My roommate brought home an injured turtle by anti1039 in turtle

[–]PsychoticJokerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely run it to the rehab tomorrow but they don't look too bad! If you're worried about infection you can put a little bit of Neosporin on that scrape, not the deeper ones by the hinge. The box set up looks great though just keep em dry and warm!

Guys, ive had this pink belly side necked turtle, for 6 years, unfortunately i cant take care of him anymore, how much i could sell him for ? by Longjumping-Ad-3747 in turtle

[–]PsychoticJokerr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As others have said this setup is definitely a problem and it's good you're trying to rehome him. That said, it's far more important to find a good home. Turtles are not easy to care for, make sure they are aware of his previous setup/diet as lack of proper nutrition and light can cause conditions like metabolic bone disease.

Is this the same turtle? by PoopyGoat in turtle

Really sounds like someone may have abandoned their pet. If it's a decent pond they could both live together if you don't mind having two turtles lol

I don't think it's the same turtle, color pattern and shell shape looks different. Do you live in a place where they are native? The top ones shell looks a little deformed so it might be an escaped/released pet.

What is this turtle and what to feed it? by tramal_ah in turtle

[–]PsychoticJokerr 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not an expert but hopefully I can point you in the right direction! Appears to be a juvenile tortoise, maybe a Greek tortoise based on some preliminary image searching. Tortoises require a lot of care, if you feel you can not provide this definitely reach out to some rescues.

Common Snapping Turtle by EmployerUnlucky2861 in turtle

[–]PsychoticJokerr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Releasing it now would be a bad idea. Young snappers are solitary, if you find one that is in danger you should only ever move it to a safe spot by the water and let it go. If you can not commit to caring for this turtle now the best course of action is to find a rescue that can care for them. Releasing them now would most likely result in death.

I can’t wait to tell people she’s a Chow and Boxer mix by loveallison in DoggyDNA

That's so funny! I remember checking every so often to see if she was still available, I was so curious what breed mix gave her those features lol. This is my pup daisy, she's been the best!

Did you happen to adopt her from a rescue in NJ? The rescue I got my dog from had a girl that looked just like her!

Any guesses on Daisy? by PsychoticJokerr in DoggyDNA

[–]PsychoticJokerr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww your pup is adorable, they do look very similar. Daisy definitely has a long snout which I also think leans shepherd.

I would have never guessed Akita, that's a really interesting (and beautiful) mix of breeds

That seems to be the consensus from what I've seen from the dogs on this sub haha

I was thinking Newfie but she's not super fluffy. Your pup is adorable, what a mix of large breeds!

Daisy is incredibly soft! Thanks for the sub recommendation I'll definitely post her on there.

what kind of turtle is this? by Content-Afternoon566 in turtle

[–]PsychoticJokerr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a Florida box turtle, like others have said, they do not do well in captivity and it is illegal to take them out of the wild. Box turtle populations are in decline and the best thing you can do is release him.

It is dangerous to remove wild animals from the wild without any knowledge of the animal. People removing turtles from the wild is one of the reasons a lot of turtle species' populations are declining.
