I am a new yellow belly slider owner. Petco gave me a surplus of bad information and I am wondering if any noticeable damage has happened to my turtle. I am also wondering about how old she is.
Thank you!!With optimum care and diet from now on, after she sheds her scutes a couple more times her shell will look perfect! Take a look at turtle care on austinsturtlepage.com
Thank you!! He was sunbathing a while when I took those pictures. Currently (at the suggestion of petco) he has a 20gallon tank. Next month he will get a 55. I use tap water and use water conditioner and sludge destroyerWTTC Chuga!
I like your little guy.....he's got good structure, no boring parasites, clear eyes, and nasal passage from what we can see.....he's just been screwed out of a healthy diet and you will fix that!
I assume you dried him out only for photo's?
What kind of a home do you have for him? Are you using tap or salt-conditioned well water?
