i also feel the need to add that at the place she was held before, tehre was no access to land fr her and 2 other turtles, and she was in an aquarium with at least 30 fish.

Please swing by http://www.austinsturtlepage.
Use the 'World of Turtles' gallery to try to identify the turtle, the 'Care Sheets' for proper care help, the 'Articles' to learn about things like water quality, etc., and the 'Forums' to talk to other knowledgeable keepers for any other questions you may have.
Good luck!

Well I think that you should give it a little land in the water. I just got a cool tank with a light it's so preety with rainbow gravel and a flower and my frogs only live in water there babys. I thought I needed some land but than the flower was fine they love to play in the flower. Have fun with your turtle.

Your new pet needs a heat lamp, and something to get out of the water.
I used to own Red Earred Sliders, and I just had a branch coming out of the water, for then they could bask in the heat from the lamp. They spend most of their time in water, but they do need an escape from it.

Turtles need a small land area to relax and warm up on. You need a reptile heat light also. Turtles tend to eat shrimp which you can buy any pet store or Wal-Mart.
hope this helps.
