you can pimp out with turtle stuff.

This is for arboreal lizards or spiders, a turtle requires a more low profile inclosure.

Yes. You can set it to feed your turtle a few times a day. I use the large turtle sticks and they fit through the feeding hole. I have had the same batteries in it for over a year. I purchased it for when we were going on vacation and I am still using it. Just put a good set of batteries in it and set the timer to your desired intervals. Remember to check the amount of food distributed before you "set it and forget it"...put the big button and let it turn and drop the food in before you walk away. This way, you know how much your turtle will get at each feeding from the feeder. On average, my feeder, with a twice daily feed, it lasts a few weeks, sometimes a month, depending on how much food you have drop. Yes. You can set it to feed your turtle a few times a day.

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

My turtle has escaped from every tank I have had her in. When she was about to lay eggs, she got especially aggressive and knocked off the entire top with the heat lamp and jumped out, causing a huge mess and burned my wood floor. After I taped the clear top to the base, no more problem. : ) Watch out, though, she once used the side of the platform as a kickstand to propel herself off the side of the tank, doing pull ups.

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.

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.

NO! It is a great tank, but it is very small. It is good for 1 to 3 small fish. I have 1 beta in mine. I also have a turtle. He is currently in a 29 gallon tank which is really too small for him. Turtles need space.

i have it for a snake. i litely hosed it off before i used it & alot of the moss came off right away & continues to come off w/ each time i hose it off. a turtle could easily bite the pieces of moss right off its very stringy. i have no idea if a turtle could digest it or if its toxic to turtle. i wouldnt take a chance.

Hi Michelle, I would use them in a pinch. The dry ones float which is optimal for feeding for aquatic turtles. However, I'm wondering if your animal would be better served with live mealworms as a protein source. Live action snacks would engage the predator in your dragon. Hope this helps.

I have my Red Foot and Yellow Foot Tortoises on it, and my Wood Turtles and it works well. Must get the new version. The old version is terrible.

I have one in my 50 gal tank and it keeps up beautifully. I also have one in with my turtles and they are in about 20 gal of water in a 100 gal tank.

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......

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.

We use this to bring our tortoise outside in the summer, but must be careful because there is no floor to this product and the tortoises could dig out. I don't trust it for a gecko, which is used to squeezing into tight spots, as the gecko could climb through the wiring. We also have a leopard gecko and keep her in a fish tank with a heat pad underneath and rocks for climbing as well as an artificial rock with crevices for hiding and darkness.

Hi :-) perhaps you could put a very heavy rock or brick over the pouch (that you fill with rocks), so a turtle would be able to pull itself up. I bought this for a friend with a pool after she had me watch it while she was out of town. I was so sad when I had to get critters out that drowned or died from chlorine. My point being, I am not sure if a turtle could climb up the mesh, but she hasn't had any critters in the pool for 2 summers now. It's worth a shot!! Put it near the skimmer... However the water flows towards it :-)

It's not fragile. The plastic base might come off if a big fish intentionally tries to destroy it. A turtle, on the other hand... Not sure. It gets knocked around a little in my 37 gal, but a turtle is a different story. It's cheap, so order two, and try to break one with a pair of pliers. If it breaks, send the other one back, and consider it a cheap lesson learned.

The cord is really short, and its kind of heavy so I wouldnt try it. I have mine on top of the mesh and my turtle seems fine. Good luck.
