Not much of a turtle person so any new knowledge you can share would be greatly appreciated.
All of those turtles either died or were let go. Without UVB or heat and just the bowl/lagoon, they would not grow and either their eyes would swell shut over time or/and they would get shell rot+ a lot of other problems and die. Lets just say I went through a very horrible time with one when I was around 12
