Ironic that this should happen while I'm on this site...I just got a phone call from a friend and he was telling me about his turtles. He has a male and a female, just like me, and the male decided to fan his business in the females face. So then Lois(the girl) bit Clarkes(the boy) penis! Has this happened to anyone before, or should my friend take Clarke to the vet?!

P.S there is minor bleeding
TURTLES:
JASMINE~3 1/2 YEARS OLD, FEMALE (RES)
DRIBBLE~3 1/2 YEARS OLD, MALE (RES)

It's been known to happen. He should take him to the vet as soon as he can.

Jenaero is right. Have your friend take the turtle to a vet. If there is bleeding, the turtle is susceptible to infection.

Don't worry, my friend took him to the vet a while ago. Apparently there must be a big que, because he hasn't come back yet.

Your friend should be getting a separate tank as well...hopefully the male will recover.

Sorry for the late reply, I went to go see a movie last night. So, yea the vet told my friend to keep him in a seperate tank and to apply some kinda ointment(sorry, don't know what it's called) to the area twice a day, and to keep him dry for an hour after each appliance of the ointment.

just wondering when he applies the ointiment on does he just put it on his cloaca because he eally could put it on his ''thang'' unless he was fanning right?
