I just got a Chiapan Giant Musk Turtle a couple of weeks ago, he's a beauty. He's about 12-14 months old and is already 6-7 inch shell length, i'm just looking to get some input on how to treat this guy. So far he's living in 20 gal. long aquarium, has a heater set to 82 degrees, and a decent basking platform. I don't know if the platform is needed though because he never really gets on it, and as for a light I have a long tube light that emmits UVB/UVA lighting. Any suggestions, tips, anything I should really know about that I haven't talked about??
