Candace, Candace, Candace… Looks like you have all sorts of help. Chun may be close, as also I saw someone mention Baytril for resp infection. I am impressed with the response you received. Excessive basking is a good sign of stress. The clear feces is a sign of sloughing the intestinal lining. This is an early indication of vit A deficency, which also leads to inflamed eyes. As everyone mentioned keep your temp around 80-84F. A dry area to bask is also nice. pH decreaser is ususally a mild sulfuric acid ( battery acid. This can be very irritating to the eyes in large amounts. pH over 7 is ideal but less than 8.5. Baking soda 1tbsp per 20 gallons as well as table salt in this same amount will keep your pH in this range. Follow the basking info you received. good luck, Scott — In diamondbackterrapins@egroups.com, “Chun-Ming Chew”
