Re: Map turtle help - info wanted please :)

I've not kept this species myself but the second shop has given you better infomation.

You will need a basking temperature of about 90F with the rest of the tank around 70F and UV for 12 hours
Water temperature sounds ok
Bloodworms are generally not good because they can have all sorts of parasites in them, you should be feeding crickets, mealworms, waxworms and dried food.
They are not really a handling pet, they will get stressed and can give a tasty bite.
