The fruit will be an once in a while treat, whenever strawberries are in season :) Sadly I won't be able to find aquatic plants here in my country, so I'll have to stick to the lettuce and the trawberrie leaves for now... About the lamp, I decided I'll place the fixture on top as it's the only...

I'll try to find some aquatic plants :) I bought one from IKEA once but they ate it up :p For some reason I've always wanted to give them strawberries, I guess I'll try feeding them some along with their leaves!

Yes you are right, the lighting is very important, thus I did my research and the best long tube I found is this one... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=400421729722 It has three options for the watts, I was thinking of getting the 35w as the lamp is going to be at least...

Alright thanks again! I'll look it up and see what I can find. Hopefully I'll find that long tube you've mentioned.

I'll head to my local pet shop and look for vitamin D pellets today, their food is about to run out anyway :p Thanks! Oh, can you suggest any fruits or vegetables that water turtles can eat? I already know that lettuce is healthy...

Thank you :)) I know that it should be facing directly down at the basking spot but the reason i have the lamp that way is cause the "ceiling" on top of the tank is kind of low. From where I have the lamp right now to the basking spot it's 30cm. If i put it directly on top of it, it's less than...

Yes i have both a heater and a warm basking dock. Now about the lamp i use, it's an Osram Consentra and i don't really know if it provides uvb or uva... But, every weekend i get my turtles out in the sun as it is very sunny and warm where i live. Here's a picture of their tank:

Hey everyone, So I've just noticed that one of my two turtles got some black holes on its shell and I was wondering if this is normal or is it shell rot? Ever since I got him, he had some white spots on his shell like his shell was shedding. I was worried but he is very healthy and happy. I had...

Yea you are right :D Thanks!

I really hope my turtle gets better soon! :) Another thing i wanted to ask is if the water in the bowl I put them in to feed them needs to be warm as well? Because I use water from the sink and it's abit cold.

Thank you! :D I already bought one, it's actually the 50W Aquael

Thanks :) I really hope that it's just as you said! Should I keep offering the same food to the turtle or should I get him something different?

Hey and thanks, as I said before the water temp is 27C and I do feed them separately. It will be a little hard finding worms :/ Will any type of worm do? Here's a pictureof the tank and the turtle. Squirt, the non-eating turtle, is the one hiding behind that plant :) :

Hey everyone, One of my two turtles hasn't been eating at all lately. It's actually been 5 days or more since she/he last ate. My other turtle eats normally, and that's what confuses me even more. I feed them separately, out of their tank, in a bowl, as I don't want them to get stressed in their...

Oh alright, thanks and sorry if I'm bothering >.<
