hey, my friend's friend's turtle is suffering. i just saw the pictures of it and i knew it was in bad shape. It was a healthy turtle before but i dont even know what happened to it. please help =*(

I can't answer this, but I would contact a local vet very quickly.

Here's a link for US vets that treat reptiles.

poor animal! did your friend abuse this turtle? it looks like burns, possibly chemical. and yes he needs to see a vet right away.
i added the "warning" in the subject area.

If it were me, I'd take him in and have him put down.

Kinda looks like he's been in a fire, or put in a container with a basking area without being able to get out of the heat for a very long time.

is your friend willing to do anything for him or is he in your care now? Did he have any explanation as to what happened?

did is the most cruel thing i have evr seen....
Its right up there with the no eye res somesite sells

How long has he had this turtle? What has he been feeding it?

I am seeing MBD along with other problems (burns/shell rot)..
This poor RES is suffering..
I really don't think he/she can be helped.. The kindest thing at this point IMHO is euthanasia.

that is so gross. poor poor turtle. it makes me sad just looking at it.

how?why?who?what?
oh my plz do something fast this hurts bad!
plz inform us soon.

besides the shell why is the water brown anyways?

I don't think that's water, just the background.

That poor thing...

has anyone heard anything else about this poor turtle?

Nope, they just disappeared.
