I am going to skip the somewhat long story that comes with this turtle and skip to the basics. I am sure you do not want to read a LONG story about a turtle. So heres the main points. A friend of mine got a couple of turtles about 6 months ago. She could not keep them any longer and wanted me to take them. I said yes. So, I get this turtle and it has a really flakey shell. I guess she was chipping it off, so it is hard to see from the pictures. I am concerned about the shell, it appears to be slightly caved on both sides about 3 inches. I know after speaking to her that the owners prior to her did not take care of him. I assume we are looking at MBD but wanted to ask and see what you think.
I also thought that I would add that he does have a proper cage setup now and a vet appointment on Thursday to address his upper respiratory.
I am correct this is a male, right?
