the 10.0 uvb reptisun bulb will reach up to 20 inches. The 5.0 will reach up to 12 inches so it depends on how deep your tank is as to which one you get. It is a very good bulb. I use the 10.0 on my bearded dragons. Their tank is 20 inches deep. Hope this helped. Good luck. :)

I know nothing about turtle requirements. However it is perfect for my bearded dragon (installed on one half of a 52 gallon tank) and most, if not all, reptiles. Watt and length will depend on the size of your hood and tank. Best of luck!

This bulb is perfect for all reptiles that require natural sunlight. You will need to get the right length bulb for your cage/tank, but it's a great product.

i bought it for my Bearded dragon.. i know nothing about snakes... Except they are a snake.. the tank i got is 47 inches long, 20 inches high and 20 inches wide.. it is he best tank i think that is available .. it is well made,it is Sturdy, yet it breaks down (if needed, such as a deep cleaning or moving..) in 16 mins or less with one screwdriver.. it will secure your snake from escape and all that.. it has top screen locks, and frony door lock , if you decide to use them.. i cant tell you how Awesome it is., it really is the Best available.. at least in the usa.. i say that because, while i was doisawng months of research, .. i saw one that was of similar value in the UK but they don't deliver to USA.. and i do not think that one was as amazing as this one., .. i can and will answer any of anybody questions about this amazing quality and value of a tank.. i am the only reviewer for this Tank and i take the job Seriously.. lol .. i can post pics, whatever anybody needs.. just ask..

Hi Kathy, As a FOWLR ( fish only with live rock) tank it will be extremely easy to maintain. ( Ive got the same with corals and an anemone and they're great!). I would recommend the protein skimmer and marine test kit with this.

No, it's too big for a 10 gallon tank. You have to upgrade to at least a 20 gallon tank. But it's worth it. My turtle loves his new habitat.

Manually fill canister with water. Pump the heck out of it. Add more water thru tubes. I found advice from red eared slider turtle owners Facebook page.

That tank looked way too tiny. I have mine in a 3 gallon tank with an undergravel filter using an airstone for flow. Has worked since I got them, rarely needs cleaning ever. I have 12 in that little tank though. It is circular and they really seem to love the shape as they continuously swim around and around. They didn't do that in the 3 gallon fish aquarium with a filter? Good to see them active. Regular filters could all damage the shrimp so undergravel is much safer for them.

This one is NOT recommended for water tanks. I believe ZOO MED does make one specifically for turtles. They are great to deal with, call them directly and they can answer any questions. I have used them for years and always found them great to deal with. Hope this helps.

It's underneath the tank and the tubes run up to the tank, one feeding in and one feeding out. Probably good for fish but I have turtles and it was not at all adequate -- I barely used it and am looking to sell it cheap ...

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.

This one would cover most if not all of your terrarium. Reptiles need to have a location where they cool off so in a small space as that i personally would get the mini dome. Either case make sure the dome is at least 6 inches away from the highest point your snake can reach since it does get hot. If you have a vet that you regularly go to maybe contact them for more information on heating for your pet.

I have one for my 20 gallon regular tank with three small turtles. I would recommend it for a heavily stocked 20 gallon.

I switched from an eheim pro about a year ago. Had the eheim for many years but had a lot of issues including the dreaded intermittent leak. The Fluval is great, simple and does not look like it will ever leak. I have it in a 200 gal tank with 2 mature res turtles.

depends how big the turtle is.. its a beautiful tank but small. I have a few little fish in mine. I wouldn't put a turtle in it

Stay away from terrariums with turtles and go with an Aquarium. Wait till the petco or petsmart 1$ per gallon sale and get a 40 breeder. Those are the best tanks for turtles!

Greetings, for a tank of little ability I do not particularly recommend it. will have too much turbulence, like a hurricane.Look for a more consistent eg 240 Koralia nano.

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.

You should be fine with this feeder. There is a little sliding "door" that adjusts for the size of the food and the amount you want to fall out per feeding. The big button in the back will allow you to test the food quantity that is dropped before you have to wait for any timer setting you have set. I've used this with very tiny turtle pellets and with the turtle sticks. It does well with different types of food. The only thing I didn't like it with was fish flakes.They tend to stick because of the moisture. But pellets and sticks work just fine in my experience.
