fuggnificent Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 bought this $18 piece of wood for him the first day but he wouldnt get out his water and sit on it so i take it back to walmart and go to a petstore and they have turtle docks so i get that for $15 and i set it up in his tank but he still doesnt get out of his water. hes suppose to swim and then bask. so after research and someone on here saying he needs uv light, i research uv lights. i was gonna buy one online but he needed one ASAP. hoping the poor little guy was ok i had to wait until payday..so i go to a different pet store and they have the lights in the turtle section. 20 fucking bucks for ONE light...but i get it.. dont want poor little guy to die. and then i get a $7 lamp to put the light in.. one of those stretchy neck ones that bend all over... got all this yesterday....got home and put the light on him..but he STILL wouldnt bask. and my mom complained about him needing a light. but the directions say he only needs it for 8 hours..so im like, cool.. ill turn the light on when im at work and then turn it off when i get back home. i get home today and his light is off. i figure my mom turned it off at 630 when she went to church with my daughter so i turn it back on and do stuff... i come back and hes BASKING like a champion! just loves his little light!! so hes doing good.. eating lots of shrimp and turtle food. pics tomorrow.
