Could some one please tell me what kind of salt I should use for wild caught Diamondback Terrapin? Can I use rock salt that usually sold for making ice cream? Or can I use salt that says does noy supply iodide? Or is there any even better and cheap salt I can get from store? Thanks for any help!!

I use sea salt. You can buy large buckets of salt used for saltwater aquariums. This is probably the most natural way to go.
