Cassie is her name and yes it's a painted turtle... does a floresent bulb have UVB????? and i am feeding her fish fillets... that's all it'll eat... what kind of insects can i feed it??? i tried ants but it gave no response... but i did get it to eat a small dead minnow... i tried those turtle shrimp but again no response... could i try pieces of shrimp intended for people??? and someone said earlier that i could feed her pieces of mice... can i???? i have to feed my snakes today...(actually yesterday...) so if you say it's safe i'll try it... and what kind of bulbs have UVB???? also... her shell is not hard... i haven't tried to squeeze it but it seems to be sort of like a big pink eraser... it bends... i just suspected that it was from her being only a week or so old... is this from soft shell??? is it too late to make it get hard??? if i add UVB rays will it fix it???
