Hell Everyone,

I have a few NAWTs that hatched in 2010. Some are eating like pigs and growing like weeds. A few are not eating very much and are no longer gainng weight. They are kept on a peat sand mix with a large water bowl. The ambient temp is 70 F and they are provided with a UV basking lamp that gives them a hot spot of about 95 at one end. The substrate is deep enough for them to burrow into and the cooler end is kept moist.

They are fed Reptomin, freeze dried shrimp, chopped night crawlers and home made turtle jello. The picky ones have recently turned their noses from all of these.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Brian
