This is the first time Axle's tummy & tummy shell has been very very pink. I want to know anything & everything that turtle parents know about tummy shell care. Remember Axle is a water turtle & I don't take him out of water too long because he doesn't like it. But I can chang that.
Is there anything I can rub on to his tummy & tummy shell?
Is it an infection?
A rash?
I have added calcium, vitamins & minerals to his diet through pills. He eats a big meal once every 2 weeks & eats tiny tiny fish when he wants & some fishfood everyday. For his big meal he gets a whole can of cat food or 2-5 adult mice.
I added the pills to his diet because he was having proplems with 1 leg, now hes fine & can walk much further, better & faster.
If I need a special light does it come in a light bulb form? or tube form? light bulb would be best due to the pond setup.
Axle a 3 year old Male Common snapping turtle & weighs about 10 pounds.
oh ya, & his top shell is very hard, so there is nothing wrong with it, & his tummy shell is quite small & is not ment to be as hard, I know that much, its just the pink I'm worried about.
All & any help is good
Thanks guys
