QUESTION: what do it eat

Answer
In the wild, it eats small bugs, fish, snails, invertebrates, worms, duckweed, water plants, etc.

In captivity, they make poor pets for people who are not really into turtles. For example, it costs about $150-200 to set up a good turtle habitat by the time you get the big tank, filter, etc. You have to keep the water clean and warm, etc.
