Rescue Baby Painted pic
This little fella was brought into where I used to work because the people thought they were going to get hit by a car, tried to keep him and he was really bad before I volunteered to take him home. He has a bit of a warped shell but other than that he is a tough I named him "Trucker".

Nice work man. Good to see people helping homeless turtles. I know I'm not the only one now. Keep us up to date on his progress. And be sure to get lots of UVB on him. He has probably never had it.
Cheers mate,
Garrett

I rescued a baby painted turtle and a baby red eared slider yesterday. The red ear is fine but the painted turtles shell is pelling and soft looking. Its not soft to the touch its just dosent look right. He came from a 2 gallon tank that had no light at all with lots of algae complety covering the sides and no real dry spot. Im sure the water qualty wasnt that good. So i was wondering if the shell peeling was caused by wrong houseing or a vitamin definece. There both in quarintine before they go in with the other turtles. what do u guys thank is the problem?
Thanks alot

ohioherp, get the turtle to a vet right away, those are horrible conditions for them to of lived in and it sounds like it need medical attention asap.
Good luck!
