Okay I caught a turtle about the size of a small apple at this lake and I'm not sure wether it's a boy or girl. Could someone please tell me how I can figure out the turtle's sex. Also what species is my turtle? Only really distinctive thing I noticed about my turtle is that it has yellow stripes on it's head. I hope he doesn't die, I read it needs a place hide to help itself relieve stress. What can I use for that. The things I bought for it so far have been a 10 gallon tank and these dried shrimp things to feed it and these black little rock things to put on the bottem of the tank. I also put some rocks I thought it might wanna climb on to get out of the water. I wasn't sure if tap water would hurt it so I used water from the lake. It's really clear for lake water, but can I use tap? He doesn't seem to want to eat the shrimp I bought him have I done something wrong? Also he has this green plant looking stuff stuck to his back. How would I clean that off of him. Thx for all the help!
