his scutes looks like he hasnt had the proper amount of calcim. he probably caught bacteria maybe specteria and a respatory infection from the cage. take him to the vet if u canemysemys said:This is Tillman:
I received a phone call earlier today asking if I would take in a sick turtle. I said yes and gave directions to my house. The young couple who brought Tillman to me just "love" turtles. She has many turtle statuary around the house. She bought Tillman at a local pet shop as a hatchling 1 1/2 years ago and the pet shop guy told her she would be able to keep him in an aquarium for at least five years. I forgot to ask them what they had been feeding Tillman, but his shell is nice and hard although his beak is somewhat deformed and I doubt in its current state he would be able to bite off anything. He will have to have bite sized pieces of food for a while. The reason she wanted to give him up was because he is listless, not eating and won't open his eyes. I really neglected to get any information from them. It's 115 degrees outside today and I guess I was just anxious to get back inside. Its not my business to ask why they didn't take him to the vet, or to be judgemental, but its pretty hard not to be in this day and age when internet research is so easy and readily available.
I don't know if he's too far gone, but I'll give it the old college try and hope for the best!
