This was like during the summer, But I have always wondered why. This is the details -

2 weeks prior to his death, He seemed a little tipsy or clumsy like he couldn't see very well, as time went by he would bump into stuff, I assumed he was going blind and I felt really sad. Then one day I picked him up and he started opening his mouth as if he was gasping for air. Then he died in my hands, I went to lay him back in his home while I went to go get a box to burry him. Well when I went to lay him down he landed on his back and I noticed a purple from the inside of his tummy, it looked as if he ruptured something. Hopefully these details will help cuz thats all I know about his death. thanks!

I've had this red-eared slider for 6 years and he was outside sunning in a big box and my daughter put dirt and stuff in the box making him able to climb out. We live in the country and the nearest pond is over 2 miles away. My heart is broken...and for those of you who've never had a turtle...they have awesome personalities...just like a dog or cat. Is there some kind of secret that might coax him home?

It is only 'pond/wet moss' that i got from a gardening store. I used to use it with my frogs and they where fine. But she might eat it. Will it cause her any harm if she does?

I work at a pet store, and have never heard our crickets that we sell chirp. Do they only chirp at night when we leave. I keep pinhead crickets at my house, for my bearded dragon. I never hear them chirp. Do only certain crickets chirp?

i have a 21 year old red eared slider and after cleaning her tank last night I noticed she had some sores on her shell and it was bleeding through the cracks. i have two other turtles in the tank with her and they show no sign of illness. Is this due to old age, or can I do something to help her. I have called most the vets in my area and nobody seems to know of anyone who even looks after reptiles, so i need to be able to take care of her myself. Thanks for any info.

I have a fairly large container in my turtle's box that he can drink/soak in and he loves it. I've seen many different opinions on the temperature this water should be though. Some say around 80 or higher, and have a cooling area also. I've also read that turtles are most active in the wild after it has rained and the ground they walk on is around 60-65, so this is preferable. Any opinions on which is correct? My turtle's box is basically room temperature, probably 70 degrees or so, but I have a heat lamp pointed at his water and it gets pretty warm, high 80s/low 90s sometimes. He stays in the water, though, and really likes it, so is it ok to do this in the winter only? I live in NJ by the way and have his box next to a window so he can see outside, so he might get a draft from it.
