So I got my son a tortoise turtle for his birthday last year and when I went to his house the turtle was not being taken care of so I packed the turtle up and brought it home but now the he is here I do not know the first thing about a turtle. I bought him a bigger habitat and sand, rocks, and some other stuff you add water too. I bought plant deco, ponds to swim in, logs to hide under, I made him a basking area a swimming area and a private room area yet he still seems unhappy, I found him stuck in between the stairs to get to the basking area of his penthouse. I don't know how long he was stuck like that. I don't know if I'm supposed to use the red heat lamp that keeps burning everything it is on, or the white lamp. Do they eat veggies or crickets or worms? Do I put him in water or not? Can he eat watermelon and peaches or not? Will he die if I turn off that hot *** light? Please someone help me!!!!!!!!
