Hey Zack,

Is that the little guy with only three leggs?

May want to get yourself some Turtle food that JurassiPets put out. I have used it before and the turtles went nuts for it.. Think it labled as aquatic Turtle food, but its fine as a staple food for painted as well.. Wow he is tiny..

Good luck with him..

Re:Here's Squirt

yeah steve i have the Reptomin floating food sticks, he loves them, i walk into the room and he flys up to the side of that tank and wants food, hes got a basking area with a uva/uvb light to harden his shell, and i dust his crickets before he eats them so his shell is nice and hard, oh yeah almost forgot, hes got all 4 legs, just his front left leg is a little small and only has three toes, but he uses it just fine. I dont really want to let him go because he knows that people mean food and i dont want him to fall into the wrong hands :-\

Re:Here's Squirt

im actually planning on keeping him forever, he doesnt really know outside, i found him in a muddy rain puddle, his shell was soft and he still had a little bit of yolk left on his underside, so humans are all that he knows, so i think im gonna keep him
