    Hello, This past weekend a very small DBT washed up on our Chesapeake Bay beach during a storm. We are going to raise it at home for eventual release back into the wild. Any advice would be great! We have him in a 20 G tank with a floating dock. We only have him under a fluorescent bulb. We have kids and I’m looking for a safe basking light, hopefully something built into a hood. Thanks, Rod Ehler

    Hi Rod, That’s great that you would care for the hatchling. I suggest you research some care sheets. My favorite site is http://www.diamondbackterrapin.com/index2.html. It is packed with information. Good tip, seperate feeding area. Rick Ehler Rod
