General Care Discussion :: Can my two RES's scratch each others eyes?

[Toren]

I have two female RES's and they always swim at the glass when they see me. They get excited and start hitting each other in the face sometimes. I know their claws are sharp but can they do any real harm to them by scratching their eyes?

I don't think so there pretty protective over there eyes. My turtle is quick to paw his eyes if he can't get them open in the morning

An injury is always possible, though I don't recall any serious ones from happening this way. Do keep in mind the claws get longer and sharper as they get older.

Mine like to scratch at his biting stone so that helps his claws
