Hi, I'm new to this forum but not new to reptiles.
I have 2 softies, a yearling and a hatchling. They were taken from a local lake in an effort to let them grow and then release them. Right now they are in a 10 gallon tank with about 5 inches of water. I have a sand substrateand, a small basking area with a UV light, and a small filter and airator. They use to live with a small red ear (about the same size) who recently died (cause unknown). Just reciently I have noticed that they have bumps/dots on their backs. They also seem to thinning. I am feeding them water turtle pellets. My main concern is to get these turtles healthy again and release them as soon as possible. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I can send pictures if anyone cares to take a look. Please post or e-mail me with suggestions. trmpt_shabado584@yahoo.com
Thank you.
