Posted by: erico at Mon Aug 22 12:17:27 2005 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by erico ] Chicken turtles are the "wanderers" of the Florida aquatic turtle fauna and show up on land more frequently than most. I have encountered several just as a tourist. Yes, they are more carnivorus than the sliders (but maps are very carnivorous - aqautic larvae and molluscs for the females). To introduce Reptomn, present it in shallow water so it is near the tutles filed of vision and, most importantly, pre-wet a few sticks to soften them before you put it in the tank. The texture of the first bite is critical to acceptance. Once it is regulatly accepted, you don't have to bother with pre-wetting it. | ||
