Turtles need food, water, shelter, heat and proper lighting. You can take them out of the warmth for a while to play or something but for the most part they need to be in heat. To do this you should keep a special heat lamp made just for reptiles on top of it's cage.
Turtles need UVA and UVB light in order to properly digest their food and stay healthy.

∙ 12y agoDue to the fact they get big,many people keep them in totes.large wood chips, big food bowl,large water area.But for a healthier and happier living tortoise, a glass aquariam is required.Water should be limited because if they fall in the would drown because they very slow.
