They grow fast! A 55 plus size tank. Walmart sells a 55 gallon tank with hood, light and decent filter for $153.00. You would need to buy some extra stuff, but that is a cheap tank set up with a good filter. You still need the rep light and large enough gravel they can’t swallow., and a dock…and fish and rep food.

I have used kiddy pools and plastic pond liners from most nurseries..

The bigger the environment the bigger the healthier the turtle.

Did you know that they need to bask under a reptile light UVA for 8 to 10 hrs a day for the vitamin D that they need to grow. So that means getting a turtle dock also.

Leave the heater on 75 to 78 degrees always.

Their water needs to be clean otherwise they get sick easily from dirty water cause they p**p allot.

You need a good filter system! Gravel larger than they can swallow.

You need to feed them feeder guppies, goldfish or minnows for protein and calcium daily drop 20 or so in the tanks and watch them disappear! This way when they swim for their dinner they get exercise also!

They need leafy greens( Romaine, Butter lettuce. Iceberg and cabbage are bad for them, any leafy greens will do) for vitamin A that they need at least 3 to 4 times a week.

You probably already know that they get sick easily, shell rot, respiratory sickness, lopsided swimming, coughing,blowing bubbles

Answer 4

If your RES is small, don't load him up on fruit just because he likes it. I'll bet you like candy but a steady diet of it wouldn't be good for you. Yeah, yeah, I know. You'd like to try. Small turtles need a high-protein diet. Try him on live earthworms, fishes (not goldfish), and soft-bodied insects. Strips of liver dusted in bone meal are good too.

Answer 5

worms, crickets, little piece of banana, lettuce

those are some of the foods my turtle eats

Answer 6

they can eat brine shrimps , apples , orange and almost all kinds of fruit and also they can eat veggies like lettuce...thats what most ppl told me to give them. Is good for them to eat treats once a while so they won't get bored of the same food.
