my turtle do eat since 3 weeks,i have a heater,there are some brown colour on his shell and body.please can someone help me.

Here are some ideas about getting them to eat: http://www.redearslider.com/entice_eating.html

Can you post pics of the shell? What's the tank like? What's the water and basking temperatures? How much water is in there, what kind of lights and filter do you have? What have you been trying to feed it? How big is the turtle? Where was he bought from?

How long have you had your turtle (is he a RES?)? What is the temp of the water and basking area?

Are his eyes open and alert, or does he keep them closed?

What did you feed him when he was eating?

If you can post a picture of the shell showing the brown color on his body and shell, that would be good.

It is RES,temperature 27 C,his eyes is normal,i use no type of light and filter,i change the water each 3-4 days.
I do not put too much water as he do not know how to swim since 3 years and i do not risk it to died.
I tried to feed it pelets,crevets,carrot,fish,lettuce,Tuna fish (Canned – in water) and he just touch the food and not eat.
I give you some images of my RES,please help me,he is not eating since 4 weeks.tell me if the image is not good.

I can't see anything from those pictures. Have you tried live fish?

Hey just click on the link and mozlila will download it(a window will open and click save file).
No,but what type of living fish i can feed him ??

Still doesn't work.. could be linked to your private account. Live feeder fish - rosy red minnows and guppies.

warmed raw salmon, small bite sized chunks.

If it will not eat that, its not alive!

Sorry it little too big and do you see any problems or diseases ??

He/she's a big one! Make sure you have the right lighting and the water and basking area temps are appropriate. They won't eat if it's too cold.

Ok, so, your turtle needs to NOT eat! /smile. Seriously, that is one beefy boy.

It's possible the water conditions are poor, maybe some skin fungus and algae on the shell. Overall her condition is extremely poor. She is either very overweight or is very sick causing all that swelling/bloating.

I agree with Steve. Her condition is bad. She's obviously a good eater, so for her to not be eating now is a problem. I think she needs to see a vet ASAP. The swelling needs to be checked out she's probably very sick.

Oh my she looks heavy! Call around for vets. Some are cheaper, some are more expensive.. I would highly consider taking her in. Good luck!

I will tried to find a vet but how to avoid this diseases ??and I thick it edema.
