ID this turtle pls

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If the wood works for the turtle it is ideal (perfectly natural for them to haul out on wood).

What are you feeding it?
What lighting are you going to get?
i am feeding her baby cons and wardly reptile sticks and i plan on getting 2 regular flouresent bulbs and a uvb/uva bulb
 
Get a mercury vapor light. It is heat and UVB in one bulb (and does it better than the best separate lights).

Wardley is...Wardley. Get a better food. I would use Zoo Med, Nutrafin Max Turtle Gammarus pellets, and even high quality fish foods like New Life Spectrum (they are in the same ecosystem eating the same foods as fish).

I personally don't feed like food to anything. It is not as nutritionally complete, balanced, can introduce pathogens, and can increase aggression. This is an adult so I don't think there will be a major impact on aggression unless it has never been fed live before. Tank raised fish are a good option out of all the live foods though.

what is a good place to get a good quality turtle food wardley is the only thing my pet store carries :(
 
You can order zoo med food online, and petsmart carries it.

I feed my turtles a variety of different brands/foods. I feed them the tetra krill pellet treats, HBH turtle pellets, zoo med pellets, blackwater koi food for when they are shedding.. frozen krill, mussels, tilapia.. I also tried peas, and they love them.

I have DBTs- so the diet may be a bit different.
