  • Can you answer questions about my box turtle?

    I saved this box turtle from someone who could not properly care for her. I don't know what kind she is.

    http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l285/esybkoven81...

    I keep her in a 55 gal tank. 1 ft sq of water w/ filter 4 in. deep w/ aquatic plants. 3 1 1/2 ft of reptile grass and the rest reptile bark for burrowing. She has a basking light, UV light and shade area.

    She always has small feeder fish to eat, I give gut stuffed crickets bi-monthly.

    Everyother day she get a variety of fruits/vegs. I rotate and mix:

    Leafy greens

    Green peppers

    Carrots

    Tomato

    Peas

    Melon

    Apple

    Orange

    Banana

    blueberry

    stawberry

    She likes fruit/veggie organic babyfood and I give her a wet processed box turtle food. Everyonce in a while a weight maintenance soaked dog food.

    Anything is better than her previously living in a 10 gal tank with dirt and a dog bowl for water with only iceberg lettuce and carrots.

    But I want to know how I am doing?
