HELP NEEDED, MY SMALL SOFT SHELL TURTLE HAS FUNGUS ON ITS SHELL, WATER IS PERFECT GOOD FILTER UVB LIGHT SAND EST, NEED HELP ON HOW TO CURE IT DONT WANT TO LOSE MY LITTLE GUY PLEASE MESSAGE ME!!!!
@2012supersophie just follow the general steps in the video, but there may be other things being that you mention it is on the shell, i hear those are cause by scratches of the turtle bumping or rubbing causing small scratched on its soft shell, is there anything in the tank that may cause abrasions to its shell? im not really informed on how to take care of that infection, message me the type of turtle and will gladly look and help you research how to cure your turtle.
@TheSCstudios just mix regular salt for aquariums (for saltwater tanks) into a small place with water, i usually cover the botom but not like with a lot of salt, and make sure that the water is above the turtles shell, it should be in there no more than like 2 hours, if you do an all day bath then give them breaks where they bask inbetween the 2 hours, and then put them back in, with clean salt water
Ok soo my baby eastern painted turtle has some white discoloration on his back two legs, what I'd it,how can I get rid of it and how can I prevent it?
@TheSCstudios keep the water clean and at the right ph is a good thing to do, the steps in the video should work if its fungus, which is just salt water basically and put the turtle to soak for a couple of hours, then on a basking platform to dry COMPLETELY then you can put it back in a small tank that can quickly and easily be disinfected, to clean the quarantine tank every week atleast with soap and water (i use dawn) sooner if no filter on the tank.
@weezybeatseminem23 an hour everyday should be ok, i think the max i would do for them would be like 8 hours, but you have to change the dip every 1-2 hours, really depends on how you see the turtle doing in the dip, because its pretty painful/irritating to them, but 1 is ok just make sure they dry off!
@EcBuddy123 i have a baby red eared slider and it has like skin peeling off or fungus im not sure but it does have skin fungus so are youu sure this will work?
@weezybeatseminem23 well if its puffy, and white, or maybe brown, and maybe has a bit of a nasty smell, it is fungus, if its shed, it should be sorta clear and hang from the place its shedding, stays for a maximum of 2 days, or so, but yeah this should work, theres other teatments too. sorry for my late reply!
my yellow bellied slider has somthing on his skin some white thing i heard it was a type of infection and to not worry but when turtle grows into its new shell would it go
@badman88777 i dont understand the question, but any type of infection should be something to worry about. I say take a look at it, take it to the vet or something, make sure its treated right.
@neon9fan is he the only turtle? check it and see if its a minor cut and nothing major, keep him in a lil container with clean water for a few, so u can monitor him and make sure bleeding stops, making him bask a lil will help dry up the blood and heal the wound, then find all the probable cause of its injury and fix them before the turtle goes back in the tank
@EcBuddy123 he is the only turtle and i left him in a place to dry and he stoped bleeding but i realize how he got the cut,he got it from his shell.when he pulls his head in it scrapes his neck and i found out without vitamins a trtles shell can get messed up but i pay for everything myself and im eleven years old and i cant afford a filter or a basking lamp.i sit him in the sun twice a day and change his cage like everyday but i need a better way to help my turtle.
@neon9fan im sure its not from the shell, if it is then he must have pyramiding, which means he isnt getting the right nutrtion, so some better food might be needed, what do u feed him? also whats in his tank/bin?
@EcBuddy123 i feed him worms and pellets and carrots but i never seen him eat a carrot though.but in his tank there isnt that much water because i dont have a log or a good basking area so i put a big rock he can clim on but i had to take some water out so he climb on the rock and be dry
@trobyto sure, as for the iodium thing i think thats another method i never used it but others have and u can try that, im sure it will work, but not salt and iodium together
@jaimetheskater1 yeah u can just check there theturtlesource also has adds there but ur thinking about turtleshack and turtlesale those two arent the best but they also have turtles
yeah, looks like you know what your doing.. i have a 14yr. old RES and I'm having a real hard time finding a basking area strong enough to support her shes huge. i had the same one you have that floats, but she couldnt get up, instead she started nippling on it, lol so i had to throw it out. good luck with the fungus!
@sarahhelen84 fear of impactation i know but they usually dont o it on purpose and i have seen them sometimes by acciednt iingest some but nothing that can hurt them, its only if eaten in large amounts, but yeah ur right, but pebbles are worse!
@stingray614 sorta but its not like for 24 hours a day its just a soak of maybe max 4 hours in a quick dip and up to 8 for an all day, but the salt really kills the bacteria, and for the turtles to turn to saltwater i highly doubt it maybe the DTB since it can do both but all animals are made to live in their especifications from birth, plus if u go to a store for some sulfa dip its just salt (the aquarium kind) and for drops idk never seen them, yeah it look like shed but then it gets bubly
@stingray614 hmm yeah i know theres drops for eye problems which i used before as for the aquarium salt i use the instant ocean salt has a clown fish on the box
@stingray614 yeah i think overdosing on anything can harm them, and anti chlorine?whats tat for? just do a sulfa dip easiest thing even doe some ppl use iodine (or someting around that name) solutions salt is the easiest to me
@stingray614 lmao cool also clean ur tank well every week or so and put a bit of salt in the tank (not alot to make it see water l0l) it helps too and just do the container quaranteen for about 2-4 hours and then after throw out the watr in the container and put them back in under a basking light to dry off
you have to be careful with that fungi ^_^ clean ur hands dude XD lol awesome video man! and keep up the good work with ur pets, ( cause unlike someone i know) (NINA!) you accualy clean and help ur pets. any who. good gob.
Nice vid but a lil to late for humpty :( r.i.p but now if nails gets sick I know what to do now. And the sand looks great does it get sucked into ur filter?
yeah sorry but i saw like not one vid on this stuff you know, and grr idk but this cold weather really makes the house cold and now baskers is getting like a lump on his cheek so idk wat it is now i need to see that as well grr!!! and not if u clean it well then only a lil goes into the filter lately things have been good i didnt get much in the filters
actually i might just buy a powerhead and another hob filter for the tank for more circulation, since i mean i am trying to save for a larger tank with a giant canister like 40 breeder has the 405 but tanks yeah their pushing 4 inches (bandito) and gw is like 3 inches, and their getting better, hows the tegu?
yeah i saw ur video on this but so far i made sure that the sand was thoroughly cleaned to get rid of all the small flying sand so far 3 days and doing great got of other stuff in it already but not really sand in it l0l
actually now that u bring him up i need to get a new vid of him!hes grown like 2-3 inches and is a monster! i use the 405 on my 40 along with a cheap submersible
imo i think that if the hob filter is strong enough rated it could clear up the water just as well as a canister, the only problem is that canisters have better biological filtration
quick question do all maps breed or do you need the same type ??

EcBuddy123 1 year ago
skin problems? i thought it's shedding?
as for fungi growth, i found some turtle drops you know?
p/s: won't adding the seasalt to the water turn the freshwater into saltwater?
stingray614 1 year ago
@stingray614 sorta but its not like for 24 hours a day its just a soak of maybe max 4 hours in a quick dip and up to 8 for an all day, but the salt really kills the bacteria, and for the turtles to turn to saltwater i highly doubt it maybe the DTB since it can do both but all animals are made to live in their especifications from birth, plus if u go to a store for some sulfa dip its just salt (the aquarium kind) and for drops idk never seen them, yeah it look like shed but then it gets bubly
EcBuddy123 1 year ago
@EcBuddy123 oh. well, one day i'll make a vid about my stuff. there are drops for them =[ (but i seriously think it's not working lol)
anyway, are there any salts that you might perhaps recommend? thanks.
stingray614 1 year ago
@stingray614 hmm yeah i know theres drops for eye problems which i used before as for the aquarium salt i use the instant ocean salt has a clown fish on the box
EcBuddy123 1 year ago
@EcBuddy123 oh okay. thanks mann. i'll look out for that one if happen to see them. btw, will overdosing anti chlorine harm the turtles?
stingray614 1 year ago
@stingray614 yeah i think overdosing on anything can harm them, and anti chlorine?whats tat for? just do a sulfa dip easiest thing even doe some ppl use iodine (or someting around that name) solutions salt is the easiest to me
EcBuddy123 1 year ago
@EcBuddy123 lol. anti chlorine is what you guys call water conditioner. the liquid used to remove chlorine and chlorimate
stingray614 1 year ago
@stingray614 then i doubt it l0l
EcBuddy123 1 year ago
