problem with feeders from pet stores is that the breeders pump the tanks full of copper sulfate to control algae, and that could cause decreased immune systems in the turt. mine died from eating a guppy that had a parasite, i didnt catch it in time.



Make sure you get yourself a full spectrum bulb, 5.0% UVB bulb is needed for digestion. 3 is too small (the one you get at pet supermarket) and 7 can damage it. If you see a 5% iguana light, thats fine. No difference, just packaging.



Quick lesson on Sensormatic. Sensormatic is nothing but a magnetic field. It can demagnatize your credit card if you get close enough to the sensor as you're walking out of the door, but there is no radiation. That would never, ever be permissable to be placed in retail buildings. I think he just wanted to laugh as you were holding the fish over yourh ead as you walked out the door, lol.



And you need a basking area with a basking light not a UV light. As soon as you put that basking light up, then you will see the turt getting up on the rock almost immedately.
