Answer 2

They don't and it doesn't sound good. You need to take your turtle to a herp or exotics vet and since you sound like your new at this, you need to make sure you have the right setup.

Ten gallons per inch of shell, water heater, filter, dock, two light fixtures, 5.0 uvb bulb, heat bulb, 78F water, 90F basking. No gravel or small stones either.
