I pray that he will be at peace soon.

have you taken him the vet in island glades? brothers own that shop and they are the best in their line of work. if it is not too late, you can always go see them. Peng Aun Veterinary.

Thanks for recommending the vet. I think my turtle is no more. I took a look at him again and he appeared bloated and stiff. This is a sad sad day for me.
