Thank you so much!!! I didn't know that. Would you mind when I get home if I took a picture of my set up and let me know if I'm doing ok? lol A coworker had this poor guy for 12 years, never named him. And when her husband left, he left him behind, she didn't take care of him and left him in a pond insert, with no light, and a tiny piece of wood to float on
I offered to take him, I'm a big animal lover. So I've been reading and making sure I give him the best rest of his life. He is so fun. IDK if all turtles do this, but I think he knows I saved him by the way he looks and reacts to me when I come up to the tank. But like I said that could be all turtle and maybe because he's usually getting a toy or food, haha. I've had him for about 3 years now, I had no idea how attached I'd become to Herbert. Anywho, that's our little story.
Again thank you so much for any information or help. It means a lot to both of us
