Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Turtles don't have red blood, right?
So what could it be? Doesn't seem like there's anything on it, it's just red or pinkish.

Will try and take a picture soon if needed.

Hi! One of my turtles does, too, but the vet said it was alright. Btw, I thought turtle's blood's red, too. One of my turtle has had ear abscess and got surgery -- the wound looked red just like one on human.

The webbing on my turtle's feet are usually a little pinkish. If it or any limb were red, it might be of concern since it might be indicating an injury.
