Ok, i think my turtle def. has an illness -- there is some white stuff at both ends of its mouth.
What does this mean?

I've also been hearing a lot about swollen eyes. What is that all about?

I wouldn't ask these questions but its impossible to get to the main site!

would you describe it as mucus, bubbles, sores or foam? either way, it is usually a symptom of a serious illness and you should raise water to around 82 degrees.

swollen eyes are just that... it should be very noticeable and they might have difficulty opening their eyes.

are there any other symptoms?

main site isn't ready yet :)

Does your turtle have swollen eyes? Can you describe what's on the sides of his mouth more specifically? How long has he been this way? Does he have any other symptoms? Is he eating and active?

What is his set-up like?

Its not mucus or sores or bubbles.. Its just a tiny white substance.
