Wow, you guys should of let me in on turtles care expense. I dropped 150 dollars on a heater, a lid and three light bulbs. The water is now 78oF and the basking area is 96oF and as of last night they started eating again.

I hit several pet stores and looked at their turtle set ups. I need to change some things up.

Snapper will be set free in spring and the painted will stay as long as I can keep them healthy.

Thx for your help everyone.
