is he ok???

[jwarriner]

um......... there's nothing wrong with his shell, its his underside, that's why i don't think its that bad

still cant find my camera tho....... = (

You don't need a camera, just be less vague. I mean, c'mon, "sores AND THINGS on his underside"?? If his underside is not his plastron, what the hell is it? And what do these sores AND THINGS look like? How do you expect anyone to help you if you don't communicate some basic things about what you're seeing?

Let me help with an example:

"It looks sort of like a small cigarette burn between his back leg and tail."

The underside ( aka plastron ) is also a shell...

i know, but its not the shell, its only his skin

i would be "MAD WORRIED" if it was his shell

that's why i don't think its that bad, and hes extremely active still

last time i checked, about 50 % of a snapping turtles underside, is skin, is think its different for males and females idk, whatever lol = P

am i right????, dis ain' no slider, dis an no softshell, dis a snapping turtle, wit da itty bitty plastron (somewhat)

ain' dat so lol????

And still, it persists.

Forget about your turtle, can you describe your head injury in more detail?

 

[Mampam]

what?? what am i saying wrong?? is it not true, is the snappers underside not 50%
skin, is the plastron not small for a turtle???

am i wrong??? im trying to help my turtle with skin (not shell) abrasions and all u can say
is, "and still, it persists??"

Well all depends My alligator snapper requires a lot of care. I brush him all the time and looks like he loves it He wont snap at me when i get near his head with a brush. It soothes him .
But for the sores Got any pics?

 

[Mampam]

wow lol, most of um'v healed, but hear are two that are still there, (cough!!!) on the skin....
he had a few under his toes which are healing, that looked worse, here's an example
oh, and as you can see...... "ITS A BOY" (no homo) = P
