UPDATE on sick turtle

I posted yesterday about my Mom’s turtle, Lil’ Bit. I appreciate the responses. Turns out he had parasites and the vet had to amputate his penis😬. Mom had scheduled a vet appointment, but it wasn’t until this morning, and she was very anxious.

Mom hatched them from an egg. Their father, Sheldon, was hatched in my daughter’s room. Sheldon recently celebrated his 21st birthday!

Here is a video of Lil’ Bit and their sibling, Bully (he’s a biter). Lil’ Bit is on the right. 🐢
