Hello, I'm not really new to the forum persay, more like a lurker - but I've been reading up a lot.
Anywho, I have two baby RES turtles. Ernie & Thor. [ Even though they're too small to determine their sex, I still love their names. ] Anywho, I've had them for .. almost a month now. It was an early christmas gift from my boyfriend, and he brought them in those little lagoons that the pet shops have. But I recently switched my turtles living area into a 10 galloon tank for now, because thats the only tank I have around, and honestly, there isn't enough time in the day to upgrade further than that.
On with the point, my loving Ernie has been REALLY lethargic and sleeping all the time, not eating, and I noticed he has these spots which are scaring me. I feed them pellets, sometimes shrip, krill, pieces of spinach. Thor sleeps a lot but he'll still eat and such. No spots on him. I dechlorinate the water, I put eyedrops in both their eyes for safe sakes. But I have no idea HOW or WHERE or WHY or most importantly WHAT, these spots are.
I wont be able to take him to the vet for a couple of days, so I was hoping for some help and guidance.
Thank you for taking the time to read this considerably lengthy plea. Lovely forum by the way! I love it!
Spot under his eye, and as you can see near his claws. He has some on his left hind leg as well.
Other side.
Thank you once again!
