Hi all
I'm new to the forum also new to turtles, we have re-homed a three year old turtle from a friend of my wife's as her daughter whose turt it was is going to college
We think its a he but were told he was female Murt or Mertyl depending on gender is about six inches, he was kept in a 3' x 1' tank with about 4 1/2" of water, with a hai yang florescent light as his only lighting and the basking area a 4" tall artifical rock
We have bought him a zoo med doc which he is a bit heavy for as he sinks into the water a bit, also got him a heat lamp which he loves finally, were increasing the water depth slowly as we filled it a bit to much when we got him two weeks ago and he freaked out,
Any suggestions would be appreciated im sure i will have a ton of questions
Cheers Steve
