QUOTE(yeohkc @ Jun 4 2012, 08:45 PM) thank you. btw can I know how you all feed your turtles? coz my pellets makes the water really dirty.. haha any alternative? You can feed them in the separate container, so your pellets will not contaminate the main tank.

If for visual just normal lighting from aquarium or lighting store will be good enough !! If for well-being add - a heat lamp for heating up for ease of digestion ( easily replaced with heater for aquatic sp ) - a UVA/UVB type bulb or tube for producing vitamin D 3 for growth/hardening bone ( can also be replaced with powdered supplement ) Cheers

Poo eating is quite common especially with underfed or partly digested poo involved !! Yak but true Most reptilian hatchlings do that !! Cheers
