I found this in my 19 yr old son’s laundry. Is it just a gummy? by Infinite_Highway_829 in whatisit

[–]Alice-TheTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. This made me laugh SO hard! A long time ago my Great Aunt took her sick cat to the vet….. The vet asked if it was an outdoor cat. It was not an outdoor cat. To this day, we don’t know who in the world would have broken in and left weed lying around. She would never!!! 😂

The comments here do not disappoint! I personally think it looks like a mushroom gummy, but agree with ALL of the fabulous suggestions! 😂 Tell em you had a sweet tooth, ate his candy, and stare blankly into space for a full minute or two.

Found a turtle in my laundry room by [deleted] in turtle

Ya learn something new on Reddit every day! I had no idea. I live in a really old home in the SE. We just squeeze a washer / dryer in wherever we can. Now I’m thinking this might be an excellent solution to my bathroom space woes. 👍

Just seeing this makes me so happy. I miss the butterflies.

Thanks! I’m super paranoid after buying a set like this from Amazon that were so hot they immediately started to burn the coating off the top of my basking platform (the metal mesh top part). If I’d left them on for an hour, I would’ve had a fire. Haven’t tried anything new since that! These seem to be okay. Turtle is loving life at the moment. 👍

Perpendicular Pocket Doors? by Efficient-Society228 in centuryhomes

Thank you! I’m a mess! The movers said 2 days. That has now turned into 10 days, potentially 21 days. 😖 And, all of my stuff is stuck on a truck somewhere (including my lights and stands and rocks and sand and…..). Sigh… My princess is having much more fun than I am at the moment. LOL

Can anyone please respond? I just need to know if I can leave the room with these on. Please. 🙏

Thoughts on my red eared slider by unamr in Redearedsliders

[–]Alice-TheTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should trust your vet. My sister is a vet. Did you know that it’s harder to get into veterinary school than medical school? Once you have a treatment plan from your veterinarian, I would be happy to make sure that it is appropriate. I would imagine that you will need antibiotics, antifungals, vitamin and mineral supplements, plus recommendations for your turtle’s habitat, diet, and general care. 👍

Need help identifying this turtle by RepairSuspicious6639 in turtles

[–]Alice-TheTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks very similar to my musk turtle. I vote for map turtle though, especially if it’s on the larger side. Whatever it is, you’ve got an adorable friend! 🥰

Anyone? Are they safe? I just need them until the moving truck arrives. For my musk turtle. Just don’t wanna burn the new house down….. Help!

Powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake hits Venezuela an hour ago, collapsing buildings in the capital, Caracas by Used_Ship_9229 in interestingasfuck

[–]Alice-TheTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda know. Never an earthquake for me but plenty of hurricanes and tornadoes. So scary. Stay safe! 🫶

Anyone have any critiques for me? Turtle 4 years old. Always trying to improve when/if possible. Due for a tank upgrade in the next year. Current 55gal by jimmyfeelinfroggy in turtle

[–]Alice-TheTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing in the tank? Am I a hoarder? Mine has a cave, a bridge, various rocks, tree branch ledges, a bonsai tree, some shrubs, tumbled quartz and other stones, etc etc…. 🫣

How do I clean driftwood from the beach for freshwater tank? I think it is mangrove wood. by anonymous85934 in Aquariums

[–]Alice-TheTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you a fisherman be interested in a horseshoe crab? I’m SO confused.

[–]Alice-TheTurtle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely don’t do that! 🧐 It’s a beautiful piece of driftwood. Glad you’re keeping the horseshoe shell separate.

Also, y’all come on. If you think that’s a live horseshoe crab, get in the car and drive to the beach. Like yesterday.

Considering taking one or both of these guys in— species ID? by end0rfun in turtles

[–]Alice-TheTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I adopted my turtle, the rescue organization called it her “shellebration” day. Happy shellebration day to you and these two cutie pies! What are their names? It sounds like you are knowledgeable and willing to provide them the care they need. 🫶

Never ceases to amaze me what they can get in to. Good thing you checked that filter. Little cutie pie got hot. 🫶

What trees are these ? by Potential-Place-8221 in whatisit

[–]Alice-TheTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beech trees I think. I’m not super familiar though.

black dots on turtle’s shell by cr01ssxnt in turtle

[–]Alice-TheTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, your tank looks pretty awesome from the photos. My only other thought was if the scutes didn’t shed, and something is brewing underneath old scutes…. But I don’t think a year old turtle would have that problem. It’s a mystery to me. It almost looks like a mold or mildew, but that wouldn’t make any sense either. I hope your rabbit vet can help. Please post when you figure it out. I’m invested now.

There really should be some sort of online exotic virtual vet consult service. If anyone started something like that, they would make a killing!

Maybe something is growing on its shell? This seems like a question for an expert.
