Weeell they are a really aquatic type of ss of turtle. I keep mine in a 2/3rd aquatic and 1/3rd land type caging. I use the basic mulch for their land area as well. They love to burrow under the stuff and that's about the only time that they actually come out of the water. they spend most of their time in the water though. As for feeding.. they will eat just about all from what I see. I feed mine goldfish [ but have seen recently that this could not be a good thing for chelonians. Still checking into that even.] They also eat vegetation and the turtle pellets np usually. As for temps on their water.. I keep em at room temp and use a filter/pump to help keep their water clean as well. Give them the UYB lighting in their caging also. AND also I give em a heat bulb in case they want to get under it and warm up even, other than ambient temps.
Hmmm.. What else ya need to know ?
OH and they are definately one to possibly be harboring the salmonela bacteria as well. aquatics ya know. MAKE SURE THAT HANDS ARE WASHED ALL THE TIME WHEN DEALING WITH THESE GUYS!!
Hope that helps ya some....
