Re: weird growth..

to be honest id get it checked out. as if its left bacteria in the tank will cause infection if its something that needs treating.

Re: weird growth..

thank you so much for replying.. i was beginning to lose hope

well i took my turtle out (its a red eared slider) and had it roam around for a while, when it was dry, i noticed that the swelling got less but the skin itself is harder than wut it is supposed to be..

is it just an infection from the bacteria in the tank or should i really search for medical help?? here in egypt it is not easy to find petcare for a turtle, only for cats and dogs im afraid
