She's not sad. Reptiles refuse to eat when they are upset. As you can see, she is happy.
Buyt yeah, she needs a bigger home now she just outgrew this one. We're going to get her a bigger home probably this upcoming week or the in a couple of weeks. I have to do research on how to set it up.
She needs a water filter. A place to bask. A uvb lamp, and a water heater. Probably some fish to swim around in it for her snack. I think she's ready to hunt for fish now. -

Looks like you have too much food in the water. I think you only want to put an amount that they can eat within 5 minutes. Otherwise you unnecessarily dirty the tank.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why people seem bright, until you hear them. -

She usually eats all her food until I started giving her shrimp. Now she doesn't eat the pellets anymore. She prefers worms and shrimp now. She used to scarf down those pellets like it was gourmet food.

She's grown 10x her size in that container in 2 years. From a half dollar size to now.
She's by the light and she gets sun. Her shell isn't deformed or soft. Her shell is hard. She's getting to be heavy also. -

That turtle doesn’t deserve to be treated this way. You don’t properly feed it, you don’t have it in a proper enclosure, and you won’t give it a proper source of heat. And, not only that, you talking about releasing it back into the wild because you can’t take care of it anymore.
You’ve doomed this poor animal.

God, I'm agreeing with Rocket. That's a
WILD
turtle. She needs to let that poor turtle
back out
into the wild. That turtle can't even turn around in there, and all that junk/food floating around is polluting the water. If she truly "loved" that
WILD
turtle, she'd let it go back into the wild. Hell, Donna even said the turtle
hissed
at her!
Another case of animal abuse. Un-****in'-believable.

no. No no no no no. She stole it from the wild when it was a little baby. Now it’s domesticated. It’ll die if she released it.

Wait, what?! She poached it from the wild when it was a little baby? Was it young enough to still need its mother? She's sick. What kind of person pilfers an animal from the wild and takes it home and traps it in a plexiglass box into which it can barely fit and laughs about it, thinking it's cute? WTF? I really didn't know she stole the turtle and had it this long ago. I thought it was only a few days ago. The damage is done.
You're absolutely right. If she's boxed this poor thing up for years, it's ****ed. Way to go Donna. Way to go.

Yeah. Apparently her kids found it a few hundred feet from a river or creek or whatever and decided to take it home instead of moving it closer to the body of water. She let them keep it because she was worried it’d die without her taking care of it. Now, over a year later, she’s keeping it in some storage container with nothing but water and a small bit of dry land to perch itself on and zero heat for it to sun itself on. And now she’s talking about releasing it back into the wild because she doesn’t want to take care of such a big animal…
