take it to a vet...DUH...jeez people...

P.S. - Sorry buddy, from the sound of it your turtle is probably reallllly sick. How do you take care of him? How big is your tank? How much water is your filter rated for? How often do you change the water? Do you have a place for the turtle to dry off completely? A Basking lamp? UVB flourescent lighting? Get back to me.

keep it on the level man. There's always going to be newcomers who don't know what to do. no need to blast them.

Jamie,

Have you taken him to a vet? How's he doing?
