Your turtle looks good, though maybe cut back on the pellets. What his setup like?

[jlmc255]

just a ten gallon tank for now. Heater keeping around 80 degrees. filter. thermometer. and zoo med turtle dock. and 5.0 uvb light. I'm just worried about not feeding enough or too little. what food is best and what not. thank you for your response

[steve]

How much are you feeding him now?

[jlmc255]

a few times a day. a few pellets at a time.

You need to be a bit more consistent but try not to overfeed. I like to suggest keepers get a new pill box and sort out some of the food ahead of time.
