eggknawg said:I meant to send this post to a vet on here that i went to named "exoticsdr" but i guess i didnt do it correctly, to answer your questions (sorry it took so long) it was a baby RES that i had won at the fair and we thought it was blind (swollen eyes, would never open them) we took it to an exotics vet and we found out and fixed the problem and he was doing fine for about a week then one day he just passed. I still have the other 2 (RES and YBS) from the fair and they are doing perfectly fine *we thought since they were Fair Turtles that they wouldnt last long but now they've shown they are 100% healthy.
*Question* My YBS is a tad bit bigger than my RES, and the YBS (yellow bellied slider) always snaps at the smaller RES in attempt to grab his food, is this normal or do i have an over-aggressive aquatic turtle? YBS always bites my fingers when i hand feed him (he thinks its food) while the RES gently grabs the food out of my hand. ALSO the YBS always stands on top of the smaller RES to bask which i thought was weird, what's up with that??
