thanks ..i am going to try for better pics.. if it is painted turtle how and what do i feed..he is just so tiny for me to get a good pic ..he does have some painted stripes on each side of face.
its a painted no doubt, i got sunny at this size, bloodworms will work at this size just feed him all he can eat once or twice a day. you could also try reptomin baby, sunny could eat it at that size

very nice turtles you have.. i have my snapper in a similiar set up.. thank you for the list of foods.. for now would large bowl with place to bask in garden window be suitable.. he is so tiny i don't want him out of my sight..so painted need land and water... which do they prefer..i don't know anything about painted.. but they are beauties..
sunny is about a year old now and i still have him.
he is about 2.5" right now and i keep him in a ten (hes going in a 55 this summer)
sunny's diet is mainly reptomin, blood worms, and bits of tilapia and market shrimp (he loves this)
he does pretty well with most fish ( ive kept him with cons, fms, bass, and bluegill) he did once kill a sick baby sengal though.
they are great pets but sunny is unusually aggressive and high strung, i still love him though
there is a picture of his tank in my gallery
