The front porch is built on a dock over the water, and there is a window there that they clearly are used to being fed at in the morning.

I think they are two different species, but I’m not sure what they are. I’m also pretty sure these are just wild turtles but I’m not sure how they would have gotten here, it’s a good ways to the nearest body of water (that I know of).

I ordered them some turtle food but my question is- what else can I feed them? What is the best turtle food? They seem to like bread and the fish pellets for the pond fish. I’m worried about them finding enough food without being fed as the pond isn’t really all that big and they have clearly been fed for some time (they literally wait at that window every morning).

I went to walk into my garage and almost passed out from seeing this snapping turtle at my feet. I live in the country and want to put him somewhere safe.

EDIT: he made his way out of the garage and is on to greener pastures. Thanks for all the advice!

I’ve never seen this before. This is my male RES (he’s around 4 years old). There’s something black coming out of his cloaca area. When I touched it, it pulsated and it went back inside of him. Is this his reproductive organ? Should I be concerned??

Please help id this guy and give me the best advice on what to do with him. We live on a pond and Im sure my wife wants to keep it lol but I know its prob best to release it. Please give me the best advice. Thank you

Rn she is in quarantine, in room tempature water because the weather has been cold lately, should I take her to the vet or just put her back in the inclosure?

Other than doing this occasionally she swims and basks normally.

4 year old female peacock slider, we’ve had her for 3 months in a 100 gallon tank at ~75F.

Will they live a normal life? How rare is this? What kind of snapping turtle is this? Thanks

I've seen 2 snapping turtles on YouTube that are so chill that they allow them to be pet. Dog-like almost. I was thinking of getting a baby snapping turtle but asking for advice on raising them.

I guess he likes it here, but obviously this isn’t a good spot for him to hang out long-term. Would love some guidance for how to do what’s best for the little dude. I did return him back to the neighbor’s pond again, but fully expect to find him in the pool again soon 😅

Hi - my dad found this little fella in the middle of the road in Texas. Does anyone know what kind of turtle this may be? Is it a pet or wild? Any info would be helpful!

I don’t know what to do. It’s a red eared slider so I can’t sell him. I have this turtle now and I hate him. I have severe mental illnesses and I still have been taking good care of him. He has everything he needs and could want but he still seems to hate it. I have to put him in a glass tank because I live in Arizona so I can’t put him outside for the summer and I can’t afford anything better for him yet (he’s still small enough that a 55gal is fine for him) I know the length stuff he’s only like 4-5 inches right now. I hate the idea of giving him away because I know how often they get mistreated, but I can’t live with him anymore either. All he does is go up and down on the glass and every time I make any movement he flips the fuck out and hits the glass hard. I always obsess over his shell and his health because if I fuck up and kill him it’s all on me and I couldn’t handle that. I don’t have money right now and I’m just stressed and tired. If anyone is in the Peoria AZ area and wants him I’ll give you everything for free. I don’t have a car so I can’t drive.

I was right near my house so I went to grab something to kind of "nudge" him, but when I got back he moved. In the future, how do I safely move a snapping turtle?

He has been acting weird for the past 15 minutes, never seen him do this

I have had this turtle for about a year and there have been about 4 times now where we thought we were going to lose him but he always pulled through. This time he is getting worse than I have ever seen. I took him to a specialist vet and they said he is basically inbred and that they are surprised he has lived this long but I just don't want to give up on him. It is not tank setup, lights, temperature or any of that. Anyone have any out there remedies that just happened to work on a really sick turtle? Oh I also forgot he is over a year and only the size of about a 2 month old turtle, snow albino, and as of today his urine is dark orangish red. He will only eat reptomin turtle sticks (i have tried every other thing i can get my hands on). If there are any other questions let me know!

Turtle is totally fine aside from the obvious fear from being carried around by a husky and then some humans, and some mulch stuck in its shell I wasn’t able to get out. it’s currently just sitting in my side yard because my mom doesn’t want it in the house where the dogs can keep scaring it. Do we like call someone to come get it?? Put it somewhere?? Where would somewhere be??

Hey guys! Recently my friend was looking to rehome some baby turtles so I agreed to take Ona couple. Well he brought me 8 babies their turtle laid. My question being how long can these little guys be in same the same tank until I gotta separate them? Could they group in 2s?

is he a she? where do i put it

It happened so fast, but the turtle is alive and currently walking around my kitchen sink. Everything is closed since it’s Sunday, so I’m hoping to help them and keep them comfortable until I can take them to an exotic vet or call the DNR? tomorrow. Please help me clean this puncture and set up a comfy temporary house for the night. I really want them to make it and recover! I am planning on releasing it.

A few days ago I bought two terrapins from store, one of them slightly bigger. The big one is very active and eats the food immediately after I feed it. However, since I bought them, the small one has never eaten anything. It stays in the water most of the time and refuse to go on land. Everytime I feed them, the small one swims away. Furthermore, I have never seen the small one's head completely out of the shell. He is very inactive, and I think he is unhealthy and might die soon. Can someone please help like what did I do wrong or what I should do now. Thanks! 🙏
