This is a YouTube video titled "Tortugas acuáticas 🐢 Dispositivos clave y consejos para el calor del verano" created in August 2025. The content is a monologue or informational talk providing detailed advice on maintaining aquatic turtles during summer heat waves, including temperature control, filtration, lighting, and water maintenance tips. The speaker offers practical recommendations for turtle care but does not engage in a conversation with others.
Do you want to know what devices you need to have? If you have baby or juvenile aquatic turtles, I'm going to give you some tips to beat the heat waves this summer. Do you have aquatic turtles? Well, you'll be interested. Aquatic turtles are animals that generally need a constant temperature in their aquarium water. Ideally, they should have a temperature of around 24 degrees Celsius for the first two to four years of life. This will allow them to grow strong and healthy. High temperatures can cause the water to change conditions and increase the risk of a bacteria called Salmonella. It is important to always keep their container clean and wash your hands after handling it. You definitely have to have a filtration system. The filtration system helps with daily maintenance, but it also helps to maintain optimal water conditions in the summer. In addition, with the exchange generated by the breaking of surface tension, it will add new oxygen to the water. But it will also refresh the water, and this is very beneficial for your turtle. Another essential that a turtle tank or aquaterarium must have is a lighting system. It must have a lamp that has VA and vb. This will help with your animal's metabolic processes. What does this mean? That your animal will be able to grow properly. And above all, it will be able to take advantage of the rays that help strengthen its shell. I also recommend that you move the lighting cycle forward to the coolest hours of the day to avoid the hottest hours, so that your turtle will have cool water and will not be overwhelmed by the heat. Another essential for the whole year is a water heater. And in this case, this water heater fulfills a vital function, keeping the water between 24 and 25. I recommend a specific water heater for turtles. Once it reaches its maximum temperature, it turns off. Therefore, if the water temperature drops. In our turtle tank or aquadorarium, we have a device like this, the water heater, which will raise it and stabilize it. And what happens if the temperature rises to around 27, 28, 29? Here it is important to always have a thermometer to be able to understand what the temperature is and to be able to apply remedies so that your turtle's water is in ideal conditions. And what to do if the temperature of your aqua terrarium or turtle tank remains high and there is also a heat wave. That is when I recommend that you use a device such as a fan. You can also do a 25% water change and replace with new water. Of course, this water must be dechlorinated beforehand so that the animals do not suffer. If you have any questions, leave me a comment. Of course. Enjoy this summer with your pet. Oh.
