i've never heard of this, i have two for 7 years now and mine never did this, could be infection or something. try your nearest pet store, ask them, or research on line.

No. Sounds like an infection. Get it to a reptile vet asap! Also, check out my page about turtle care to see if you have the correct habitat conditions and equipment. Good luck! www.geocities.com/radiofemme/turtles

No, it's not normal!! Sounds like inner ear infection/abcess. Your turtle needs to be seen by a vet ASAP! Good luck!

It is probably the ears that are swollen. This is a common problem that is an infection that generally needs a quick trip to a vet.
