This question is for the likes of Ken or anyone else that have kept spotted turtles for a while. I have had mine for about a year (he's probably a year and a half old) and haven't noticed any real growth. I feed every other day - crickets, mealworms, snails, and the occasional Reptomin. Should I be feeding more often or something else, or should I just be pleased with his growth, or lack thereof?

He is a great turtle and completely healthy. I just want to make sure he stays such. Also, when should I look at providing him more land as opposed to water. I know that adult spotteds start hanging on land more as they get older...
