Question
Hi,
Do you recommend a heater for my new yellow bellied slider turtle?  I have him in a ten gallon aquarium half filled with water with a filter and a light that doesn't provide heat.
Thanks!
Jen

Answer
Hi Jen
This is totally out of my area of reptile keeping but I did a search and came up with this care sheet
I think that it will point you in the right direction

Good Luck with your turtle
