Just provide him with clean water and a basking site that
reaches 85-90 degrees. Use the reptomin as a staple and then
try lots of different things from greens to veggies to fruit.
The key is giving them many different types of foods. Make
sure you provide him with a UVB source. I really recommended
the Reptisun 5.0 for these guys.

These guys grow very rapidly with proper conditions and they
get big. This was one of my babies. She is 8 years old now
and weighs in at almost 3 lbs. She is 10-12" in shell length.

Congrats and enjoy
Linda
