Please explain your set-up..heating lighting, etc. Most of
the time the problem lies in the set-up.

Also, you are overfeeding him. I would switch to every
other day and find something other than mealworms for his
staple diet. I highly recommened the pelleted food such
as Reptomin floating sticks supplemented with a variety of
other stuff. I have had very good luck with this regiment.
My turtles are age 10,8, and 6.

Oh yeah, and I just got a new baby southern painted.
He is the size of a quarter...it's been a while since
I have had one this small
