This is off topic here but I'm gonna paste my post from the turtle/tortoise forum. 'me sniffs'
Well, my red-ear that would only eat fish lately, has died.
He looked fine and was acting normal. Then I went to try giving him some Banana and he was limp on his basking ramp twitching his head violently. ??????? One minute he was swimming and fine, and 20 seconds later it looked as though he was having some kind of seziure. I picked him up to check his airway and he was limp and barely twitching. Before I could pick up the phone to call the vet, he died in my hands. Went limp. I checked his breathing but nothing. I held him for 15 minutes hoping he might, I don't know, come back or snap out of it. But I knew he was gone.
Another victim of negligent idiotic dumbass human losers who didn't care enough to give him the care he needed for the first 3 years of his life. The love and home I provided for his last 6 months, I hope was his best. I'm a 28 year old man and I feel like crying. I don't know what to think. I'll take him to the vet tomorrow to get a cause of death.
