Thank you so much for replying. I got the turtle when he was the size of a quarter- a quarter would literally cover him. He was so tiny! Now he is now about two inches in diameter. I have him in a 30 gallon tank with about 2.5 inches of water. I have filled one half with little pebbles and a big rock for basking. I have a heat lamp shining on the rock (I'm not sure of the wattage- The lamp itself has "150 watt max" written on it???? I don't know if that helps.) I really appreciate your help. I didn't know I was overfeeding him. I have tried giving him the reptomin floating food sticks, but he won't eat them. He'll just eat blood worms and meal worms. Am I spoiling him? Hope your little painted is doing well!!!
