First off, I asked for help, not a response from someone who thinks they are the turtle guru of jerk island.
Mixing species is never a good idea. These turtles have different requirements
actually these turtles all have VERY simular, if not identical housing requirements. Its not like im mixing a snapping turtle and slider
Or so you thought
believe me, any sign of aggression, and they would have been seperated. They have all lived peacefully together since hatchlings, and i have NEVER, not even once seen any of them attack each other
I'm sure it did hurt! Why didn't you take him to a vet? If this had been your dog I'm sure your would have
Actually, I brought it to the vet (he gave me the sulfa dip) and he advised me on how to apply it to the water, and how long it would take to heal. He said it wasn't a bad bite. I kept him housed seperatly until the wound was FULLY healed.
And you left him in that tank with no medical treatment?!?!?!?!
wrong again. I kept him seperate and gave him the same medication, called the vet, and was informed that the wound was reopening from rubbing against the back of his shell.
Gee, what a surprise. I can't imagine all that happened overnight
actually it was overnight. When i last left him, he was sunning on his basking spot with the smaller turtle relaxing on his shell. NO sign of injury, except for a couple small white blotches (which the vet informed me was shed spotting)
Hmnm... funny that you seemed to know he'd been bitten before. NO! He did not die of cancer! Thank God you don't have pictures posted. I think they would make many people physically ill
again, he was bitten on accident while another turtle was chasing some fish. None of my turtles ever purposly attacked him.
Sure they will if they're bitten and don't get proper medical attention.
wasn't a bite. just asking for some help.
You know its people like you who make this website stand for everything its NOT meant to be. I can't believe you accused me of not taking proper care of my herps. I have kept herps for a long time, this was my first "problem". I seeked an answer, not criticism on how You think i take care of my herps. I take better care of them then your own mother takes care of you.
