New addition, Water turtle

[gino]

Hey all
I just thought ill share this little cutie with you, I got it a few days ago.
Im feeding it "Raffy" , it lives in a tank, with a rock in the middle(land LOL), water filter and a 25w basking light, plus a water heater at 25 degrees
I had it in the Caimans tank overnight but its so small i think the Caiman will try to chow it

Oh ya, before i forget, can someone please ID it for me so i can read up more and build it a even cooler enclosure than my Caiman(wich will be hard to beat for me LOL ) Im planning to get a few more to join it in its lonely life

Forgive me if I'm wrong but my guess would be a Marsh or Helmeted terrapin Pelomedusa subrufa,
That is a very cute animal but I think your caiman would make a nice snack out of this little guy! From what I've heard these guys are very illegal, may I ask where you got it?

[gino]

I bought it from a friend of a friend of a friend thats got quite a few quite cheap too
Thanx for the info Leos

[Leos r gr8]

If you don't mind me asking, how much? (Feel free to PM me instead)

Be warned, they get quite big! I don't know why I am telling this to the guy that owns a caiman!

[gino]

just read they get 12cm I dont mind a big one though Its eyes are the coolest green/blue colour ever

[gino]

Few more questions for someone that knows?
1)Is UVB a must?
2)Is it okay to just keep one or should i get a few more?
3) Thanx in advance

[-CAL-]

Dont they really stink when they get older?

They get a damn side bigger than 12 cm. Uv is required for them if they are to grow properly.

Dont just feed them pinks but give some insects and also snails and other items that have calcium in them.
