hey guys i have the same issue w slider, he’s a baby only an inch and a half in diameter. He has the same neurological issue as the one on this post. The only difference is instead of him looking all the way up he looks all the way to the right I wanna know if there was ever ...
I'm here for the same reason. My terrapin snaps for food but misses it totally. My hunch is that she has a vitamin A deficiency because I've battled for years to have her accept veges in her diet. I hope Momo made it. I've finally found some turtle pellets that she likes with vitamins in them and ho...
... we talked about RI (and most people have moved onto the Facebook page) but a symptom would be listing or swimming in circles. It could also be neurological but the lump is of concern. How "severe" is his sideways swimming? I wouldn't be overly concerned about the head twitches unless ...
... room and move it to a corner that's more private for her. I think the bonking was more of a accidental result of a flight response as opposed to a neurological issue.

... is always better to deal with situations naturally before medical treatment. But I would still go with your plans on the filtration to determine a neurological disorder. But the bubble issue, it seems very minor at this point... Great observation Red.
There very well could be a RI going on without question and in regards to a neurological disorder you are right in kinda both ways that it could occur at anytime really. More so during the incubation period in the egg prior to hatching but it does occur sometimes ...
