Hello, I recently adopted a South-East Asian Box Turtle (Cuora amboinensis) from my local Petco. The manager thought he looked unhealthy, so thought I might care for it better... actually he looks really good..just wont eat..



I need info on how to care for him better. I do have a boxturtle book, and it has 3 whole pages on them(wow)... BUT it has pic and latin name for my new guy... Which really helps.



What is a good setup? How big of a water area does he need? Is the lighting/heat about the same as the American Boxies?? and At any time, can this turtle ever be kept with my 3-toed boxies?? I have only ONE outdoor setup, and during summer would love to give my guys natural sunlight.(I live in tiny apartment, with tiny patio)



Right now, I have him in a 20g long tank, long water pan, and UVB bulb, and room temp. He has not eaten yet, But I think when I get him the proper setup that will change..



Any Advice would be very helpful...



Thanks in advance,

Harpy
