Are scales peeling off like this normal for red eared sliders?

Anyone know some good above water plants my turtles rips anything I put in the tank. So I’ve be looking for some house plants I could stick in the above the tanks and roots in the water like spider plants.

Hey guys. Just bought a russian tortoise. I have ceramic heater emitter. But also plenty of sun. I knkw the ceramic heater mimic the sun so i shouldnt need that right? A couple of hours on the sun os perfect right?

I noticed that my turtle underside looks like this. I just want to know if I should be concerned or go ahead and see about taking him to a vet? I am also thinking about changing his basking area to something smooth because it could be the roughness rubbing against his shell.

i adopted this baby around a week ago and he was really healthy. recently ive been noticing 2 lumps on his shoulder right below his shell and his eyes are super swollen. he is less active and would barely walk and touch his food. i just lost a turtle and i couldnt bare losing another one, id appreciate any advice given.

Hello everyone, I''m a grandma now 😭

All jokes aside, what should I do with the egg? What should I do with my turtle? Do I keep her out of the tank? Feed her something other than the pellets?? She's acting normal so far, is there anything I can do to make her comfortable Incase she lays more eggs? How many more do I anticipate? Can she eat those eggs? Are they safe to eat??

I won't be home for a week so my mom is taking care of my turtle. For now I told her to keep the egg in a separate container. I know it doesn't have a fetus because she laid an egg without a mate. But I still wanted to see the egg when I return home. Is that safe to do so?

Will y'all rate my turtle setup if I post it? Also give me tips on how to make it better

She is about 6-8 years old and I got her from my brother my 8th grade year and I’m a freshman in college now, she basks all day under her heat build and her light is turned off at night to sleep. She’s fed every 2 days and I’ll feed her 2 teaspoons worth of food when I do. Does her shell look okay with this black color or is she hurt or sick or anything because I don’t know.

I have a 14 year old yellow bellied-slider, and for the summer I like to leave him in the garden during the day. The weather is beautiful where I lived and I’m planning to set up a temporary chillin spot for him. It will have an enclosure high enough to protect him from my dogs, but I was wondering if you can provide me with any ideas aside of a kiddie pool for him to swim in. I’m looking for something cheap and easy to remove since he can only be outside for 3 months before it gets cold again.

Are these spots a concern? The left and right of his body they look a little red.
