For pellets, look at his head. Imagine how many pellets would fit into it (be conservative, don't think about a solid block of pellets), and give them that amount every other day. You can experiment a bit and give half that amount daily if you want to give him pellets every day. Don't forget other foods---veggies, worms, crickets, etc. Look at the feeding list for what's good to give.

It sounds so weird to me every time people say "I went to Petco and got a turtle" lol
In New Jersey Petco's or ANY petstores can't sell turtles but they do have everything you need for them.
As for the question, Marisa said it all.

Some people seem to think the neck is part of the head, which it isn't. Just the head...
