He just got over a phemona and he was doing better, eating and all. But now he won't eat again and when I checked him the other day the bottom of his shell is like purple and blue in spots. It's also very weak and not getting any stronger..I'm afraid of it getting so soft it'll fall apart. But I have no clue what's causing it to become softer..not enough moisture? Not enough nutrition?

I've been force feeding him baby food because he won't eat, and I force feed him a liquid calcium medicine..but it doesn't seem to be working.

the first few months when i got my baby turtle, it was eating fine and swimming and looked healthy. i bought a filter,water heater,light,basking dock. it used the basking dock all the time. but all of a sudden one day it just sleeps,doesnt eat,and doesnt bask on the dock anymore. i have another turtle in the tank also that seems ok. i dont want to take it to the vet because i ran out of money. today i purchased the reptisafe
water conditioner and i wondering if maybe the chrlorine in the water hurts its eyes and maybe thats the problem. i have resaerched the internet and found a few other people
with turtles of similar symptoms but all of them have different opinions and i dont know what to believe.

My chinese water dragon, who's about 6 months old, just got really dark markings around his mouth and on the side of his head. They're almost black. It appeared there about a week ago. Does anyone know what it could be?

I think that my turtle is sick and i want to take her to a vet but i want to know how much it will cost me. I am not sure if it depends on the breed, but she is a red ear slider. I dont want to spend a lot on a turtle so hopefully it is cheep.

Hey,
My dad had got 2 bearded dragons for free from a friend, and about a month ago, one died from who knows what.
Before that one died, he had stopped eating, and seemed like he had trouble seeing where food was.

Now the other bearded dragon stopped eating about 2 days ago. We gave him a pinky, and have given him crickets to eat, but will not eat them.

I don't want this one to die too =(
What should we do????????

Hi,

I am considering getting (purchasing) a rough green snake as a pet. I would appreciate any information, like, what and how often they eat, how big the tank/cage should be, and where I can get them. I would really appreciate information from snake owners, especially past and present owners of this breed of snake.

Thanks
