I'm not sure on his exact length I would say he is close to 10-12 inches long I'm terrible at estimating length. I do know however that at the beginning of summer he was like a pound and a half in weight.

There is nothing like wrong with my turtle I just wondered if there was anything else I could be giving him.

I also want to say I am aware they eat fish in the wild etc, but where I am at we have no bait shops that sell fish as bait within a reasonable distance. All I have is a petco and a petsmart and the petco's feeder fish always always always have Ick. I also remember reading somewhere that feeder fish that are captive raised aren't that healthy for turtles, so I guess I just got a little paranoid about them.

I will start giving him some veggies and I have mazuri croc chow that I use for my caiman and gator so maybe I'll give him some of that as well.

Also you mentioned catfish pellets where would you find these?
