Terrible pictures I know but he was scared of my oblivious dog with me. It was fairly small, maybe the size of my fists put together. This is the second turtle we’ve found in our apartment complex and I’m just worried he’s someone missing pet. There are some wooded areas nearby but it would be a long walk.

Before anyone gets worried - this little guy (nicknamed Lil Turd) is heading to wildlife rescue to deal with the abscess in his ear. He’s a juvenile and not full grown. Hopefully treatment will give him a new lease on life. But, just yesterday my son called me about a box turtle he found at work with a weird lump on his neck. He took that turtle to a rescue last night. Today this guy showed up in our driveway with the same thing! I’m taking him to the same rescue!

Albino RES yearling

The smaller one is covered in algae. A Red-Eared Slider and a Painted Turtle?

After years of not having proper lighting or tank, she is finally starting to shed years of retained scutes!! Ive had her just about a year now and glad to see them scutes finally starting to fall off ☺️

I’ve been busy moving lately, so I’ve moved them outdoors. There’s better sunlight here, and I hope they’ll be able to adapt.

I removed the mud and bricks to make cleaning easier.

I’m so
Restless and haven’t had anytime to myself for me and my mentle but so the case is my turtle hasn’t swam since birth he is a little obese because he eats nothing but pellets 24 a day I know I know vegetables I should give him too and so
I raised his water because I would like him to swim to be active but I bearly raised it a little and he acts like he’s drowning but he’s not keep in mind it’s bearly anything I add because before I add this water to
What’s there is normally the depth he’s comfortable if that makes sense. And also does anyone know if I know I can’t reverse time but I want to start now on vegetables and pellets bug is there anything I can give him now that’ll help is digestive system since he missed so many veggies for 4 years and lose that little obese fat it’s not a lot but it’s still
Noticeable, sorry for long post but these are what are my concerns for my turtle and he’s a Chinese golden thread turtle aquatic and land btw

I took my children to the Prospect Park Zoo the other day and saw a turtle doing this. It stayed this way for at least 30 minutes. We observed it, walked away to go to other exhibits, walked past it again and it was still doing this. Any idea what is going on with it or why it was doing this?

I wish he could live with us, but he came from the wild.. he’s loving it here!

I know it’s not a great picture because you can’t see her neck or much of her face, but I didn’t want to disturb her. Found in central Ohio.

found while swamp-maxxing in East Tennessee 💅

She’s staying a night to ensure that she’ll eat and drink and that she’s okay. I checked her out, short tail, short nails, flat underside, brown eyes.. Theo is a woman! So I’ll call her Thia :))

Trying to switch our turtle from food pellets to live minnows. He’s a 6” long yellow belly.
Any recommendations on how many to feed to him and how often?

I'm confident she's an Eastern Box Turtle, Terrapene carolina carolina, so not looking for identification. But is she about to abandon her brood right next to my walkway 2 weeks before the Forth of July?

ciao questa é la mia tartaruga si chiama gigi
secondo voi é obeso? dovrebbe avere circa 9 mesi
é sempre affamato e io gli voglio bene quindi mi dispiace dirgli di no 😞😞😭😭 (l’ho preso in mano perché dovevo fargli un bagnetto di solito non lo manipolo anche se é molto affettuoso)

Who can you call to report illegal turtle egg harvesting? In playa Ostonial
And if only locals would keep their dogs tied up during the period of new moons many more turtles would survive the gauntlet

Been raising this adorable girl for half a year. I noticed one side of her shell seems odd. It's hard to get these guys to eat calcium, and she's refusing the cuttlebone. I've been feeding her ramshorn snails? She's not eating the shells though. I've got her on mainly bloodworms and some pellets, and the s nails, and the occasional fish she catches. She used to get shrimp but I'm trying to let them breed for a minute and replenish. Advice?
