    I agreed with Elamena. Turtles don’t need beeding at all. Sooner or later, it just give dirty water and smelly. Just bare bottom of the tank is the best. No gravel please.

    Lights for basking area should be 12 inch away or depends on the wattage you used. The best is to get the temperature at 30 – 35 Celcius.

    would a litter box with fresh water, one third side of gravel high enogh for land, and a basking light with a dish of turtle food be good? I thought of that habitat yesterday and maybe it might work .
