Hi guys… I have two questions if that’s OK.
1. Flash, my red eared slider turtle, has been acting like a dog would act in heat. I think she is carrying eggs. How long will a turtle carry her eggs? When should I worry and take her to the vet?
2. The back of her shell is curling down and I believe it is cutting into her legs. She has cut marks at the back of her “knees“ and is actually bleeding a little. Does anyone know what this could be from and how I can fix it?
Thank you in advance to anyone who can offer help.
Turtle info: I’ve had my red ear slider turtle for a little over a year. 250 gal tank, uvb bulbs, heat lamp, basking area, feed her about 1 Tbsp of dry pellet food and dried worms 3 times a day, I believe she is about 14 years old, but not sure.
