Yeah, based on what i've seen on this forum most turtles take a while to get used to veggies. I have one turtle, Speedy, who will eat anything that I put in the tank so far. Various lettuces, pellets, jello shots, wood. The other, Shiloh, is much more, hmm, 'reserved' and I don't actually know if she eats veggies or not . . . . all we can do is try for them

Just leave the lettuce in there. He might go after it. I leave lettuce in my tank for days before it gets eaten.

It won't dirty the water or rot?

Well, eventually it will rot yes. Watch it, if it gets slimy or if it's been in there for a day or more I'd say take it out just to be safe. And then put in a new one.
