Can this be used for a turtle and 2 inches of water

My opinion is that it's not big enough for a turtle...you can get 2 inches of water in it though

Not 100% sure about being water tight. Our local pet store did say it can be used for frogs , turtles, and lizards that need a moist environment.

That should be fine. Friends of ours are using it for their pet water turtle. But you need to keep an eye on the water temperature otherwise the water may get too warm ... If water gets too warm, my friends prop the bowl up with a couple of pieces of wood to keep the bowl an inch or so above the pad ... In fact, they mostly keep it popped up. We are in Florida, where it is warm anyhow ... That may not be necessary in colder climates / environments. Sibylle

Sure but might be overkill for a few turtles. I would say that if it is a large tank with a lot of turtles it would do really well. However if it is a smaller tank with just a few you are pushing a lot of water without cause......

I use it in a 175 tub for a 10" red eared slider turtle, I works well. I use it as pre-filter and a pond 2 gallon sealed barrel bio filter as a polish filter, and a pond pump.

it should but just barley you might have to rig the pipe a little to get more depth...also pending on size a ten gallon tank is suitable for only 1 turtle. just in case I would get the next size up for the filter.

It might be adequate for an aquatic turtle. I have one turtle in a 35 gallon tank, but it is not filled to capacity and so the heater works just fine. I assume you don't fill the 40 gallon tank to capacity, but if you have more than 30 gallons in the tank, the heater might might not be adequate.

I would personally try it out. My only concern would be it getting into the filter itself because the lid doesn't latch but that would be the most minor nuisance. You certainly wouldn't go through filter media as quickly as with a turtle! I woulld say go for it, just keep an eye out to make sure they aren't showing any signs of distress or aggitation. It should be fine.

My turtle tank I only had it quarter filled with water so the rocks for the turtle would be out of the water for them to sit in heat lamps, so I only had about 10-15 gallons of water running through pump and it works fine. I think it would work in 20 gallon you could have two pumps going.

Its not a turtle tank at all. Its for small bits of water, like a pond for dart frogs or something of that sort, but the main point of the fixed front is for deep substrates for a planted enclosure. If you really want something that opens in the front but would still be suitable for your turtles then you'd be looking at one of the large, long exo terras since Zoo Med doesn't produce ones like that. A better option for you though would be a 40g breeder tank that you can put more than 4 inches of water in.

This tank is mainly for arboreal animals. I'm not sure why you would need the extra ~2.5' of vertical space for a slider. I have no idea about the amount of water it can retain. Go for a shorter tank. It's a little cheaper and doesn't take up as much room. http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/turtle_terrarium_large.php

I am using mine for a turtle. I have a filter in it but have the filter wedged between rocks. I may put heater in later but would have to figure out a different way to hang it. Hope this helps. Really like tank.

I have one for my 20 gallon regular tank with three small turtles. I would recommend it for a heavily stocked 20 gallon.

I agree with Monique & D Vetrano. Small turtles possible but for larger ones I doubt it. I also think the incline of the ladder would make a difference. I've had frogs sunning themselves on mine as well as birds using it to get closer to the water.

No, it is too large and needs to be fully immersed in water..go to google and key in heater for turtle tank...u should get an answer.

No. It's perfect for a 2.5 gallon tank. Only an air stone and the tubing will be in the water. The pump clips on the back of the tank but I just set it on top of my tank.

Yes, this pump would be an excellent choice for your turtle tank. You just squeeze the blue part a few times fast and the water will come then start coming out real quickly. Hope this helps!

I have not used this for water tanks,I don't see how it would crack your tank it would warm the water,not sure your turtle would like that. Read as much info they have it should tell you if you can't use it under a tank with water,I checked couldn't find anything on that.
