Hello,
My RES's skin appears to be inflated--like a balloon filled with air. These large sacks of air appear to be present on every region of my turtle's body. I have no idea what this is. Please help me.

Thank you,
Cole

Welcome. when you say sacks, do you you mean your turtle has individual sacks like blisters on his body or is his body (legs, neck, etc.) puffy?

How big is your turtle? How long have you had him? When did you notice this condition?

Are there any other symptoms? Can you post a picture? It would be really helpful.
