I have just been told that what we thought was something else is a 3 toed box turtle. We have had this turtle for a year and he has been in a 20 gallon tank with 7 inches of filtered water layered in rock with all dry docking areas. He swims lays on rocks but also stays underwater and then sticks head out. There is a water heater with water temperature at about 78-80 degrees. He has a heat lamp and UV lamp.
Now that we know he is a 3 toed box turtle I am seeing that he should not be in full water and should have substrate to burrow in.
Very confused on how to switch him over without shocking his whole routine AND unsure what to use exactly. Everyone seems to be using different things
