    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

soft tooth brush will do...

Just take your turtle to the sink and gently scrub with a soft toothbrush the algae that is accummulating. Even though you do daily water changes they are bound to get algae on their shells unless you scrub it off.

I will repeat though...since this is a baby turtle, gently scrub the algae off and then rinse them in fresh running water from the tap.

With my little ones I do this every week or so and there is no build up or any problems.
Good luck.
