Tom my string of turtles has been really shrinking and losing his color lately does anyone have any ideas on how to help him. Am I overwatering or not giving him enough sun. He lives under a sunlamp.

    Not too experienced with the turtles but looks similar to mine lol you can download a light meter app to see if you have enough light. Ideally is about 500 fc or 5300 lux. I currently have mine in a rehab prop box so adding a humidity dome or a cloche may help

    Is your light a plant light or a sun lamp? A sun lamp might be too hot or have the wrong light spectrum for your plant. You should fertilize string of turtles every two weeks during the growing season with a dilute liquid fertilizer to maintain color. You should also prune it regularly to keep it from getting stragly. Turtles are toxic to pets so if you have any keep that in mind.
