Hey there.... new to the forum, and so thankful there is one.
So newbie in all sorts of the word... boyfriend has a yellow bellied slider (maybe bout a year old). He is kept in a 40 gallon tank (half filled with water) floating dock, basking lamp, heater, uvb lamp etc. Tank is kept clean at 80+ degrees.
He is in great spirits, very active, basking is good, ferocious eater.... which brings me to his shell. I think we got some pyramiding in a big way.
Too much protein not enough veggies.
In the past week I have started to take care of him myself because I want what's best for the turtle
Soooo I started to feed him butter lettuce, red lettuce, dandelion greens and some Zoo Med Aquatic (35% protein).
will the pyramiding stop? will it smooth out overtime? is there anything I can do to help this lil guy out? IS HE RUINED?
suggestions please
