Required Equipment for Turtles

Turtles need proper lighting, heating and filtration. Any equipment installed in their tank should be functioning properly before adding your turtle. For a tank that is already cycled, or a terrestrial enclosure, wait three days after installing the equipment before adding your turtle.

Turtles require:

UVB light.
Full spectrum basking light.
Floating islands, bridges or a land area.
Aquarium heater.
Aquarium pump and filter.
