Hi All,

Just got this hatchling yesterday, 99% sure it’s a Diamondback Terrapin. The guy at the vet knew a lot about caring for Turtles, but didn’t seem to know many specifics on Terapins. I have a 20 gallon set up with a water heater arriving today, filter, and landing area for him to chill with basking and other light. Any advice or tips?? Seeing a lot of mixed results online about the basking light, water quality, and feeding. Could use a pretty full breakdown if anyone is able.
