Hey everyone.. I recently purchased 1.2 subadult Pelomedusa subrufa and one of them is sick, but I can't figure out exactly what is wrong, so I can't do anything to fix it.. It is one of the females, and I'm guessing it is sick from being stressed by the male. I have them separated now and all she will do is sit on the land area with her eyes closed. She has very good weight to her, and if I pick her up she will move her legs around with lots of energy and tried to bite yesterday but all with her eyes closed. She can open her eyes as I have seen her do it. These turtles have been very shy since day one hen I got them so if the male was bothering her, it was hard for me to notice. So far the only measures I have taken is separating her from the male and raising her aquarium and basking temperatures.. Any other advice or does anyone know what I can do to fix her? I'm a student as well so taking the turtle to a vet is pretty well out of the question and I am confident in myself that i can fix this turtle on my own and I have access to veterinary drugs etc.
Thanks.
Matt
