Hello everybody,
I just noticed that my turtles' cloaca was a bit reddish, is this normal?

Also,
- Is a water heater compulsory? because in the night, the water gets a bit cold.
- I noticed that he also yawned while he was basking, is this a sign of anything?

If it's RI, I've got that too, I visited the hospital yesterday for it. It's pretty scary and I hope he doesn't have it. :(

As it turns out, it was just the light. So its not red ;-;
I found another problem though, my smallest turtle has a mark on her head.

Any idea what caused this mark?
Sorry about the quality, i've got a old Iphone 4s. Haven't bothered to upgrade because it's still good.

Not sure about what I'm looking at, maybe is just some shedding skin on top?
