Habitat - Indoor :: Air and ATBA

[joeybsmooth]

Maybe i am just over thinking or maybe under thinking things. But if you have a ATBA, does not cut off the air that your turtle gets.

what do you mean by cut off air your turtle gets?

Ya I'm completely lost on this one.


One guess is he might mean the area over the water might be like getting trapped under ice in a pond??? But then they could just swim over.

I think joeybsmooth are referring to lack of airflow in an ATBA. Unless it's completely enclosed and air tight I don't think there is much to worry about.

Unless the ATBA is partially under the water(completely sealing it off), I wouldn't worry.

If it is, you could just drill a few holes to let in air.

that could be it. most ATBAs dont actually sit right on the water. they all sit over it so they can still poke their head up to get air
