General Care Discussion :: My turtle fell .. How do I check her?

[joeybsmooth]

I was dry docking my turtle and she claimed out of the box. ( the box is about a foot high.) And was gone for a little bit. Today she did not eat like she normally does. Is there a way to check to see if she is all ready besides just looking at her?

Note I could just be over reacting .. now that see by issue typed out .

As long as your not seeing any chips or cracks in the shell she should be fine. A foot fall isnt a very far drop. Turtles can take a beating. My res has escaped his tank multiple times and he has a 4-5 foot drop. Their armored tanks. He keeps on trucking like nothing happed.

They can take a pretty good drop like DB4L mentioned. Mine have escaped as well and she fell probably close to 6 foot drop. I was freaked the first time as well. I think they feel the drop and tuck and roll like a good little soldier
