10 months old. are there any shell problems or pyramiding?

he looks alright to me but um i think he/she is a bit small for a 10 month old RES..... other than that she looks fine

His shell looks normal and good looking too.

Looks good to me to, but looks like he might be retaining a few baby scutes... but I was told thats kinda normal for young turtles since the baby scutes are the hardest to get rid of.

10month? isn't he too small for that age

[blackforces get you]

10 months? it looks like its 2 inches big. mines is only about a year and going on 2 and is about 4'. what are you feeding?. his shell looks fine but might need to shed. but it will happen naturally. just wait

I feed him 2 Zoo med pellets a day. He also eats his own poop. I don't want him to but he's quick. I've only been able to stop him a handful of times.

lol about the poop thing. its natural. and the 2 zoo med pellets a day..... hmm i use to feed my res that many when he was about 1 inch. now hes eating many but i think your doing the right thing about the 2 pellets thing. im not really sure though because i use a different type of food. i use reptomin so you might got different results

Try putting four pellets in and see if he stops eating his poop. He may not be satisfied with only two.

His shell looks fine.

PS I saw on the vid how you feed him in that little indent. You shoul just drop pellets in the water because unless your turtles entire mouth is under water, it causes the turtle severe pain to swallow.

[blackforces get you]

sfm: does it hurt the turtle when its out of water swallowing?

I usually drop the pellets in the water. The dock is only for Youtube. When he was smaller he could fit most of his head in the hole to gulp water but now that he is bigger, he always goes back in the water to swallow.
