General Care Discussion :: Tell me about my turtles

[Xait]

Ok, I need some one to tell me all about my turtles. I dont know what is a good shell color like if its rot or some dieses and I need to know if there just fine. Tell me what you need to know or see about my turtles and my tank

Xait, you'll probably need to post some pictures to get the most accurate responses in regards to your turtles. What are you seeing in your turtles shells that worries you? There is lots of good information in the health portion of this website that specifically deals with your turtles shells, here is the link.

If you can't find answers there please post a picture so we can see what you are seeing. Or you can locate a herpetologist vet and have them take a look if you are really worried or you notice any behavior change that might be a sign of more urgent issues.

I learn more from talking to people I think. I like to ask questions

as for pictures here

[Xait]

That is my biggest one

[Xait]

I dont want to take my turtles to a vet if there is nothing wrong with them. Also I dont know squat about turtle shells. please see other topics I have made

[pinkcadillac]

I cant see anything from that picture that i would worry about. What are you seeing that led you to post this picture? What are you worried about?

[Xait]

Well I didnt have a UVB light for them for about 2 months

[pinkcadillac]

If they have a UVB set up for them now, they will most likely be fine. Just keep watching them and as long as there shells are firm and dont develop any type of white spots (dont confuse this with scute shedding, pictures for comparison can be found in the link i gave you above)
