The infographic is a guide on how to care for Yellow Bellied Sliders, a common type of pet turtle. Here are the summarized points of care according to the infographic:
- Water Capacity: A single adult Yellow Bellied Slider should be housed in a tank with at least a 100-gallon water capacity. For raising adult male Yellow Sliders, some keepers use a 75-gallon tank.
- Basking Dock: There are two options for a basking platform for Yellow Bellied Sliders: build one at home or buy one.
- UVB and Heat Bulb: It’s necessary to install both UVB and heat bulbs in the enclosure to meet the turtle’s needs for warmth and UV light.
- Canister Filter: To keep the tank water clean, a canister filter is recommended as it pulls in dirty water and provides clean, hygienic water.
