Agamemnon ate 10 minnows today. She's 2.5". Should I wait to feed her for a few days?

10 minnows! In the future, don't give her that many! I would give her at least a day off of feeding. You are lucky she hasn't thrown up yet ...

I used to buy minnows at BigAls. It's cheaper when you buy 10 (14 cents each if you buy 10 or more and 39 cents if you buy less than 10). So I used to get 10, and my turtles would finish most of them in one meal. Afterward, I found that Petsmart also sells minnows. They are 17 cents each no matter how many you get. From then on, I always to go petsmart and buy 5 minnows.

Well at my favorite store they're only 10 cents period. So latley they've had really small babies so I got in the habit of getting 10. But this time they weren't so small.

Maybe Belize Sliders have faster Metabolism.
