Just behind each eye is a salt gland. The salt glands help sea turtles to maintain a healthy water balance by shedding large "tears" of excess salt. If a sea turtle appears to be "crying" it is usually not cause for alarm, as the turtles are merely keeping their physiology in check. It is not because they are upset or sad.

hey my turtle is doing that same thins i got it turtle aid to clear bad fungy what else should i do cuz i dont want to loose it 

[Robert6383]

my turtle 'Wonton' had the exact samething so we tried to put this medicine made for turtles with that kind of sickness in his mouth but he didn't like it. so he tried to get away but couldn't so he started making those noises and started to cry (and u can actually see his eyes wet D:... ) and he was getting stressed :(

[jasondcoi]

Possibly.. once you give it warmer water, and let it have direct sunlight for about a half hour each day, it should clear up in a month or so.. Sepreate it from other turtles, if you have more than one, as not to spread any infection.

hey my younger turtle, Heidi, does the same thing as Turd does...

Could this mean that Heidi also has respiratory infection?
