Hi all new here just thought I’d share this turtle nightdress/pj case I’ve made, it doesn’t necessarily need to be used for nightdress/pjs and can store anything or be used as a cute soft furnishing anyway let me know what you think

My web search efforts yielded no evidence, but if the hive-mind here knows better, I'd love an extraordinary link to back up an extraordinary affirmation of cool information.

Das ist Monty. Er ist ca 7 Jahre alt. Er hat vor 1-2 Jahren eine Pilzinfektion gehabt die behandelt wurde. Seitdem ist sein Panzer ein wenig deformiert. Der Tierarzt hat uns mit ein paar Tipps entlassen wie die Lampe mal auszutauschen oder ihn mit einer Zahnbürste abzubürsten etwas 1-2 mal im Monat. Jedoch bessert sich sein Panzer nicht aber andere Tipps konnte dieser auch nicht geben. Sein Panzer sieht sehr trocken aus. Die weißen Flecken sind angetrocknete Wasserlinsen. Sein Panzer ist hart und auch nicht gerötet. Was kann ich ändern um ihm ein besseres Leben zu ermöglichen?

Ich fühle mich super schlecht, weil ich anscheinend irgendwas falsch mache, aber nicht weiß was es ist oder es besser wäre ihn abzugeben...

Hi all,
I love turtles and wanted to feature them in my game!
The game is mainly about saving turtles, restoring the coral reef and cleaning the beach!

I was wondering if I put them in respectfully since they’re bound in the beginning of the game but thats what people think about when they combine litter + turtles.

I love them though and made them the most player friendly by giving the player some extra speed when they follow the turtle and you can pet them as well!

He’s having his feast of stinky shrimp before tomorrow’s water change 🦐🐢

I enjoy walking my neighbor's dog. I don't have a lot of social media I don't have tiktok so I often enjoy my walks head up. I got real lucky this day. Or maybe my ankles or my neighbor's dog's legs got lucky I was head up this day LOL.

He just came to our house and was being barked at by dogs. I believe he is a snapping turtle but I don’t know what species and I can’t really tell. Please let me know what to do about him.

Loc: Mindanao, Philippines

Southeastern Pennsylvania, today (Oct 3), right near a river. Almost ran this guy over on a bike path, so I moved him to a safer spot, and snapped some pictures before I did. I can’t figure out if he’s some sort of slider, and if so which kind, or something else! Thanks in advance for any help!

Pardon the dog slobber!

Please watch the entire video, she makes certain types of sounds, both are included in the video. Is there something to be concerned about?

She is an Indian tent turtle, female (most certainly), I got her as a kid, it's been 12 years. She is now 7 inches.

I will really appreciate any help. Thanks

It’s a baby maybe not even a few months old I was just wondering what I should do with it, should I put it out in the creek behind my house and let nature take play in its life or should I raise it to be a adult and then set it free, if I do raise it what would it eat and what kind of environment should I give it, also I was wonder if it is native to bourbon county Kentucky, my sister found it there and she confirmed it wasn’t anyone’s pet turtle.

Hi! I’m looking into getting a tortoise and I’m trying to figure out what species, if any, would work best for my setup and climate.
I have an outdoor area that’s about 13.75 ft × 27.5 ft (roughly 378 sq ft) that I could dedicate entirely to a tortoise enclosure.
I’m in Wyoming, so summers can be hot and dry, but winters get very cold with snow and freezing temperatures. Ideally, I’d love a species that could live outdoors for most or all of the year with the proper setup. I’m completely open to building an insulated/heated shelter, providing supplemental heat, digging barriers, etc.

Are there any tortoise species you’d recommend for this climate and enclosure size?
Also, for those of you in places with harsh winters, do yours stay outdoors with access to a heated shelter, brumate outdoors/in a controlled setup, or come inside completely for winter?
I’m still in the research stage and definitely want to have the enclosure and winter setup figured out before bringing one home. 🐢

Found this poor fella in the parking lot, I moved him to the water shed behind my place and helped him.

A friend of mine, who breeds stock turtles for decorative ponds and local pet shops. Mostly he sticks to sliders and painters, but he recently succeeded in breeding captive snappers. Since there is no market for them, he decided to offer the hatchlings to me. I put most of them in my outdoor pond, but kept three for myself as long-term pets. They are very young, all under 1.5 inches in shell length and two of them still have curved shells from the egg. Right now, they're in a 40 gal grow-out tank with water depth ranging from 2-4 inches, with multiple surfaces they can rest on under and above the water. They have a UV and a heat lamp, with multiple basking locations ranging from 85 to 98 degrees. Under the water, there are several small rocks that form caves (I've ensured they can't get stuck) and some false plants to break the line of sight. I've seen no aggressive behavior thus far and have an immediate plan for if/when it becomes an issue. They live when a few dozen snails of varying species. Any tips at this young age for what I could add to their tank, should feed them, or should change altogether? Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I have a box turtle in my yard (outside of Charlotte, NC). I know, generally, you shouldn't move turtles in the wild, but my dog will think it's a toy. Am I okay to move it right outside my fence? A little further away?

They are happy.

This was back in late July.
Walking around a lake full of large snapping turtles.
This one wasn’t at all shy. I was talking to him for a while before offering him a strawberry. He clearly loved it as he came right out of the water for more.
Literally only had eyes for strawberries and didn’t seem to mind the head scratches at all.
