    i would appriciate any recommendations on salinity of a ten gallon tank for a 2-3 inch northern diamondback. this turtle has been kept in fresh water so far, but i have reason to believe that adding even a small amount of salt is beneficial. opinions???

    If you want to add a half a cup of rock salt that would put you around .002 on a saline scale well under half of what I would put for my adults. If you want to go less that would be ok as well. But you really shouldn’t have to add salt to the water if the water is kept very clean and your terrapin basking like normal.
