I have 3 YBS in a 30 gallong tank. 2 females and a male. Just today i noticed that there was a red thing on my turtles tail. I'm not sure what it is. Here's what it looks like:

Please help! I don't know what to do with it if it's a disease or something.

Hard to see what it can be from those pics or if its fresh or old. I'd recommend a vet visit ASAP and separate the turtles.

I'm guessing here because I've never seen it in person but I would say that's bite damage.

The cloaca might be blocked... this really needs to be seen by a herp vet ASAP.
