Good evening everyone!
I have a quick question. I've heard that saline baths are good for turtles shells, and I know that Diamondback Terrapins are found in brackish (slightly salty) water in the wild. I also think that RES's in the UK are referred to as red eared terrapins. (i read this somewhere so I might be wrong).
So my question, do you think it's safe/better to keep a RES in Brackish water? What are the pro's and con's of brackish water? Would there be any negative's for this?
I also read that RES are highly adaptive to their living environments and they DO have the ability to live in brackish water, as they are sometimes found in the wild in it.
If anyone has ANY information that would be great. I was just thinking about this and wondering if it would have any ill/positive effects on the health of my little guy. Thanks!!
