I haven't bought the turtle yet, but am buying a map turtle hatchling.
I bought:
-40 gallon tank
-Marineland Bio-Wheel Penguin Aquarium Power Filter
-Eheim Jager 125w heater (i saw somewhere not to use glass, but it says shatterproof glass so is this okay?)
-Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle UVB & Heat Lighting Kit
-Zoo Med Turtle Dock
How deep should the water in the tank be for a hatchling?
Is there any specific substrate that is better than the other? Sand, rocks, etc.? and how many inches deep should substrate be?
What should the temperature of the water be versus the temperature of his basking spot?
Thanks!
