I have a friend Krista, she has an aquatic turtle whose shell is soft and he has blood showing through his shell. Just a hatchling, I’m hoping she will join in the group soon. She has the proper set up, lighting etc. any advice from the group. Thanks Lisa
Sounds like septicemia.

blood showing throught the shell is usually a sign of septecemia. She shoudl consult a veterinarian. The turtle will need antibiotics.
