A little semiaquatic Indian Indian and Bangladesh both have natural populations of tent turtles. They get their name from their tent-like shells, which are frequently dark brown in color. Indian Tent turtles also have pink bands running over their shells and scarlet specks below their eyes. Due to the fact that they resemble Red Eared Sliders when they are young, it is also marketed as Singapore Turtle or American Turtle. I was unable to snap images of it because it was my first turtle and I had little knowledge of them at the time.
Care as a Pet
Housing & Temperature
The basic enclosure for any turtle species consists of a tank with water in it, a basking platform, a basking light, a strong filtration system, and a thermostat to maintain a constant water temperature of 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. I personally don’t prefer substrate because it gets clogged up with uneaten food and poop, though. If you have a pond, make sure the turtle cannot climb it and that it is adequately covered to keep predators like kites, cats, and dogs out.
Feed
It consumes everything because it is omnivorous. I fed it a variety of things, including ghost shrimp, crickets, earthworms, mosquito larvae, snails, feeder fish, aquatic insects, aquatic plants, spinach, carrot, and radish leaves, among others.
