Just yesterday my baby turtle died. It died just before I could have taken him to the vet. Fortunately, the other turtle seems to be very healthy. :cry:

Very sorry to hear this. :( It would be a good idea to clean out the tank well, just in case whatever your turtle had was contagious. Keep an eye out for any symptoms/unusual behavior in the other.

I'm still fearing the day, when my turtle will pass away. Hopefully he will have lived a full life by that time.
