hi, yesterday my mom heard a noise coming from the turtle tank that sounded like fighting. she didnt get there in time, but there was blood all over the basking platform. :shock: we checked all of them, no wounds or any evidence.
here are the turtles, Bay, Yang, and Gui. http://draconiclight831.deviantart.com/art/meh-turtles1-128370142 we rescued them from chinatown. yang, the female in the middle, is 3 years old. Bay, on the left,is a 2 year old, runted male. and Gui on the right, is a 2 year old male, i cant tell if he is small size or not. so, anywho, Gui had been showing signs that he wanted to breed with Yang in the spring. my mom who is a vet, and the reptile guy in the pet store both agreed they probably mated. if this is the case, we dont have a clue of what to do. there is no sand in the tank, only a plant, gravel at the bottom, and a basking platform floating on the water. we are going away tuesday.

thank you sooo much!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

eeerrmmm, ok, it happened again. the male was definitely trying to breed her, she was clinging onto his foot, and his thing was hanging out and he had his tail in his mouth.

thankyou, sophia :mrgreen: :mrgreen: . we dont have room for another tank, so im thinking about finding another home for the male. he did it again, and one person said hed kill her. the other person disagreed. and now, he isnt even eating. he just lies around with his head down becoming emaciated. do i have to force feed him? i dont want yang or gui to die.
replies are highly appreciated !!!!
