I'm glad your turtles are doing better. Did you treat their eyes with anything?

yes i treated them with zoo med eye drops. and i also moved the heat lamp farther away because i think it was too close and too hot. i just did that this morning so i will see how they are when i get home and check the basking temperature.

Glad to hear it!

FYI - Sometimes turtles like to BUG their eyes out (like people do!), but then they retract the eyes after they go back in the water. I know mine does this when she is basking sometimes & it freaked me out the first time she did it. I walked up to her, and a coupla minutes later, eyes went back to normal size.

Congrats on your job offer!!!! :D :D
