hello, does anyone have any experience with the skin swelling near the shell and around the neck? i do not think this is a case if being overweight.

Can you post some pictures?
How long have you noticed the swelling?
And, what is the turtle's habitat and diet like?

Where was he swollen? Was it just one spot like a leg or was his entire body swollen? It's good that it's going down.
Is he kept inside or outdoors?
