myRES - The Get Away

Do you know your turtle's shell is showing signs of long term mineral imbalance? There is some pyramiding, the margins are turned up and he has the tell-tale growing out of his shell look. Allowing free roam of the house is unhealthy. Houses aren't warm enough. Improper temps lead to respiratory infections. If you have been using a UVB light at all, know that they are NOT an equal substitute for direct unfiltered sunlight. Not filtered thru glass. He looks very calcium deficient. Sunlight is needed to stimulate vit. D production in the skin so calcium can be absorbed from food. Me and many others know that having outdoor setups are healthier.
