Question

They ages vary from 3-4 months old.Adopted from near by lakes.I feed them grasshoppers ,hatchling pellets and dried baby shrimp.(also diffrent fish foods) Are they to small to tell the s*x?and how old must they be to lay eggs? Can they be layed in pea gravel or do i need to mix some sand in with it.they feed twice a day.the older one (not blind) is growing alot faster and is a pig, it has a straight tail.(it has been climbing on top the others the last couple days and following them)The other two curve slightl.they have all they need for lighting.heating,and water filter.

Answer 1

It will be a few years before you can s*x your turtle and before you have to worry about eggs. The exact age depends on the species you have and it's more a matter of size than age.

I'd suggest a box of potting soil in preference to sand or gravel.
