I dont see any deep ulcers.My other concern is this turtle sleeps a lot, and hardly enters the water.

Not typical for a Twistneck. Is it possible what I'm seeing is a secondary condition caused by something else?

RI is my first thought.

He does float some when he enters the water to feed. But can balance himself off.

And eats like a pig. Eating is not an issue for this turtle.

It eats superworms,but prefers minnows over everything.

I'll double check the pH, take the charcoal out of the filter and treat the water for a few days.

Of all the turtles I have, and have had, this particular species has me beat.
