if you do keep it which i highly advise against since there are two laws preventing keeping it as a pet (native species protection act and endangered animal protection act depending upon where you live) they do need requirements though if you do keep it. Ultraviolet light that mimicks the sun and around 70+degree heat. food usually includes insects such as crickets, mealworms, worms and roaches (some have been known to eat mice and fish but i wouldn't advise it), as well as kale and collards, carrots apples, grapes, even honeydew, cantalope and watermellon and they love banana's. It would also be wise to add calcium powder to some of the food and maybe some other ground up mineral and vitamin supplaments. Still if your lucky they can live to be 50 years old. also you can check it's sex unlike other turtles by checking the eyes and the plastron, Males have red/orange/yellow/light brown eyes and a concave underbelly females have dark brown eyes and a flat underbelly.
