LIGHTING: BABY WATER TURTLE
Baby aquatic turtles are among the most popular “herp” pets in the world. Listen and watch as Herpetologist Ron Dupont guides Host Bill Horneck, step-by step, in an easily understandable tutorial to caring for these small, shelled animals.

In this section about lighting and temperature, Ron tells us what kind of lighting to use for your turtle, including an in-depth explanation of ultra-violet (UV) light and why it is so important to your turtle. Since your reptile is cold-blooded, it needs your help to keep warm, even if it is in your home. Find out here how to do this.
