Hi. My turtle scraped the area under its mouth. I've already taken it to two veterinarians, and we've tried various medications and even laser therapy, but I haven't seen much improvement. I've also been keeping it out of the water for long periods as part of the treatment. This happened almost two months ago. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Found this snapper on a trail today. When looking at this picture I noticed this thing that looks like it’s connecting the shell and foot together. But it might also just be a leaf or something that I picked up with it. Any clue as to what this is?

Found him (assuming its a him) not moving in the middle of street. I nudged him gently with my foot and he moved a little bit, but didn't actually crawl away.

I moved him off the road and left him the grass, covered lightly with leaves. I also noticed his eye were closed. See images.

If he's still there when I go for my next walk can I/should I take him back with me and try to help him or just leave him?

Saw this guy in a dirty 25 gallon tank posted on marketplace for free.

Lady said she had him for seven years and just couldn't afford to replace the filter that went out. Said "he just needs a pump, I'll give you everything else you need for him"

I was given a 75 gallon tank, a stand, a bag of 'pond food', and a turtle.

Told me I could get him a platform to be out of the water if I wanted but he doesn't have to have one😤

She said he's a common map turtle and she didnt know mich else about him.

If anyone has any guidance or info on this little guy, please pass it on. We have acquired a temporary 40 gallon tank, UVA & UVB lights, thermometer, canister filter for 97 gal, a tiered basking platform filter for 60 gal, and a turtle deck platform.

Hello, my family was gifted this turtle, and I plan on getting all the equipment and space he or she needs. However, I'm having trouble figuring out what species this one is. The shell is about 6" long Can anyone advise?

I changed his water right after he was done. He made it all dirty in there XD. After I clean his cage I plan on giving him some fun stuff to do. I will put some rocks in there, give him some stuff to do with it being dangerous for the lil guy, i might use a different water thing if anyone thinks it isnt good enough for him (Hes an eastern box turtle) He is also very well humidified, this pic was taken before i gave him more humidification. I take him on a short walk outside so he can get his vitamin d, and of course i am very careful with him. He seems to be pretty happy and he was running around the water and sitting up loud and proud on his decorations. I managed to feed him a worm which i cut up into small pieces for him and made sure he was at least 80 degrees in there for him to digest. I cant get him lamps for reasons I've stated in my other post. So far though, this little turtle is doing pretty good and im planning soon (because my mom allows it) to put his cage in the sun all day safely so he can get his proper uv without a lamp. I just have to clean his tank first because its FINALLY a nice enough day to do so! I hope hes happy. Gonna get his cage a bit bigger real soon! and once I get a job i'm definitely buying him all the turtle stuff he needs. (lamps, bulbs, even more fun things, better bedding, etc) and since im old enough i'll be able to do that soon. For now, he doesnt seem to be showing signs of anything bad. Whenever it gets a bit too wet in there i change the stuff in there because i dont want mold or fungus to happen. I really hope he grows up to be a big, strong turtle. Trying everything i can for the lil turt. So far, its been going pretty good with all the warmth just having to come from something other than a lamp, and i have multiple ways now of doing that, and hes been eating and Everything is good currently. Thats the turtle update :)

Romaine lettuce is his favorite 😊🐢🌱
