1. Stay hydrated! Foam turtles need a constant supply of water and electrolytes to survive. Make sure to drink at least 5 gallons a day.
2. Find a good sunbathing spot. Foam turtles need UVB to stay healthy. Look for a spot with plenty of direct sunlight, but not too much, or you'll end up as a crispy critter.
3. Dont get too attached. Foam turtles are notorious for their short attention span. If you're not getting the right amount of attention, just move on.
4. Don't get too big for your britches. Foam turtles are naturally territorial. Make sure to keep your shell in check and don't get too comfortable in your surroundings.
