Steve can offer other ways to tell too.
I found these pictures with heads in about same position. One the skin roll up against itself the other is bloated with fat. Their are different degrees of fat just a example picture used. Some are so obese they cant pull there heads all the way in. The rear legs would show that same bloated look if overfeeding. Wide growth margin’s between scutes is another way to see overfeeding.
Good well balanced , varied , and nutritious diets help’s with a habitat that’s large enough for swimming exercise. If only a small setup can offer obstacle’s for a turtle to climb on for exercise , they love that , great climbers ! Just make them escape proof. Must be creative in glass aquariums due to there small footprint , that’s why I use stock tank’s. Much wider , easier to offer turtle things. As you know turtles are very persistent . Make it a little hard for them. They will look and try until they win an obstacle , I can do it , I can do it !
