Hi
I feel sooo guilty right now..
I was changing the turtle tank water with my Python..all 4 turtles were on the floating dock..so I left them there when I went to turn the water on to fill it back up after draining it...
Somehow the hot water got turned up too high and as I was dumping the water conditioner in all the turtles jumped in the water..like they usually do after a water change...I was re-adjusting the lights when I saw one turtle who was on the bottom swimming only moments before...float to the top slowly on his side!
The thermometer on the glass read 100 degrees!!!
I quickly scooped up all 4 turtles and ran into the bathroom...filling the sink with cool water...
after a few minutes I started blowing slowly in the face of one of the turtles...and he moved!!!
The rest were not responsive when I pulled gently on there feet...they didn't retract them or react at all when I placed them in the water...
So now I only have one baby..he's basking with his eyes open and head out...totally normal looking...
I just feel so so guilty...and so sad...I don't know what to do now..I hope my remaining turtle will be ok
