SORRY! SLIDERS
I just got a 13 year old turtle and have some questions, can you help?
I recently got a 13 year old red slider turtle. he came with all the lights and a tank. Since I got him about two months ago, I rarely see him get out of the water. I know he is phsyically able, because he does it once a week or so. Also, his shell is peeling, is that how they shed or does he need a vet? Sorry if these are ignorant q's, i am new to reptiles.
1. Go to a good care site, like this one (http://tortoise.org/general/watcare.html), to check the basic care needs.
2. Sliders should spend a decent amount of time asking. Do you have a basking set up? Infrared or other warm light pointed at a good spot for the turtle to rest under?
3. Adjust temps based partially on behavior. The air temps might be too cool or too hot.
4. Shell flaking- loosing a scale or two at a time is not a big deal. Loosing a bunch of scales over a short period is a cause for concern- stress, poor diet, and some kinds of infection can cause that. Check http://www.anapsid.org/shellrot.html
