I was looking on yahoo answers and some say its normal but he has never done this before. It looks painful truthfully, one of his eyes close and his head jus twitches for about 3 sec. Its been happening all day, on and off. His eye isnt swollen, doesnt look injured or unhealthy. Last night it got pretty cold, but i believe he had enuff heat. Also he stayed on the basking rock alot longer then usual today. I read it could be a lack of vitamin b, i have only feed him feeder fish twice. I feed him that, carrots,pellets, lettuce,apple and pheonix worms. Not at the same time ofcourse, iam just saying his diet isnt one sided. His water is clean, the chlorine is out of it. At this point i just dont know, only thing i could think of is maybe he eat a bad feeder fish or he cold. Either way iam worried for him and any help would be appreciated. There isnt a vet for 100 miles where i live, seriously. So iam pretty much have to solve this on my own. Thanks

I've had a pet turtle for about 5 years. I've always heard about the warnings of being careful about salmonella and always wash my hands, etc.
But is the main risk with new turtles that could already be infected with salmonella, or can any turtle or reptile just "catch" the bacteria (I think it's a bacteria...whatever it is)?
If I knew for sure that my turtle didn't have salmonella, is there still a risk of it developing it at anytime? Thank you.

I just found him outside, dehydrated, and since the local lake by me is infested with gators, I decided to keep him.
what supplies do you suggest I buy to house and feed the little guy?

My friend has asked me to baby-sit her turtles and I'm kind of scared of them. I didn't know that they had claws and they're kind of freaking me out. If you can give me any tips on how to clean, hold, or play with them it would be greatly appreciated.

I have two western box turtles which were hatched from the same group of eggs. Since they are only two years old, they do not have the adult characteristics to determine their sex. Since they are the same age, they only distinguishing feature is their size. One is a lot bigger (almost twice the size) with a very round shell, while the smaller of the two has a flatter shell. Thanks for any and all info.

There is an area of woods that had a large amount of wild box turtles. Well recently they started bulldozing the area so I went and collected over 20 wild turtles from the area before the area was cleared. I have a large fenced in backyard and used some chicken wire to keep them in the garden. I am having trouble finding places to release them around here. because the habitat I found them at was great. How hardy are these guys in the wild? Do they adapt well to different environments?
