> I found a little fella out in the back yard. I took him in and got him set up in an aquarium now. I got some turtle food for him and a filter a lite for the aquarium. He seems very astute. I never had a turtle before now. The fella eats out of my hands. The cat loves to watch him swim and perch on his deck.
What a lucky turtle! They are great pets! My little brother had two.. he had the tank set up so it was half water half land- they loved swimming and sunning- oh yeah, he had a little "heat" lamp he bought at a pet store for them on one side of the tank- something about having a warm zone and a cool zone. Not sure if that's necessary. He had to change the water and all that every week I think... I remember them loving melons and leafy veggies as snacks. They were so cool to watch.
