Pet Turtle Care: How to Clean Turtle Shell

One of our readers asked us last week:

“I have a baby red ear she is only about a year old and she had a really soft brittle shell for a awhile . I have since been treating her like the vets have said and it is getting better , but now her shell is growning very dark green moldy fuzz all over . Should i be worried? And what could I do different?”

If you asked us before, we would have said to cleaning the turtle’s shell with a soft toothbrush, but this video from Expert Village says you don’t even have to. Go figure.

Not the prettiest of turtles, but they never cease to amaze me. I especially like how they lure their prey.

Killer Turtle Attacks!

Hope you had a good 4th of July!

Here’s a silly, but cute video of a hungry turtle. Not surprised the turtle decided to nip at her finger. Mine used to do that when they were hungry!
