Keep the water crystal clear by using a filer. You'll need a filter, heater, 20 gallon tank or more, basking area, basking lamp, basking bulb, gravel, and rocks. I know it's a lot. The total would proobably come out to be 200 dollars. If it lives to its expected age (which is 40 years) you'll use up about 3,000 dollars in food and supplies. And that's if you're lucky!!!

∙ 12y agoWell one way is to make sure the water is not cold.If the water is cold the turtle will not eat.Also make sure you give it plenty of vegies and bugs or it will just want treats you gave it and get fat. Try adding some dandelion leaves with their food. Mine likes to use them to hide while it hunts for food.
