And in the summer, more than not performing proper maintenance, replacing the filter cartridges in the turtle tank is a mistake. Yes. Even more so in the summer, if you make these mistakes along with high temperatures, you have the perfect breeding ground for Salmonella bacteria. As you can see, it is a very dangerous bacteria. Of course, good maintenance, cleaning and hygiene reduce the risk to a minimum. Please do not make such basic mistakes as this. Having a cleaning kit that is only for the turtle. There are things that come in handy, such as a type of thing to clean the glass or a siphon like this one with a bulb. And that way you avoid having to suck and remove the water from the terrarium. Remember that there is a breeding ground that can harm you. Another issue that you also have to take into consideration is. Gosh, if there are children at home, children should always be supervised by an adult if they are going to have contact with the turtle or the tank. And please, afterward, have them wash their hands. Finally, if you are going on vacation, do some good maintenance. Two or three days before you leave, clean the filter well, siphon it well, and when you return, come back and repeat the action you arrive. Clean the filter well, siphon it again. The turtle will really appreciate this. And I want to emphasize again, the best way to avoid cross contamination is to always wash your hands well after doing maintenance and care for the turtle tank. And also, if you have touched the aquatic turtle.
