He also isn't basking properly , he is rarely ever on his floating dock and if he is it is no longer than a few minutes , he is about 2-3 inches he is 6 months old. I got him august 1st , but he was 4 months when I got him from this lady who raises turtles . When I got him I knew nothing about res turtles. She said he didn't need a filter or water heater and so has pets Mart and this other local pet shop called daryls pet shop . He is living in a 20 gallon tank he has the heat lamp on from the time I wake up in the morning til the time I go to sleep .

What's the water temperature? What have you been trying to feed him? Has there been any recent changes? If you can, bump the water temp to around 80-82F.
