General Care Discussion :: Brixie died today

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

For the last few weeks, Brixie has been spending a lot of time sleeping with her head underwater. She has been eating less and her bite has been much weaker. The condition of the water was normal, and I even bought a new heater. Unfortunately, when I came home from work today, she was dead, eyes closed and floating in the water. I had her for almost 5 years. I'll be burying her tonight.

Thanks for the years of help and sharing your laughter with me.

Thanks everyone. I've dug a hole in my backyard and will be burying her shortly.
