livingart Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 haven't had or seen a gay turtle yet they could get mixed up with pheromones from the female in the water in a small space though 8) the only thing to watch out for is a prolapsed penis (can't be retracted) as this can be damaged by dragging on the ground or gravel can be treated by vet if this keeps happening by pushing back in and suturing for a while to hold it in gay turtles communicate by short wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repto Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 if you ever get one with a prolapsed penis,before taking to the vet sprinkle offending item with normal household sugar,it should shrink and shrivel up and retract before your eyes.Happened to a friends turtle and after much overseas vet to vet talk this was done and worked a treat.

mumzy50 Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Wow that would hurt But it would be a lot cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumzy50 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Will i thought i would give an update about my gay turtles.Will they are not gay,its a dominance thing between males from what i read on google.Interesting as i have never seen turtles do that.

DonnaM Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 mmm interesting... I've never known that to happen either. You're never too old to learn something new! I just have a female with male claws... shes definately a female and has longer claws then most of my males.... vet was most impressed with this 'oddity' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
