#2271770 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Turtle sitting! I don’t have any turtles, only lizards but I am turtle sitting. It is a Red eared slider turtle. The person I am turtle sitting for just sent me pellets to feed him but I gave him some red pepper. I am not 100% sure but I think the owner only feeds him turtle pellets. I am letting the turtle use one of my lizard’s UVB lights for now. What else should I feed him right now? How much? Thanks

#2271834 Lizard girl 4 View Profile	Message To: Chameleon_man   In reference to Message Id: 2271827  Turtle sitting! I was looking at care sheets and some said that you can feed them that. I don’t have any heat lights, but I will but a normal house light bulb on him. That is what I use for some of my lizards, it keeps the basking spot around 90. I gave him some crickets yesterday because care sheets said it is fine. We have carrots. I just want to give him some healthy stuff while I am watching him. I will not give him meat. Thanks for the quick answer!

#2271835 Chameleon_man View Profile	Message To: Lizard girl 4   In reference to Message Id: 2271834  Turtle sitting! no problem :-) sounds like your fine. I a normal light is getting 90 degree basking spot then it should be good, as long as he can get out of the water fine and al the way.
