My friend is getting two map turtles on Tuesday. They're too young to tell gender so no idea how big they'll get.
He says the people gifting them to him "have everything they need," but we all know how wrong people can be!
Aside from the basic info I found here: http://www.theturtlesource.com/caresheet_map_turtle.asp is there anything specific you like to have in a map turtle tank? I'm thinking of the Powersun bulb since it has worked great for my tortoise. Is that OK to use for turtles?
Also, I find Russian torts don't eat pellets well. Is it the same with turtles? My friend is prepared to offer a varied diet, but I'm wondering if pellets for turtles do have some nutritional value.
