HI, I have just been given these turtles and need to identify them to work out how to care for them. I know they are young, and one of them has a soft shell so I think they're not in great condition. I have calcium enriched food for them and an uvb 10.0 lamp on the way. Is there anything else I should be doing?

They look like Florida red-bellied cooters, Pseudemys nelsoni, to me.

Cool-looking turtles! Are you going to keep them?

Do you have any other turtles or tortoises?

Welcome to the forum! :D
