The other day i got a phone call from my friend saying that he found a super small turtle on the road that wasnt super responsive. I rode my bike over and found that he found a super young common snapper. Bc there are no rules saying that you cant keep common snappers. theres actually a catch limit on these guys of 1 per day, i assume the state doenst like em too much. I brought this little turtle home and ive been caring for him since. Ive deemed that he has a respitory infection because of the little clicks hes making. Stretches out his neck, doesnt eat and opens his mouth to breath. Ive warmed his water up and givin him a heat lamp like what i use for my dragons to make sure he doesnt get to cold. Hes just been sitting on the rock with his limbs all spread out. I realy gave gope tgat this little guy wont die. For those of you who own any turtles, am i doing everything right to help him. Also should i be trying to syringe feed him. I dont want to see this little guy go
