Urgent Care :: My turtle making chirping noise

[portsporting06]

1 of my turtle making a chirping noise

[Love of Animals]

How often? Is he showing any other signs of RI? Mucus coming from nose & mouth, open mouth breathing, lop sided swimming, tired all the time?

[portsporting06]

Nope just. I just called a vet and they want 128 dollars for a visit -_-. but my turtle stop chirping 3 hours ago. I changed the hole water and clean the filter.

[Love of Animals]

How often was he chirping? Bump up the water temps to 80 degrees and the basking to 90. If it's an occasional chirp keep an eye out for other symptoms. If he's chirping a lot he'll need a vet visit. Call around to different vets.

these vets in nj asking for so much and i dont even have the cash. my job hasnt payed me yet

[portsporting06]

how do i increased the basking temp?

[Love of Animals]

With a higher wattage basking bulb. Just keep it at 90. Be careful not to bake him.

[portsporting06]

i have a 50 wat and a 100 wat bulb

[portsporting06]

those are the only 2 i have left and the one im using now is 50

[Love of Animals]

You'll have to use the 100 with more distance. What is the temp of your basking area with the 50?
