The thing is there is a egg in there as well, it is tanish yellow and soft! I could use any advice I can get so I can keep these guys alive till spring/ summer an i can release them back to the world! If that is a good idea i don't know either! Please help I am so new to this and I am doing it for them! I have a heart for animals and don't wish to kill these little guys! Please help!

I have a light on him and in his smaller tank her would get on his log and bask. We did away with his log and got him a turtle ramp. But, now he wont use his ramp. Should I move him back? Or will he use it eventually? I have a baby turtle and I just recently moved him to a bigger tank. I have a light on him and in his smaller tank her would get on his log and bask.

Painted turtles live for about maybe 20 years, it depends on how good of care you take of them though, and yes you do need a light for them because they like to bask in the light, sorta like sun tanning lmao. :) hope that helps a bit.

We found it when it was just a baby at my dads job in a trench it fell in to. If you know what you are doing they make wonderful pets but as they get older they do not being handled much.
