Do a search on this and other forums. It's likely that it's been asked and answered somewhere.

I feed mine cilantro once in a while. Someone else on here found out it has a decent nutrition content for turtles.


And on a small side note, it would be very helpful to not post in all caps unless it's something really urgent. It's hard to read and gives the tone of someone screaming online.

Basil, mint, and cilantro are fine. I've fed my RES all of these, but only had luck with them eating the cilantro. Not sure about rose petals or lemon grass. I don't think grass has much nutrition, so I wouldn't feed regular grass.
