 sick turtle

Please take your turtle to a vet. I think it's sick. It's not usually a good idea to mix breed of turtle. But your new turtle may have been sick when you got it.

Good luck!

 pinkish white bump on my turtles face
by: Anonymous

we bought my turtle at the pet store they said it was a red eared slider turtle, about a month later we bought my brother a turtle (because mine looked lonley). They said it was a different type of slider turtle it looks much different.My turtle has not grown at all but its almost a year old, my brothers has grown to be three times the size of it and his/her skin and shell is sheding and is geting big pinky white bumps on its face (the pet store also told us that he/she has a soft shell)

you say that white bumps on the leg means she is going to have babys but he/she is not even a year old.
