Ok so yesterday i went dirtbiking on some farmers track. we had to switch off every 15 mins. because there were two groups of people: the beginners and the experts. So during my time not riding i talked to this 12-year old who has has previously owned 2 cresties 2 leos and 1 BP. All of them died and were mean. i asked about his care for them to try to figure out why they were so mean and why they died. Here is why:
1. he kept them all in the 10 gals.
2. feed WC food: he caught voles mice and crickets for them in the wild and he only feed the baby BP once a month and the Cresties and Leos once a week. Cresties need repashy diet or fruits. Crickets should be a treat.
3. He heated the Bp at only 85 ( he only used a 50-watt night glo bulb) he didn’t heat his cresties at all and he didn’t have AC in the summer ( his family couldn’t afford it).
He used the same bulb from his dead BP for his Leos. Which the female most likely died due to the fact that they were raised together in the same 10 gal. and she probably got egg-bound.

Oh, and did i mention theyre all dead now so he decided to get two alligator snapping turtle babies and put them in the 10 gal. I asked him what he would do when they were huge, and he said that they grow slowly (not at all true) and he would be dead when they needed a new cage (not true either) And he cant release them because he lives in Wisconsin.
