Answer 1

Could be that your turtle has a disease. I would take my turtle to the Vet.

Answer 2

Sliders are great for decorating ponds or large tanks. I have had two for 36 yrs now plus a 8 yr old and a 5 yr old. This is how I have taken care of them for 36 yrs. Great pets.

I have had them in a stand alone 150gal pond from sears..for about 6 yrs now..

Answer 4

Take your turtle to the vet as soon as possible. Turtles take being sick much worse than humans do so you need to treat this early.  If left long enough it could be fatal.

Answer 8

I think it's mites. What kind of turtle do you have? and take it to a vet immediatly. Especially if you've been noticing a lack of energy and active behavior. If he/she has it's eyes closed most of the time, and are puffy/swollen then it's most deffinitly not well.
