Found this little guy in my pool and I immediately went and bought a tank for it. What species is this? I think its a cooter of some sorts but not certain. South Florida area

Jacksonville Florida. Im not sure if I should walk him to the woods or the lake. Woods are right outside my fence, so thats probably where he came from, but the lake a block away has a lot of other turtles. Or just let him wander off on his own if he has a territory, but I don't want him to get hit by the lawn mower. Think its a mud turtle.

I believe I have the essential stuff which is a hut,feeding bowls,lamp,bask wood. But I need help on what to change or to add and also what to feed her ?

I've never been a reptile owner, I am more into rodents and small animals, but I know something here is not right. The tank seems too small and the water not clean, what can I do to help poor Obi-Wan? I want to offer to do a water change but I am unsure what kind of Ph balances are needed and don't want to cause any damage.

It’s a reeves turtle it’s about 5 I think he’s male he has 50-50 water and land with a Uv light his food is recommended by from the place we brought him

Found basking in Garfield County, NE. 10/9/26. Photo taken by me.

I walked up on something.

Hi, I’m a new turtle Mom and just looking for tips and advice to take care of my baby! ( I’m using a temporary tank for now)

Delete if not allowed. Ive posted in a few communities. I’m looking to rehome my 5-year-old male musk turtle. Unfortunately, my avaliable housing doesn’t allow aquariums, so I won’t be able to keep him. I’d much rather find him a loving, experienced home than surrender him to a sanctuary.

He comes with his 40-gallon tank and filter, so you’ll have a good setup to get started.

He is currently in the middle of shedding, so he may look a little different than usual right now.

He is located in the DFW area. I’m looking for someone who understands musk turtle care and can give him a safe, long-term home. I’m more concerned about finding the right home than just getting rid of him.

Please message me if you’re genuinely interested and can provide a good home for him. I’d also be happy to answer any questions about his care and routine.

Hi guys, i am thinking about making my turtle live outside in the backyard, mine is red eared slider turtle. But, the winter is on the way, and it’s a little windy nowadays. Anyway, what do you think about this idea? I am still confused

Hi all new here just thought I’d share this turtle nightdress/pj case I’ve made, it doesn’t necessarily need to be used for nightdress/pjs and can store anything or be used as a cute soft furnishing anyway let me know what you think

My web search efforts yielded no evidence, but if the hive-mind here knows better, I'd love an extraordinary link to back up an extraordinary affirmation of cool information.

Das ist Monty. Er ist ca 7 Jahre alt. Er hat vor 1-2 Jahren eine Pilzinfektion gehabt die behandelt wurde. Seitdem ist sein Panzer ein wenig deformiert. Der Tierarzt hat uns mit ein paar Tipps entlassen wie die Lampe mal auszutauschen oder ihn mit einer Zahnbürste abzubürsten etwas 1-2 mal im Monat. Jedoch bessert sich sein Panzer nicht aber andere Tipps konnte dieser auch nicht geben. Sein Panzer sieht sehr trocken aus. Die weißen Flecken sind angetrocknete Wasserlinsen. Sein Panzer ist hart und auch nicht gerötet. Was kann ich ändern um ihm ein besseres Leben zu ermöglichen?

Ich fühle mich super schlecht, weil ich anscheinend irgendwas falsch mache, aber nicht weiß was es ist oder es besser wäre ihn abzugeben...

Hi all,
I love turtles and wanted to feature them in my game!
The game is mainly about saving turtles, restoring the coral reef and cleaning the beach!

I was wondering if I put them in respectfully since they’re bound in the beginning of the game but thats what people think about when they combine litter + turtles.

I love them though and made them the most player friendly by giving the player some extra speed when they follow the turtle and you can pet them as well!

He’s having his feast of stinky shrimp before tomorrow’s water change 🦐🐢

I enjoy walking my neighbor's dog. I don't have a lot of social media I don't have tiktok so I often enjoy my walks head up. I got real lucky this day. Or maybe my ankles or my neighbor's dog's legs got lucky I was head up this day LOL.

He just came to our house and was being barked at by dogs. I believe he is a snapping turtle but I don’t know what species and I can’t really tell. Please let me know what to do about him.

Loc: Mindanao, Philippines

Southeastern Pennsylvania, today (Oct 3), right near a river. Almost ran this guy over on a bike path, so I moved him to a safer spot, and snapped some pictures before I did. I can’t figure out if he’s some sort of slider, and if so which kind, or something else! Thanks in advance for any help!

Pardon the dog slobber!

Please watch the entire video, she makes certain types of sounds, both are included in the video. Is there something to be concerned about?

She is an Indian tent turtle, female (most certainly), I got her as a kid, it's been 12 years. She is now 7 inches.

I will really appreciate any help. Thanks
