General Care Discussion :: Metalic Object

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Fri May 12, 2006 10:27 pm   Metalic Object

While I was cleaning my turtle's tank today I put him in his portable tank like I always do, but I forgot to put the lid on. He got out & fell on the floor up-side down. when I herd the thunk I ran in & saw a large gooey metallic object coming out of his anus. he immediately puled the object back in. should I be worried? Overall he looks fine. his behavior is normal & he dosen't look to be in any pain

Metallic-looking as in color? I can't imagine any object being made of metal going into him without blood and obvious pain...This object wasn't a dark purple was it? That would sound like he had flashed his penis. I'd keep an eye on him to see if there are any signs of injury (they may not be immediately apparent).
