is my turtle hurt?

texastrash Jun 24, 2005 06:59 PM

I cought this adult 3 toe and he has what looks like a scrape down his back and it goes through the scales to show white. the white also shows around the edg of some other scales along the scrape. I assumed it would heal when i cought him but as it is still there i figured id ask what if anything to do.
thanks

Can you post a photo of it for us to look at? Then we might be able to offer some insight.
