    Bump on neck

    Kept it covered with the Vaseline, kept an eye on it, nothing! Slightly disappointed :/ was hoping that was it. Now back to square one. Guess it's time to call the vet first thing in the morning. Tabby

    Bump on neck

    I checked out the other thread. Seen mentioned there the Vaseline may take 24hr. So maybe ill try that route again and give more time to see if anything pops out. If still nothing ill try the other suggestion. Thanks so much!! Tabby [hr] Ill take another first thing tomorrow. Tabby

    Bump on neck

    I actually did that last night and saw nothing. This bump is hard though. Which I would guess a botfly to be a bit squishy like an abscess. Tabby

    Bump on neck

    No offense taken at all. She seemed lethargic when I first saw her, she was with a brother who was moving about as she sat there with her eyes closed. The breeder told me to use hay as substrate, which i found to be wrong before getting supplies, so yes, i fully agree that she may not have been...

    Bump on neck

    Ok, just got this baby female sulcata a few days ago. I noticed a small white "bump" on her neck instantly and breeder told me it was a calcium deposit.

    New, with lots of questions :)

    Here's the clearest pic I have gotten so far. But in it you can slightly see the white bump I mentioned. Thanks for the info!! I was going to get my daughter some aquatic turtles but fell in love with this little girl instantly. I think once I have learned all I need to know about her then her...

    New, with lots of questions :)

    First, let me apologize in advance for all the questions. I didn't get much info out of the breeder and google comes up with a lot of different information. I've had my baby sulcata for just a few days, not sure exact age but she measures about 2-2 1/2 inches from front to back of shell. I...

    Hello all :)

    For starters, my name is Tabby and I live in the area of Cincinnati, Ohio. Just bought my first ever sulcata a few days ago for my daughters birthday. Though, I know I'll be doing most the work while trying to teach her pet responsibility. The only other pet I currently have is a dog, Lucy...
