Question
i have two turtles at my home.one of the turtle has a wound on his neck because the other one has bitten him.now there is a swelling at his neck and it is very lazy too now a days.what should i do?

Answer
HI this sounds like they're mating.  If there is sewlling then a vet should evaluate him to see if there is a need for antibiotcis.  also you should think of seperating them so this doesnt progressivly get worse.

It could be a territory issue as well so it is best to get them space between them so this will not continue.
