alanmin4304 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 What temperature is the water and what temperature is the basking area? How far is the uv light from the basking area and what are you using to heat the basking area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Not much goodness in bloodworms. Try Hot House frozen turtle food. And insects, fish, and more insects. Even mosquito larvae for a bit of variety and exercise. Will soon need to upgrade the tank too by the sounds of it. Need photos really. Hatchlings start out with orange bellies that fade away so maybe just noticing that? Some are blacker than others .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
