mumzy50 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 My turtle was doing that as will,I was frecking as i thought i would have to sick my fingers in its mouth.I thought it was choking.Then it started to sun bath alot and keep doing funny things with its neck.Iwas told to turn heater on in tank and lot of sun bathing,and has come right now.I think it had a cold.It took three weeks to come right.Keep an eye on it,as a cold can turn nasty.What sort of turtle do you keep.

nick777 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I thought he was choking too, they are red-eared sliders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumzy50 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hi nick,keep an eye on your turtle.If when out of water it has a discharge coming out its nose,or is swimming lop sided it need help.Have you got a UVB lamp for it.I have red eared sliders as will.There is quite a lot envoled in having them.But i find it fun as they all have their own silly little ways and know you when you come near them.
