Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Sorry to dominate the Spotted and Wood forum, but nothing much is being said, so...

So, I posted Jan. 25 that I didn't think my spotted was growing and asked what to do about it. (I received great answers and am now feeding a couple more things, so he/she appreciates that.) WELL, I didn't think to check my own data when I bought him/her. The conclusion: My spotted has grown 3/4 of an inch in a little over a year. He/she was 1 1/2 inches when I bought it Feb. 17, last year, and 2 1/4 inches today.

I'm pretty happy with that.

Bought them at Wal-Mart. Are they ok for turtles?

they should be fine,as long as they are'nt dyed green,as some of them are.if they are not,all you really have to do is help the spottie out by pinching them into smaller pieces,for easier snacking.if i'm not mistaken,you have a smaller size spotted,right?1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces should be fine.feed 3 or 4 times a week or so.honestly,mine like the red wrigglers better.hope this helps!

Thanks. Yeah, I still cut all its worms up. It takes too long for them to choke them down otherwise.
