@Yvonne G please help. What are your temperatures? Did you take the turtle out of the water?

Is this an adult or hatching?
An adult, the enclosure is way too small.
A hatchling then it's fine for a short time. Can he exit the water easily? You should not be using the ramped water dishes pet stores sell. A low sided clay saucer should be used.
What are the temps in the enclosure?
