Turtle rescue

[lukester825]

thats a pretty cool looking tank.

The turtle just floats around the top of the tank. Is that normal? he's been doing it for a long time.

Snap has still been floating around. It seems like he is too bouyant to get to the bottom, like there's an air bubble under his shell or something. Hopefully its nothing..

Anyone seen this before?

its called corking and it basically means that your turtle has gas. I dont know much about it but i know you need to see a good herp vet.

 

[lukester825]
