I don't know if I'm treating my turtle right because he is semi-violent.
Now I want to begin by stating that I do not have a turtle filter and was using a normal fish filter for a while until I realized I needed a turtle filter, we are currently working on getting my turtle one. Either way, we occasionally change his water. Also, we don't have a heating lamp, we have a normal lamp that produces a lot of heat, which is right over the tank.
Other than that I do not remember mistreating my turtle. According to what I read they try to bite your finger if they are mistreated, but I had never treated him badly. He would constantly look for my attention but then he tries to bite my finger for some reason. I treat him gently when I let him out of the tent, even though I do remember ripping his shedding scute out, but that was a LONG time ago, and I'm not exactly sure if that hurts or not.
I feed him reptomin but at one time I gave him meat. Ever since that he began to constantly look for my attention and try to bite my finger (which he was scared of at first) through the glass and eat food like a savage.
Can someone please tell what is happening with my turtle because this is really wierd. Is it the meat? Is it sickness? What could this be?
Does he want meat? Is he gluttonous and just wants a ton of food? Is he trying to get out? I don't know what is happening with my turtle please help!
