Hey, welcome to the forum! I hope you can get a chance to read up on the different sections on this web site (click the RES Basic Care link at the top of the screen). Keep an eye on that sore too. Baby RES are very delicate and succumb to disease and infection pretty easily. Post some pics of you can.

Hi Guy, welcome to the forum. Tell us about your setup for the turtles - their tank, their lighting, their food. We'd love to hear all about it!

here are some pics

Wow Looks like a nice big tank! could you post pics of the entire tank? You might want to take out the shell, though your turtle might get stuck in it.

cute little turtles!

[Tenodera]

Oh and WELCOME TO TURTLE TALK

peace

[DavidY]

He he! He's a cute little guy. You might want to be careful that he doesn't get himself wedged under or inside anything underwater. Babies sometimes have a way of doing that and can drown that way.

there are two of them i picked the two smallest they had but one of them is a little bit bigger than the other one also should i put the hurt one in a different tank until he heels up?

[Tenodera]

Well as long as the bigger one doesn't pick on the injured one, it should be ok.

Welcome. Cute little fellas/gals. What does the sore on the food look like?

[guywith2turtles]

it looks sorta like a white spot at first i thought it was fungus but when i got him home its like a piece of his skin is missing but its not bleeding or anything

[kmichael55]

well turtles do shed skin, so it was probably that unless the skin around was red or something
