Hello, Happy New Year!
I haven't had a computer for 2 weeks!!!
I saw this on Craigs list, has anyone heard of turtles hurting each other like this? I thought it looked more like a dog got to her.But hey this place has way more experience.
Not sure what kind he is, anyone of you can tell?
Just nosey. Hope you can get to it.

RE: Curious

It's a large female Red eared slider and it's possible another turtle did that to the leg. The shell though looks like she was dropped or a dog bit her, another turtle wouldn't have caused that kind of shell damage. It could be that she climbed out of the tank and fell on the floor after being bitten and harrased by the other turtle.

In the bottom right picture, I see what looks like a wound from a canine tooth.
