RED EARED SLIDER HELP!!!=/?

Google "Red Eared Slider Care Sheets" there are many good ones online. Never use distilled water for turtles or frogs. It will deplete them of salts. It's important to get plenty of calcium and vitamin d if there is no uvb. PNWTurtleworks.com sells an excellent food for growing turtles that might not be getting enough UVB. Total turtle. They need a dry baskin with a temp of 88 to 92 degrees. The water can be room temp indoors. They should have filter to keep it clean. You can make one (google it) for the cost of the pump. You can build a basking dock free with red bricks (no concrete). You can get hardware cloth and a clamp light at home depot pretty cheap. Always be careful with clamp lights. clamps often fail and fall off (burning the house down). We drill small holes around the edge of the hood and then wire it to the hardware cloth top. Good luck.
