I've read OddBall's stickey. :) The only thing i really did'nt take from it? Was is UV a must when keeping these turtles? I've herd yes and no? I'm not running one now. But i can grab one today if needed. The one i have has pretty bad shell curl. From the owner previous to myself. I want to see this dude 100% healthy. :D I have his diet pretty good fruit's Alage waffer's ect..

If it need's UV? Is it filter UV or overhead light's? :confused: thanks guy's
 
I have never used UV on my FRT but I do bask her in the sun for a few hours once in awhile. I just put her in a tub with water in the yard on a sunny day when I am working on the lawn...

Ok cool, What are you feeding? If you don't mind my asking? thanks
 
We've had an FRT in the shop for almost 5 years with nothing but an AC110 on a 90 gallon tank and he's fine...

Feed it water hyacinth, vallisneria, hikari massivore pellets (very very sparingly), and a lot of different vegetation. He really likes coconuts :)

Thanks's for the help. I've never herd of the Hyacinth and Vallisneria? I'll do some looking for these item's aswell. :D
 
with my FRT, I do have a UV running as well as taking her out on sunny days to get some natural light as well. I feed him currently a diet of Kale and sinking algae wafers. I'm going to introduce some fruits soon as well.

Papaya, mango,elodea, turnip greens, water cress, water letuce, mustard greens, etc. The uv is a reptile uv lamp, not uv filter
