This is kind of an odd post but im sure you will under stand. Some time in spring my turtle started to have... for lack of a better discription white jelly like poop. I thought this might have been a sign of stress so i looked up her speciese and found out that they needed more than a litterbox half way full of water. So i remodeled the tank it was in and he seemed MUCH more active and overall very happy. Still the jelly poop. So I gave up for a while, then i was reading a book on turtles i got when i first got my turtle and found out it might have worms. So i called all my local vets and none of them would take care of an exotic turtle (in case your wondering what kind it is its a Malaysian Boxie) finally i gave up. last week i was looking up info on somefish and found out that worms HATE garlic so some people feed fish garlic if they have worms. I tried this with my turtle and yesterday i found REGULAR POOP!!!!!!! In an odd way im so happy!!!!

so if your turtle ever has worms feed it garlic.

p.s i think the worms came from feeder fish from petco
