In my garden I found a snapping turtle hatchling that had a seriously damaged hind leg. When I found him, he didn't look like he was long for this world. Still, I ordered this Total Turtle Tank because it was inexpensive, and, while waiting for it to arrive, I kept the turtle in a small plastic tote with a bit of dirt, some rocks, a saucer "pond", and greens that I changed daily. He buried himself in the dirt, I never saw him moving about, and each morning I had to pull him out of the dirt and rinse him off, just to make sure that he hadn't died on me.
Then this modest, unassuming little turtle habitat arrived in the mail, and it has made all the difference in the world. It took me just moments to set it up (about five minutes), then I placed Grendel the Turtle into it. From really the first moment, he acted like a new-made turtle. He moved about, checking the rock bed, the hillock of dirt, and (best of all) the pond. When he slipped into the water, I decided that perhaps he might yet hang out a while on this side of the veil.
This habitat kit is markedly simple in design, easily set up for use, makes no pretensions to grandiosity, but does a remarkably fine job of giving turtles a clean, lively place to go about their turtle affairs. I recommend it to people in need of a turtle habitat, especially those people who (like me) haven't much experience in such matters.

Enjoy a Close-Up View of Your PetsGlass tanks are often bulky and breakable. We kept things simple with a blue polypropylene tank that still lets your kids keep a close eye on their pals. Its durable, see-through design is turtle friendly and weighs just 3.25 pounds. |
Designated Spaces for Swimming, Basking & EatingOur tank features 3 unique sections. One where you can place the included rocks to create a basking area. A middle area with a circular space for storing your turtle’s food. And a larger section with a climbing ramp for swimming. |
UVA/UVB Basking Lamp with BulbTurtles need light and heat to thrive indoors. Our included basking light, clips directly onto the tank and delivers essential UVA and UVB rays. It also provides heat for your turtle to bask in. Adjust its rotating head to best suit your tank set-up. |

Our tank comes with a Nubios MY-5E Bio Stream Water Filter and two low-water, internal hanging replacement filters. This true three-stage filtration filter provides cleaner, oxygenated water for your pets. |

Light popped. Dirty filter?
By Ashley V on June 26, 2021
The lightbulb popped as soon as I switched it on unfortunately. Would like a replacement. I like that it came with two extra filter replacements although it came with one replacement already inside the filter that was dirty despite being “brand new”. Hopefully their customer service is good. I Like the tank otherwise. The water needs to be filled up a little more than I’m comfortable with for our baby turtles in order for the filter to pull up the water. Keep that in mind when ordering for small turtlesBy Ashley V on June 26, 2021

Really neat
By Francisco Gallardo on November 10, 2020
Really like this set up for my baby turtle. Overall I find the bin light and easy to move while being really tough. The clamp lamp does an amazing job and the Filter is decent. The only problem I have is I don’t know where I can buy more filter cartridges for the filter. I would recommend it for baby turtles.
