 |
|
I have two red eared sliders, one a little bit bigger than the other. The smallest one has now started floating! He cannot stay at the bottom of the tank, and when he floats, he's lopsided (one side is higher than the other)...  I don't know a lot about turtles, and hope that someone can help me! A friend said it might be a respiratory problem.... |
