I rescue and rehabilitate turtles that are hot on the road! One of our life long turtles (She had so much damage she won't be able to be released) seems sick. She always has all her legs out and doesn't move much this past week. Today her eyes seemed swollen and her skin seems papery. She also...

I rescued my turtle and he only had one eye. He is a three toed. I've had him for many years. Lately his eye will close then reopen several minutes later. A lot of liquid comes out of it. Also this morning some creamy white stuff came out of his mouth. Very little but it scared me. I've been...

Hello y'all! I rescue turtles that have been hit by cars. One of my turtles, One Eye (he lost his eye when I saved him) has been having his good eye swell up. He turns whitish and is shut. It opens during warm water soaks. I live in Louisiana and he is outside turtle. I soak their area in...

What is this?

Found this girl in my pool. She was huge. I live in Louisiana. She was bigger than my foot and i wear a size 11. She did not have red ears.

Found this guy in my pool! Looks at his interesting shell!

I found a baby three toed in my turtle pen. He has six vertebrate scutes instead if five! How weird?

Yesterday little Beast ate a few crawfish and two fish. He had been basking all day. Someone is stuffed.

I have been battling staph for seven years. I finally went to Tulane (hospital that saved my dads life). My checkup came back that it is now out of my body for the first time in seven years. Not only that but in one year my immune system will be healed. So now my only illness is Von Willebrans...

Is Beast growing right? What are those lines?

I have read countless forums about how to get it up. I cannot. Please give me some new ideas.

I have five baby three toed box turtles. What should the basking temp be? The cool side? The humidity? Just making sure I am close.

My father and I were thinking about getting a more "exotic" tortoise. We have a giant outdoor area for our rescue box turtles (three toes). We we thinking about getting something else since our rescues work so well. We live in Louisiana. It's gets around 30 degrees for a week in the winter. And...

I recently was given this RES that a neighbor's grandson could no longer care for. He was feed a great diet and had plenty of access to the outdoors. But he did not have a basking platform. So basically he was in the water 100% of the time. He seems to have some pyramiding. Why so? Because of no...

Found this guy in my pond. He smells horrid and has a fat tail. Really long claws. I have never seen this turtle before. Any idea what it is? I live in Louisiana but I do not believe I have seen one of these here before.

My baby RES basks and stick out one of his back legs. I've seen turtles do this before? Why? It's so silly looking.

I rescued a little red eared from my pond. Maybe a week old. His name is Beast. I have him in a nice little tank. Any ideas to help him stay comfortable in the tank?

I would like to thank all of y'all who helped me give my special needs baby box turtle the best quality of life. If it wasn't for y'all he would have died at two days old. He had the best 4 months a baby turtle could ask for. I will miss you Bambi.

I have noticed little bugs. Like super small bugs in my baby turtle tank. It's an indoor tank. Has coco and cypress in it. It is kept at good humidity(not a lot). What are these guys?

My baby turtle Bambi as some of you know is a special needs turtle (one nostril, half a leg, one eye and the other showing signs) he is small, but is learning how to eat on his own! Praise The Lord. Though he doesn't understand how to get in his water. I put him in there all the time. I also...
