Turtle Escaped and Now his eyes are puffy...

dylan0483 Feb 28, 2004 01:00 PM

Hi everyone, I have three red earred sliders and one managed to get out of his tank the other day. It took a while to find him because he is quite the hider I found out. He managed to make it off of his basking rock and out the top of the tank... At first I couldnt have imagined how he got out but you cant argue with the results. The reason Im emailing you is that he was lost for probably about a day and when I found him he was obviously dried out and his eyes were puffy. Is this something for me to be concerned about or is this not that big of a deal. Thanks for the help...
