Wild diamondbacks are the worse, other turtle usually will take to captive enviroments but wild diamondback dont at all. They usually never take to commercial turtle foods and often get skin and shell problems if not kept in brackish water like their used too.
Always get a captive bred dbt's and try for hatchlings, they can be housed in freshwater and love to eat the commercial turtle food. Adults are a little tricky. Some people say they are captive bred and they might not be. I know i have one wc for sure and another in question. The one that i know is wc will eat turtle pellets though haha, other wont.
