scabies,usually caused by unclean water,the treatment is cut the scabies with a knife sterilized with alcohol and clean the pus, then coated with iodine and kept the turtle dry.
If the time is right I suggest you try Chinese subspecies,it’s smaller,smarter ,with highly adaptableand more textured,it can hibernation so it has a longer life then viet and thai subspecies,this 2 pic are my turtle.
This is the most common turtle in China, we generally call it “Chinese soft shell”, generally we used for cooking, the price is 35-40 yuan a catty, equivalent to $5.50USD a catty,and no one will keep it as a pet.If you ask me how do I know that,I'd say im from China and I am Chinese.
maybe you are right,its said that this kind of turtle hide in daytime and came out at night,but there is no such kind of turtle that needs no sunlight at all.
they say Chinese big head do not need heating and lighting on the hell,
but yesterday and today I see my turtle stay on the tub under UVB for 1hrs
guess she's molting?
s going on?
