I know some people do feed superworms to their turtles, I never have. Aren't they really big? How many do you give him at a feeding? The point is that a diet of only worms doesn't provide much variety. He should be eating other foods as well (and I'm not talking about just the pellets, which should be only a part of the diet).

i got a question about tanks. my fiance and i just bought a 55 gallon tank and i was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me how high will the running the filter all day and night make the electric bill?
I have my turtles in their new setup for two weeks now. I have only seen them bask maybe once or twice, not that they don't when I am not here. I made the new basking area out of a closet organizer shelf that hangs from the sides with some tiles. They have the zoomed dock to climb on to it. It heats to 90-93 and water is 75. Is it okay to take them out and make them bask in a box or something?
They're probably just shy about basking in front of you. If you force them to bask you run the risk of baking your turtles. As long as you're sure that they can get up there easily and the temps are ok they should bask as they see fit.
