: Hi. Today my neighbor gave me her
: water turtle. Her children were more
: less abusing it. They were pouring
: maple syrup in the water, dropping
: toys inside the tank, hitting the
: outside of the tank, etc. So, I
: thought I'd take it when she
: offered. I was wondering if someone
: could help me identify it, and also
: tell me more on how to care for it.
: My turtle has yellow markings on its
: head. It's legs & shell have
: reddish orange markings. It has a
: reddish orange line going doen the
: middle of the shell. There is
: reddish orange on the back side of
: its shell also. (on it's stomach
: side) Could anyone identify it for
: me? The turtle is in a 20 gallon
: tank; but has only several inches of
: water in the tank. There is a big
: rock for the turtle to bask. The
: woman had been using a shop light to
: heat the water. The bulb is a 100
: watt. Is that too hot?? I was told
: to give the turtle the Repto. brand
: floating food sticks. What else
: should it be eating? Any help would
: be greatly appreciated!
