Hey Guys! I haven't posted anything in a really long time. Remember me?

Anyhow, I ran into an unusual problem. See, I usually buy my 2 RES two apple snails a month as a treat. This time the snail got the best of the turtle. When my RES was trying to pry open the snail, the snail was able to close up on one of the turtles claw/finger. Can a turtle break a finger and is it something I should worry about if it did?

The turtle seems to be doing okay now. I could tell she was in a lot of pain.

I don't know if a turtle can break a bone in its "hands" or not. I just don't want it to develop any kind of infection or anything. Thanks!
