I have two turtles, one is a female (who is the one not moving) and i have a male who is acting perfectly normal. Usually they are all over place...on top of each other and climbing but today the female, has been resting in the corner of the tank with her eyes closed. My boyfriend says that she just wants to sleep...but the light is still on and they no that its not night time unless the lights offf...and the male is still moving around. But the female is in the corner with her eyes closed (and yes she is ALIVE). I dont know what too doo... Please help. Any help at all would be wonderful Thanks.

Are there any wounds? It's possible the male attacked her. But if there aren't any, then it's likely she caught a cold and respiratory infection has started to set in. It is the most common illness among turtles and it is contagious.
